2. Once the regrowth lifts to a pale yellow, apply Formula B to mid-shaft and ends in ½ inch sections, working up the head and laying foil between every other section to allow consistent incubation.
3. Process to an even Level 10, then rinse, towel-dry and apply Formula C, watching until all unwanted pigment is gone.
