Steps

Separate the front hair from the hair at the back of the head. Divide the back section in half.

1. At the front of the head, create a Mohawk section and two side sections.

2. Beginning the back, use horizontal, back-to-back foils with a fine weave. Apply Formula A-1 to new growth and any banding.

3. Continue with the same pattern through the Mohawk and side sections in the front. Mix fresh bowls of Formula A-1 as needed.

Pro Tip: If your client has lighter or finer hair around the hairline, you may want to use Formula A-2 in these areas to avoid overpigmenting.

4. When all highlights are applied, go back between foils and apply Formula B.

5. Be sure to apply Formula B to all remaining new growth and any warm banding. Process for 45 minutes.

6. Rinse, shampoo with PRAVANA The Perfect Blonde Shampoo and towel-dry. Tone with Formula C for 5 minutes, then rinse, shampoo and condition with The Perfect Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner. Style with PRAVANA Polish & Reunite and PRAVANA Full Volume for shine and body.
