Steps
1. This client had previous balayage that was green. Megan wanted to lift out the green and brighten the blonde, but wanted the lift to be slow (“because she has a lot of hair and I’m slow!” Megan said), so she balayaged with Formula A on wet hair.
2. After processing, rinse and dry. Apply Formula B at the base and as a lowlight.
3. Alternate sections (in ribbons) of Formulas C, D, E and F. Megan’s trick is this: “I keep a bowl of Clear on hand to melt all the colors into more pastel versions on the ends.”
