Quiet Luxury Hair: The Expensive Hair Trend Explained

STEPS

Before

Part the hair into quadrants: two from the center of the ear forward and two behind, working off a center part to the nape.

Apply Formula A in a “V” painting method to a diagonal forward vertical slice section just behind the ear.

Apply Formula B to the inside of the “V” to add depth and dimension. Be sure to blend the lines out and not create a severe line with the lowlight formula.

Repeat the process for three to four slice partings until you reach just above the ear, working with diagonal vertical partings and Formulas A and B.

Pro Tip: For easier application on long hair, use Joico Artistry Foils. These large, 7x14 foils make it easier apply multiple formulas to long hair.

Repeat the process on the opposite side for a total of four to five slice partings.

Continue working upward in the same section. In the red foils, apply Formula B from scalp to ends. To create more texture and dimension, leave some ends out on the lowlights.

Using your creative eye, determine where to apply lightness with Formula A (in foils) to balance the design, blurring the line of demarcation on grown-out balayage.

Keep working upward in various diagonal partings, alternating Formulas A and B. These varying diagonal partings will ensure the color is well-blended and will erase any prior lines of demarcation. Continue taking micro-slices until the back sections are complete.

Next, working in the front, take a fine diagonal forward slice parting and apply Formula A to the pieces that frame the face. These are called skinlights—get the technique here!

Begin the contouring lowlights by applying Formula C behind the face-frame from scalp to ends.

Pro Tip: Remember to flick the ends out of some foil to create sombré pieces.

Continue working in the front section with Formulas A and C to add depth and light. Keep partings angular with fine slices.

Repeat on the opposite side.

Completed foiling.

Process for 35 minutes, then shampoo with Joico K-PAK Color Therapy. Towel-dry the hair with two towels by squeezing, not shaking. Apply Formula D from scalp to ends with a bottle applicator, process for 15 minutes, then shampoo and condition with K-PAK Color Therapy. For an added boost of shine, apply K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Instant Shine & Repair Treatment or K-PAK Color Therapy Multi-Perfector Protect & Shine Spray.
