STEPS
Before
Divide the hair down the center part to just behind the ear, then from the crown to the nape, forming three sections.
Starting at the back of the head (just below the ear at the hairline), take a diagonal weave and apply Formula A, always feathering the formula 2 to 3 inches from the scalp area.
Repeat on the opposite side and slightly higher center-back.
Leave a parting of natural hair, then take a horizontal weave parting and apply Formula B in the same manner. Continue working toward the crown, creating a brick-lay effect by alternating Formulas A and B.
Pro Tip: Feathering can vary depending on overall effect and desired result. In this case, Joico feathered higher (approximately 1-1½ inches) as they worked up toward the top of the head and closer to the face.
Starting on the sides, clip away a ½-inch horizontal section in the front hairline (fringe area), then take a diagonal weave parting (parallel to the hairline) and apply Formula A in the same manner.
Leave a slice of natural hair, then take a diagonal weave parting and apply Formula B.
Continue to alternate weave partings, pivoting from diagonal into horizontal toward the top of the head at the center parting, ending with Formula A.
Pro Tip: The haircolor should always frame the face and pivot to accentuate the head shape.
Repeat Step 4 on the opposite side.
Proceed to the fringe area. Take two back-to-back horizontal, fine-weave partings and apply Formula B, feathering the formula closer to the scalp.
Process for 60 minutes. Shampoo with Joico K-PAK Color Therapy and towel-dry hair. Apply Formula C from scalp to ends, starting at the back and working toward the front; process for 20 minutes. Shampoo and condition with K-PAK Color Therapy.
Note: Shade selection may vary depending starting level and desired result.
