Prelighten with BLONDOR Freelights using deep V-sections. When the desired lift has been achieved, cleanse the hair with Brilliance Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair followed by Wella Professionals Color Post Treatment. Blow-dry the hair before sectioning for the next color application.
Take a large star on the top of the head, starting behind the fringe toward the back. Start to color inside the star with back-to-back zigzag sections, alternating Formulas A and B.
Below the star, start at the temples. Take vertical back-to-back slices, alternating Formulas A, B and C.
Once the hair is done processing, cleanse with Brilliance Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair, followed by BLONDOR Blonde Seal & Care.
Prep the hair with EIMI Perfect Me Lightweight Beauty Balm Lotion as a cutting aid. Section as shown.
Working around the perimeter of the head, create soft layers by elevating the hair and cutting at a diagonal finger angle.
Taking small sections on the top using the same angles, blend the top to the sides and back.
Direct the sides forward to create softness around the face.
Prep the hair with EIMI Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray.
Create small braids and twists in the hair, then tap with your flat iron to lock in the bend.
Once the braids and twists have cooled, use EIMI Dry Me all over to create the texture and foundation. Create a knot on top of the head, roll a large section from the back around it and fix with EIMI Stay Styled.
