STEPS
Before
Apply Formula A to the regrowth area and blend using a Colortrak Spongelight Haircolor Applicator.
Apply Formula B to the prelightened areas and use foils between sections to promote heat and keep sections separate.
Process until the hair has achieved even lift. Shampoo with Clairol Professional iThrive Keratin Rescue Shampoo and rinse with cold water. Then, blow-dry.
Section the hair. Apply Formula C, Formula D, Formula E and Formula F to the hair closest to the roots. As you work your way down the sections, apply Formula G, Formula H, Formula I and Formula J. Then, blend!
Pro Tip: Make sure you are mindful of complementary colors when placing your formulas.
Process, then rinse with cold water and apply Clairol Professional iThrive Color Vibrancy Treatment. Process for 5 minutes. Rinse again with cold water, then blow-dry.
For styling, curl the hair with a 1.25-inch curling iron and break up the curls with your fingers.
Apply a volumizing or texturizing powder at the crown, then gently backcomb and smooth.
Gather the hair to one side and create a Dutch braid. Sprinkle texturizing powder and plait, continuing to the ends of the hair.
Then, backcomb ends to secure braid and apply hairspray.
