STEPS

Before

Create a teardrop section from the front hair line to the occipital bone.

In front of the ears, leave a 1-inch section along the hairline out of the teardrop section.

Behind the ears, leave out all of the hair below the occipital bone.

Starting at the nape, take 1-inch horizontal sections and apply Formula A at the base. Then, apply Formula B through the mids and ends and blend the two shades together. Continue this pattern all the way up to the teardrop section.

At the back of the teardrop section take a 1/4-inch slice. Apply Formula C at the base and blend down to Formula A applied at the mids. Apply Formula C at the ends and blend the shades together.

Take another 1/4-inch slice, leaving no hair out in between and apply Formula C at the base. Then, apply Formula D to the mids and ends and blend the two shades together.

Continue taking 1/4-inch slices throughout the teardrop section, alternating Steps 5 and 6. The last slice of the section, at the hairline, should be the following pattern: Formula C, Formula A, Formula C.

At the hairline (left out of the teardrop section), apply Formula C at the base. Then, apply Formula D through the mids and ends and blend the two shades together. Process, rinse and style as desired.
