How to Fake a Shadow Root: The Foil Technique That Changes Everything

feat-Photo-Credit-Instagram-via-@romeufelipe (1)

STEPS

Prelighten hair to a Level 10 with Formula A at the roots and Formula B on the ends. Tone with Formula C to achieve a platinum blonde.

Section the hair as shown.

Start on the bottom section. Take a horizontal section from the nape and apply Formula D to the root area, then melt into Formula E through to the ends.

Work upwards in horizontal sections until the bottom section is complete. Fully and evenly saturate the hair with color to ensure an even deposit from roots to ends. Finish with a foil on top and bottom to prevent bleeding.

Proceed to the middle left and right sections. Take diagonal forward slices through the whole section. Apply Formula D to the root area, Formula E to the midshaft, and alternate between Formulas F, G, H and I on the ends. Finish sliced layers with foil.

When you reach the sections that frame the face (where the hair is shorter), melt Formulas D and E.

Move to Mohawk section. Build on the technique you used before by adding Formula E to the ends. Working from the back to the front, apply Formula D to the root area, Formula E to the midshaft, alternate the third melt between Formulas F, G, H and I, then finish with Formula E on the ends.

Pro Tip: Elevate your sections as you color to create a softer, more natural effect and avoid harsh lines.

Process for 25 minutes. Shampoo with K-PAK Color Therapy, then follow with K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock. Send your client home with Color Co+Wash Whipped Cleansing Conditioner to maintain color vibrancy.
