COLOR FORMULAS
Formula A Pravana ChromaSilk Crème Hair Color 7.40
Formula B: 1 Tube Pravana NEONS Orange
Formula C: 1 Tube Pravana NEONS Yellow
Formula D: 1 Tube Pravana NEONS Blue
Begin with clean, dry hair. Model was colored using Formula A, making her a great candidate for a Pravana NEONS Orange overlay. Section the hair into four quadrants.
Apply Formula B from roots to ends by taking small subsections and working up the head. Overlaying Formula B over current copper or red haircolor will boost color vibrancy.
