A face-framing color design provides just the right amount of understated enhancement...plus a sunny touch of whimsy. Subscribe today!
STEPS
Create a horseshoe-shaped parting ear to ear. Lift a ÂĽ-inch vertical section at the top and create the guide.
Using the original guide, continue cutting ÂĽ-inch vertical sections to the ear on each side. Over-direct several of the final side parting to maintain length.
Dry hair with a Denman brush and cut a slightly curved fringe.
Elevate subsections to create a solid, beveled line.
Remove excess weight and refine the perimeter by elevating loose partings with the hands and cutting freehand.
Color Formula A:
VeroLight + 10-Volume (3%) Veroxide (gold foil)Color Formula B:
Vero K-Pak Color 9B + 10-Volume (3%) Veroxide (purple foil)Color Formula C:
Vero K-PAK Color ½ 8G + ½ 8RG with 10-Volume (3%) (copper foil)Color Formula D:
Vero K-Pak Color ½ 5N + ½ 5A with 10-Volume (3%) Veroxide
Isolate a Âľ-inch vertical-diagonal slice at the perimeter. Create an adjacent vertical-diagonal slice and apply Formula A from ?-inch off of the scalp to ends and secure with foil.
Apply Formula A to two more back-to-back slices, skip the next slice and apply Formula A to the next slice.
Apply the same formula to two more back-to-back slices and repeat the entire pattern on the other side.
In the fringe section, leave a horizontal slice parting unfoiled, then apply Formula A to three back-to-back horizontal slice partings. Process this color to level 9 yellow and remove.
Isolate a Âľ-inch wide vertical-diagonal slice at the perimeter. Working in back-to-back vertical diagonal slices, apply Formula B once, Formula C twice, Formula B once, skip a section and then one more slice of Formula B.
Continuing in the same direction, apply Forumla C then Formula B to back-to-back slices. Repeat this pattern on the other side.
In the fringe area, take back-to-back horizontal slices and apply Formula C once, Formula B twice and Formula C three times. Apply Formula D to all remaining hair. Process and remove.
