STEPS
Before
Starting on the heavier side and working toward the fringe area and side parting, take a diagonal zigzag parting of hair that will overhang.
Picking up the points of the zigzag, apply Formula A approximately 2 ½ inches from the scalp area and feather out through the midshafts and ends.
Take a second back-to-back slice parting and apply Formula A in the same manner as before.
Pivoting and leaving a slight hairline of perimeter color, take an additional three diagonal back-to-back slice partings for a total of five foils.
Pivoting and leaving a slight stepping-back from the hairline, take a triangular section and clip it away. Working just above the ear, take a horizontal/diagonal slice parting and apply Formula A in the same manner as before (feathering approximately 2 ½ inches from the scalp area to the midshafts and ends) for a total of four back-to-back slice partings.
Proceed to the opposite side. Take a zigzag overhang and clip it away. Picking up the points of the zigzag, take a diagonal/horizontal slice parting and apply Formula A in the same manner.
Continue for a total of four back-to-back slice partings.
Take a triangle section of hair, stepping back to above the ear area. Take diagonal slice partings with Formula A (feathering approximately 2 ½ inches from the scalp area to the midshafts and ends) for a total of four foils.
Proceed to the back section. Take a section of hair just below the crown and clip it away. Take a horizontal slice parting and apply Formula A for a total of four foils.
Completed foiling procedure. Lift to a Level 9 yellow, rinse, shampoo with K-PAK Shampoo and rinse again. Apply K-PAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor for 5 minutes, rinse and dry the hair.

Take a second slice parting with Formula B. Take a slice parting with Formula C. Then take a weave parting with Formula C and a weave parting with Formula D.
