STEPS
Free hand-paint a full balayage on her entire head using Formula A and process for 35 minutes.
At the bowl, use the remainder of Formula A to “bowl-ayage” the ends and process for 15 minutes.
Rinse and pre-tone with Fanola No Yellow Shampoo.
Take her back to the chair, rough-dry and apply Formula B about 2 inches down to apply a subtle shadow root, leaving the face-framing pieces out.
Next, create contrasting warm tones by using Formula C as a lowlight in foils. On the remaining hair, apply Formula D. Process for 30 minutes, then rinse.
Apply Formula E and finish with another round of Fanola No Yellow Shampoo.
