Take a chevron parting around the head from cheekbone along occipital to cheekbone. Use Formula A to pre-lighten to palest yellow.

Shampoo and condition the hair with Keratin Complex® Blondeshell® Debrass & Brighten Shampoo and Conditioner. Blow-dry. Sub-divide the pre-lightened chevron parting into 3 sections. Apply Formula B on the lower upper third of the chevron. Apply Formula C on the middle third. Apply Formula D on the bottom third.

Use Formula E on the remainder of the hair and process for 35 minutes. To maintain vibrant, long-lasting color that stays true to tone, use Keratin Complex Keratin Color Care or Blondeshell Shampoo and Conditioner.
