Quiet Luxury Hair: The Expensive Hair Trend Explained

STEPS

Before

Break the base with Formula A on the regrowth for 10 minutes to blur the line of demarcation and create a soft, light canvas. Rinse, then blow-dry. Starting at the front hairline, take a vertical weave parting and apply Formula B.

Take a second vertical weave parting and apply Formula C. Continue taking weave partings, alternating Formulas B and C. Leave the ends out for a more natural, sunny blonde.

Work upward along the hairline, gradually pivoting weave partings so the final parting is parallel with the center part.

Lay foils in a bricklay pattern. Remember to include the hairline and the hair over the ear. To prevent bleeding, triple-fold foils lengthwise and fold over the top of the foil-holding weave section.

Repeat the process on the opposite side.

Take a diagonal parting that extends from behind the ear to the back corner hairline and weave Formula B.

Repeat the diagonal parting on the opposite side and part across the back (at the hairline), leaving a slice of natural hair. Take a weave parting just above the natural hair with Formula B.

Note: The horizontal parting should connect the two diagonal partings from the previous step.

Continue working up from the center nape, leaving about 1 inch of natural hair. Take a weave parting with Formula B. Clip that parting up, then take a weave parting from the natural hair beneath and apply Formula D. Continue alternating Formulas B and D until you reach the occipital bone.

Once you’ve reached the occipital bone, begin working upward, alternating Formulas B and C as you pick up weave sections. Foil sections in a bricklay pattern until you reach the top back.

Process color, then shampoo with Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo. Rinse, apply K-PAK Cuticle Sealer, wait 5 minutes, then rinse hair again.

Apply Formula E to the entire head and process at room temperature for 15 minutes. Rinse, then shampoo again with Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo. Apply the Blonde Life Brightening Masque for 2 to 5 minutes, then rinse and style.
