In the right interior section use horizontal partings, perpendicular distribution and low projection. Sculpt parallel creating a stationary design line. Work to the top of this section distributing lengths to the stationary design line.

Release a diagonal parting at the right side of the fringe. Use a guide from the right side, perpendicular distribution and low projection. Sculpt parallel to establish a stationary design line.
Air form the hair, then take vertical partings through the interior. Distribute and project the lengths straight out. Notch to blend the front and back lengths while removing excess weight.
Apply a Level 7 copper demi-permanent color in the crown, fringe and side sections. In the exterior section, apply a Level 6 copper brown demi-permanent color. Apply a Level 8 neutral blonde color with 20-volume (6%) developer in the triangle shape. Process, rinse, shampoo and condition.
When worn naturally, the cut and color emphasize the client's curly texture.
