How-To

1. Start by painting back-to-back babylights on the sides along the hairline using Formula A.

2. Next, continue using Formula A and add two back-to-back babylights on the top section plus a third teasy-light foil directly behind to create a strong money piece.

3. Process for about 20 minutes or until the babylights reach a pale yellow tone.

4. Rinse, then apply Formula B to damp hair to create the shadow root. Process for 10 minutes. “Because her color was so rich at the root with bright blonde and natural hues throughout, we decided against using a toner,” shares Ryan.
