FORMULA STEPS
1. Start by painting babylights throughout the entire head using Formula A. Process for 2 hours.
2. Then, take back-to-back weaved slices and paint Formula B. Be sure to leave out a sliver of hair in between each foiled slice. Process for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse, then pre-tone with a mix of Oligo Professionnel Blacklight Anti-Yellow Violet Shampoo and Blacklight Blue Shampoo to remove any unwanted yellow tones. Rinse again.
4. Tone by applying Formula C from the roots to the midlengths, then process for 20 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, pull Formula C through the ends.
5. Rinse, then apply Olaplex No.2 and wash with Matrix Biolage COLORLAST Shampoo and Conditioner.
6. For the style, prep with Design.ME PowerDry.ME and Monte Rio Hair & Body Oil. Then, dry the hair using the Olivia Garden NanoThermic® Ceramic + Ion™ Round Brush.
7. Curl the hair using a 2-inch BaByliss Pro curling iron, then spray some Sexy Hair Hot Sexy Hair Protect Me Hot Tool Protection Hairspray.
8. Finish the style by applying Design.ME Puff.ME at the roots, spraying Sexy Hair Smooth Sexy Hair Smooth & Seal Anti-Frizz & Shine Spray for all-over shine and Pureology Colour Stylist Anti Breakage Twist Shine Texturizer for definition.
