Steps

- Apply Formula C to create a soft, lived-in base that blends the blonde into the natural regrowth area.
- Use Formula D to connect the root shadow and blonde ends, keeping the transition diffused instead of stripey.
- Refine with a wet balayage technique using Formula F to brighten targeted ends and face-framing pieces. Rinse.
- Finish with Formula E to tone the blonde into a soft vanilla-beige finish while keeping brightness around the face.
