FORMULA STEPS
1. On wet hair, cut a piecey but blunt outline leaving her hair about ¼ of an inch longer in the front. Then, blow-dry and alternate between backcombing the ends with your scissors and slide-cutting to create a textured, undone bob.
2. Next, paint babylights around the hairline with Formula A, keeping everything slightly rooted with a feathering effect for a faded blend. Then, create a Mohawk section, tease and weave thick slices along her parting.
3. Using Formula B, paint medium-sized singular panels with heavy saturation on the ends where she needs lightening. Leave as much depth as possible to create a bright pop of color, then process in open air with no heat for 30 minutes.
4. Shampoo and towel-dry, then apply Formula C to the roots only. Leave the hairline out, but continuously comb to create an even blend. Process for 15 minutes, paint the hairline in the last 5 minutes, then rinse.
5 Apply Formula D from the roots to the ends, and process for 10 minutes. Then, follow up with Olaplex No.2.
6. For the style, prep hair with Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray and J Beverly Hills Platinum Revive Coconut Oil.
7. Blow-dry, then bend the ends to enhance the texture with a BaByliss Pro 1-inch curling iron. Finish the style with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and Design.ME Puff.ME for an undone look.
