2. Then, on the top section, paint Formula A on her natural regrowth and Formula B on her previously lightened ends. Place in foil.

 

Note: As she worked her way around the head, Ashlee gradually bumped the developer up from 10-volume to 30-volume in Formula A.

3. On the bottom section of the zigzag parting, apply Formula C to create a lowlight. “The lowlights were double weaved to be brought down at varying levels and tipped out with lightener on the ends,” shares Ashlee.

 

4. Continue Steps 1 through 3 until all of her hair is in foils and let process.

 

5. Rinse, then color melt by applying Formula D to the roots and Formula E from the midlengths to the ends. 

 

6. Let process, then rinse, blow-dry and style as desired.
