FORMULA STEPS

1. Prelighten the ends with Formula A in back-to-back slices to achieve maximum levels of lift. Stop the application of Formula A three inches away from the root. Process until a pale Level 9-10 is achieved. Rinse hair and blow-dry.

2. Next, use Formula B to create the shadow root. Apply in very fine sections. (Note: Always apply the color up and away to ensure proper saturation and diffusion without getting color on those just lifted blonde ends!) Use the Redken Blur Brush to prevent harsh lines.

3. Process for 45 minutes without heat.

4. After the color has processed, rinse, and at the sink, pre-tone the ends with Formula C for five minutes.

5. Rinse and blow-dry. Use Formula D for those beautiful silver ends and process for 20 minutes. Use Olaplex Step 2 to rinse out color. Finish the color processes with a Redken Color Extend Chemisty Shot. This will lock in color and to stop any further oxidation.
