FORMULA STEPS

1. Start by applying Formula A to paint a face-framing balayage using a freehand technique. To speed up processing, Glayda uses paper to insulate the side and back sections.

 

2. Process until desired lift is achieved, then rinse. Apply Formula B to tone the root area.

 

3. Then, apply Formula C from the mids to the ends, process and rinse.

 

4. Style as desired. Gladya styled bouncy waves directing back and away from the face to accentuate the heavy contrast around the hairline.
