Sectioning
Create a trapezium section extending from the shorter side of the haircut from the corner of the eye through the crown. The longer side will sit just above the temple area.

Isolate the top section. Apply Formula A to the bottom section, scalp to ends.

Complete the bottom section application as shown.

Release a subsection along the parting of the top section and place it on foil. Apply Formula A from regrowth, 3 to 4 inches along the midshaft. Apply Formula B to the remaining midlengths and ends. Feather the formulas to blend.

Secure top section with foil to isolate top section. Continue working up the head in this manner until you reach the top center of the head.

Proceed to the shorter side. Here, apply Formula A 2 inches from the regrowth, and apply Formula B to remaining strands.

Apply Formula A scalp to ends on the final fringe section as shown.

Process 45 minutes and remove.
