1

Create horizontal sections and place a small Flamboyage Meche Strip close to the ends of the hair to secure the section. Place a long Flamboyage Meche Strip on the surface of the section, press lightly and then gently lift the Flamboyage Meche Strip to separate the hair. Turn the Flamboyage Meche Strips over and apply Formula A from midlengths to ends, diffusing the product gently toward the regrowth area to avoid creating harsh lines.
