HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Since the starting level matched Hotheads Color #8 (Dark Blonde), apply #8, #23 (Beige Blonde), #25 (Pale Yellow) and #613 (Platinum) to create a natural, dimensional balayage.

  Using the Hotheads Application Method, add highlights without lifting my model’s hair color.

• 

  
  3

  Use #23 on bottom and #8 on top to achieve a softer look. Working toward the face, use brighter shades to create a bolder look.

• 

  
  4

  Using your texturizing shears, thin out #8 (or top color) so that the bottom shade appears brighter. For guests looking for bolder highlights, place a blonde on top of another blonde.

  As you approach the temple, use #25 on the bottom and #8 on top. #8 matches the model’s base color, allowing #25 to peek through.

•

  For dimensional, but bold color effects, alternate the blondes used throughout the application.

• 

  
  7

  When application is complete, take a look at the entire head to make sure there are no gaps or separations throughout.

  Once the whole head has been applied, dust the ends of the perimeter to flawlessly blend extensions. Hotheads Extensions are pre-layered, so in most cases you will only need to trim the ends.
