Sectioning: Create a horseshoe-shaped section in the top/crown region and clip for control. This is Section 3. Then take a parting from the top of the head to behind the ear on both sides, secure these as sections 1 and 2. All remaining hair will be section 4.
Application: Beginning in section 1, take a 1/8-inch diagonal slice at the front hairline, and place on foil. Apply Formula A from midlengths to ends with a side-brushing technique and diffusing the color toward the scalp. Leave about 1 to 2 inches at the scalp to create depth.

Leave a 1⁄4 inch between foils and take another diagonal slice. Then, apply Formula B from midlengths to ends with a side-brushing technique and diffusing the color toward the scalp. Leave about 1-2 inches at the scalp for depth. Continue alternating Formulas A and B in this manner until the section is complete.
