HOW-TO STEPS
-
1Before
-
2Start by creating a center part, then section the hair from the top of the crown to the top of the ears on both sides.
-
3Starting in the back and directly above the ears, create a horseshoe-shaped subsection across the occipital bone. Then take a center-back parting from the horseshoe through the nape.
-
4Starting at the bottom section, take a horizontal weave and apply Formula A, leaving behind a fine veil of natural hair at the hairline for a natural-looking, softer effect. Then apply Formula A starting 1 inch from the scalp through the ends.
-
5Leaving out a fine veil of natural hair, take another weave and apply Formula A.
-
6Continue this pattern up the back of the head until you reach the horseshoe section, then move to the opposite side and repeat.
-
7At the horseshoe section, start applying Formula A in a bricklay pattern.
-
8Continue taking fine weaves and applying Formula A until you reach just beneath the crown.
-
9Then, switch to a foilayage technique on the ends to add dimension and brightness. Working section by section, take the ends left out of foils in smaller subsections. Lightly backcomb the hair, apply Formula B from mids to ends by feathering the lightener to create a gradual shift of brightness.
Pro Tip: “For better control, don’t fight gravity,” Denis recommends. “Clip the hair left out and work from the bottom toward the top.”
-
10Completed foilayage.
-
11Then, move to the top section of the horseshoe. Continue taking fine weaves and applying Formula A from scalp to ends in a bricklay pattern.
-
12Continue this pattern until the entire back crown section is complete.
-
13After the horseshoe section is complete, foilayage the ends using the same technique in Step 9.
Pro Tip: Determine foilayage sections by identifying where you want to see the most brightness.
-
14Then, move to the front section. Leaving a fine veil of natural hair at the hairline, take a fine weave and apply Formula A from scalp to ends.
-
15Continue this pattern applying Formula A and working up toward the parietal ridge.
-
16Repeat on the opposite side.
-
17Then, foilayage the ends by applying Formula B. Continue teasing the sections of hair left out of the foils, and feathering the lightener from mids to ends.
-
18Repeat on the opposite side.
-
19Then, working in the center-top section, take a horizontal weave and apply Formula A from scalp to ends.
-
20Leaving a fine veil of hair between each section, continue taking fine weaves and applying Formula A from scalp to ends throughout the entire top section.
-
21Using the foilayage technique, add dimension and brightness to the ends left out between foils.
-
22Process for 30 to 35 minutes, rinse thoroughly and shampoo with Joico Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo. At the bowl, apply Formula C all over using an applicator bottle and process for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse. Shampoo and condition with Joico Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner.
Pro Tip: Denis always ends color appointments with K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Instant Shine & Repair Treatment for 5 minutes, then rinsing to lock in healthy haircolor.
-
23Spray Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Multi-Perfector all over for gloss and color protection, blow-dry and style as desired.
