Model’s hair: Natural Level 3.

STEP 1:
A. Create vertical triangle partings, alternating the direction of points from top to bottom around head form. Leave out hair below occipital.
B. Next, create texture and dimension. On points facing up, slice partings in half vertically. Prelighten one half to Orange contributing pigment with Basic White Powder Lightener mixed with 10-volume developer. Prelighten the other half to Dark Red-Orange. When degrees of lightening have been achieved, remove lightener from each section with a damp cloth.

STEP 2:
A. While lightener is processing, comb Basic White mixed with 10-volume developer through fringe for 5 minutes to break-up texture.
B. Mix Formula 1: 2 oz. Premium Crème 3RR mixed with 2 oz. 20-volume Premium Crème Developer. Apply to all free hair. Process 30 minutes. Shampoo, condition and towel dry.

STEP 3:
Mix Overlay Formula: 2 oz. Premium Crème 4RR mixed with 2 oz. 10-volume Premium Crème Developer. Apply to entire head. Process 15 minutes.
