    Once you reach the top where the chunky highlights are, alternate between weaving and backcomb balayage to continue applying Formula A. Then, switch to Formula B when you reach the front sections.

     

    Note: As you work your way around the head, make sure to remove foils from any previously lightened sections when they reach the desired lift.
