  Pre-lighten hair with Formula A to a Level 10; monitor development. Shampoo, condition and dry hair. Establish background color by applying Formula B from scalp to midlength. Create a horizontal rectangle on front perimeter, 1 inch above hairline, from center of eye to center of eye. Create a diagonal line across the rectangle, establishing two triangles. Apply Formula C to the triangular section, where the smallest corner of the triangle is pointing to the off-center parting line. Utilize an ombre technique, tilting the brush in varying degrees for diffusion. Marry Formula C with Formula B. Take sections horizontally and place painted hair in foils to isolate.

  Working from above the ear to below the occipital bone, create a curved line from ear to ear. From this curved line, create triangles pointing downward, about 1 inch wide and 1.5 inches apart. Apply Formula C to triangular sections in an ombre technique by tilting the brush in varying degrees for diffusion. Marry Formula C with Formula B.

  Create the same shaped section approximately 2 inches above the previous section, at the parietal ridge of the head. Repeat. Apply background color, Formula B, to the midlength of remaining hair. Process hair to background color completion.

  To maintain vibrant, long-lasting color that stays true to tone, use Keratin Complex® Keratin Color Care, Blondeshell® or Timeless Color Shampoo and Conditioner.
