Foil + Freehand Balayage

HOW-TO STEPS

• 1

  Highlight in the front with Formula A using foils and a small weave, paying close attention to the hairline and parting. Then, hand-paint the hair between the foils with Formula B using a gentle application with lots of dry brushing to create a soft blend.  

• 2

  Hand-paint Formula B in the back, starting with heavy saturation to create pops of color, then switch to lighter saturation toward the top of the head to keep the color soft.

• 3

  Wrap each section in balayage wrap and process for 30 minutes with no heat, then rinse.

• 4

  Apply L’Orèal Professionnel SMARTBOND Protocol Step 2 and process for 10 minutes. Then, rinse and towel-dry the hair.
