HOW-TO STEPS

  Next, apply Formula B through the remainder of the hair and process until she reaches a Level 9. Rinse throughly, shampoo and condition.

  Dry the hair completely. Then, starting from underneath the nape area, section randomly and alternate applying Formulas D, E and F. “We used Formulas D and E sparingly with the dominate color being Formula F,” shares Michael and Melody. “This technique leaves the required negative space in order for the finished result to acquire the metallic, holographic and opal qualities.”

  Continue until application is complete and process for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Then, apply Olaplex No.2 and process for 20 minutes.
