6Begin with the largest section in the back. Paint on Formula D starting at the roots and working your way to the ends. Completely saturate the hair. When you finish saturating the section, braid it to keep the hair out of the way.

7Apply Formula E to either side of the first section. Alternate between Formulas D and E until you reach the front.
Pro Tip: It’s really important to move other sections completely out of the way so that the sections don’t bleed. Hold the hair up as you braid to keep the color from touching the skin.

16When you’re done, the section with Formula F should resemble a teardrop shape. The result is multidimensional, yet will still melt and flow together. Process for 20 minutes without heat. Shampoo and condition with K-PAK Color Therapy, then style hair as desired. For color that lasts up to three times longer, send your client home with Color CO+Wash Whipped Cleansing Conditioner.
