  Shampoo, condition and dry the hair. Then, tone by applying Formula B from roots to ends and process for 3 minutes or until a silver tone is achieved.

   

  Pro Tip: To ensure the “Love Dip” looks as perfect and as graphic as possible, be sure to flat iron the hair first before applying any color.

  Next, divide the hair into four sections, clip the fringe (if she has any) out of the way and lay meche at the hairline to prevent color from bleeding or transferring to the other sections. Then, starting in the back, take a ½-inch horizontal slice and apply Formula C from the scalp to about halfway down the slice, creating a teardrop shadow root.

  Take a 1-inch horizontal slice parting from the back nape area and place a pre-cut 2-inch rectangular meche strip as a guide to create a precise line. Then, apply Formula D to the bottom 2 inches of hair. Be sure to fully saturate the thin section. 

   

  Pro Tip: To prevent Formulas C and D from bleeding together, place another pre-cut meche strip over where Formula D was just applied.

  Next, apply a little more of Formula C directly above where Formula D was just applied. “I use the tip of my brush and carefully apply it in an upward motion to keep my lines straight,” advises Larisa.

   

  Note: Doing this ensures maximum saturation AND that the two colors are applied in a precise color blocking method.

  Move to the side sections and use the same technique that was used in the back, working with thin, horizontal sections from the bottom to the top. Lay a new meche at the top of the section to maintain a clean working area and use a longer meche along the side of the face to keep color off the client’s skin.

  For the fringe, place meche against the hairline, take a horizontal slice parting and apply Formula D to the ends. “Since the hair is shorter here, I only take the color up a ½ inch,” shares Larisa.
