Show Steps

Starting at the back two sections, apply Formula A in a heavy balayage. Continue to balayage, moving up to the middle section and add a Velcro roller underneath.

 

Pro Tip: The rollers give you the ability to create thicker sections with even saturation without the lightener bleeding through to the next section, so you can work faster behind the chair.
