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.

Part the hair down the middle. Starting in the back, take a large horizontal section and weave a large part out. Apply Formula D to the bottom and the base, but apply Formula C to the weaved out section. Continue this step on both sides of the head.

 

Note: Make sure you lay Formula C's pieces on one side and Formula D's pieces on another so they criss cross.
