Begin by applying Formula A at the base, painting down about three inches from the scalp. Once the roots are saturated, angle your color brush to paint on a slight diagonal. This creates a dimensional base to blend the other formulas into!

Pro Tip: To maintain brightness through the face-frame sections, only apply Formula A one inch from the scalp. This will not only create a natural-looking gradient through the rest of the hair but make the front most pieces pop against the other shades.

Next, apply Formula B down the hair shaft and all the way through the ends. Be sure to saturate each strand to avoid any splotches.

Here's where the magic happens! Moving back toward the root, apply Formula C one inch from where Formula A was first applied. Using your fingers, blend Formula C into Formula A and B, creating a seamless color gradient.

For the finishing touch, pick strands throughout the head to create lowlights. Using a color board, paint Formula A through the mids and ends on these strands for extra pops of dimension. Process for 30 minutes at room temperature.
