  2

  Create an irregular triangle shaped section, incorporating the crown area and natural partings.

• 

  
  3

  At the side area create a teardrop shape working from the top crown area to behind the ear. Repeat on the opposite side.

• 

  
  4

  Working on the opposite side start two inches back from the front and create a zig-zag parting, working diagonally forwards to meet the recession. Put on protective gloves.

• 

  
  5

  From mid-crown take a profile parting and begin to apply Formula 1. Continue the application taking vertical sections and working towards the ears. Repeat this process on the opposite side.

• 

  
  6

  Continue with Formula 1 and apply to the mid-lengths and ends working upwards to the crown.

• 

  
  7

  Apply Formula 1 to the top section. Lay the hair onto a TIGI copyright©olour meche strip and apply Formula 1 to the mid-lengths and ends.

• 

  
  8

  Release the tear drop section, and take one diagonal back section and one diagonal forward section to create a V shape at the ear. Start with the slice behind the ear.

• 

  
  9

  Apply Formula 1 to the first two inches of hair starting at the scalp. Next apply Formula 2 to the mid-lengths and ends and smudge into the previous colour to create a seamless blend.

• 

  
  10

  On the second slice apply Formula 1 from the hair at the scalp to the ends, using TIGI copyright©olour meche strips to isolate each section. Continue taking slices in the same way, however alternating the colours at the mid-lengths and ends.

• 

  
  11

  Work with the same technique on the opposite side of the head. Bend the TIGI copyright©olour meche strips away from the face and secure gently with a TIGI pro sectioning clip. (Note that where single slices are used the section will become smaller.)

• 

  
  12

  Separate the remaining two frontal sections with a zig-zag parting. Block colour the first section using Formula 1 from the scalp through to the ends. Use a TIGI copyright©olour.

• 

  
  13

  Block colour the second section using Formula 2.

• 

  
  14

  Process the colour for up to 20 minutes before gently shampooing and conditioning the hair with the appropriate Bed Head by TIGI shampoo and conditioner.
