    Highlight Formula: 20mls 11G + 40mls 40-volume developer

    ”I placed the highlights in a brick diagonal pattern through her side part,” says Marie. “If she parts her hair where her highlights are, they’ll pop out and melt into her color. And if she parts her hair on the other side, the highlights fade and her hair has dimensional movement underneath as her hair moves.”
