HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1
• 

  
  2

  Create a horseshoe-shaped parting ear to ear. Lift a ¼-inch vertical section at the top and create the guide.

• 

  
  3

  Using the original guide, continue cutting ¼-inch vertical sections to the ear on each side. Over-direct several of the final side parting to maintain length.

• 

  
  4

  Dry hair with a Denman brush and cut a slightly curved fringe.

• 

  
  5

  Elevate subsections to create a solid, beveled line.

• 

  
  6

  Remove excess weight and refine the perimeter by elevating loose partings with the hands and cutting freehand.

• 

  
  7

  Color Formula A:
  VeroLight + 10-Volume (3%) Veroxide (gold foil)

  Color Formula B:
  Vero K-Pak Color 9B + 10-Volume (3%) Veroxide (purple foil)

  Color Formula C:
  Vero K-PAK Color ½ 8G + ½ 8RG with 10-Volume (3%) (copper foil)

  Color Formula D:
  Vero K-Pak Color ½ 5N + ½ 5A with 10-Volume (3%) Veroxide

  8

  Isolate a ¾-inch vertical-diagonal slice at the perimeter. Create an adjacent vertical-diagonal slice and apply Formula A from ?-inch off of the scalp to ends and secure with foil.
  

• 

  
  9

  Apply Formula A to two more back-to-back slices, skip the next slice and apply Formula A to the next slice.

• 

  
  10

  Apply the same formula to two more back-to-back slices and repeat the entire pattern on the other side.

• 

  
  11

  In the fringe section, leave a horizontal slice parting unfoiled, then apply Formula A to three back-to-back horizontal slice partings. Process this color to level 9 yellow and remove.

• 

  
  12

  Isolate a ¾-inch wide vertical-diagonal slice at the perimeter. Working in back-to-back vertical diagonal slices, apply Formula B once, Formula C twice, Formula B once, skip a section and then one more slice of Formula B.

• 

  
  13

  Continuing in the same direction, apply Forumla C then Formula B to back-to-back slices. Repeat this pattern on the other side.

• 

  
  14

  In the fringe area, take back-to-back horizontal slices and apply Formula C once, Formula B twice and Formula C three times. Apply Formula D to all remaining hair. Process and remove.
