HOW-TO STEPS
-
1Prelighten the hair using Formulas A, B and C depending on where you are working on the head. Pre-tone with Formula D, processing for 5 to 20 minutes until desired outcome is achieved.
-
2Begin by parting the hair into three sections: two on either side of the center part from the back of the ear forward, and one section in the back. Apply Formula E at the root in a teardrop shape.
-
3Continue to apply the shadow root in the back section, bringing the color down about 3 to 4 inches.
-
4After the shadow root is applied in the back section, take the entire back section and part it with a large zigzag parting from ear to ear. Then, take a fine weave from the zigzag and clip it out of the way.
-
5On the bottom section, melt in Formula F, using your fingers in a scissor motion to blend the colors together.
-
6Take the weaved-out section and melt Formula G in through the Formula E. This is the accent section. Apply meche between colors so they don’t bleed.
Pro Tip: Combing is important to make sure color is saturated.
-
7Repeat the process, using Formula H instead of Formula G as the accent color. Continue up the back, alternating Formulas G and F as the accent color on the small weaved-out sections.
-
8Move to the right front section. Apply the shadow root with Formula E, keeping the teardrop shape in mind and bringing color about 1 ½-2 inches from scalp. Take a diagonal-forward slice from the temple to the top of the crown. Weave a section from the slice, with the weave thicker in the front and thinner toward the back. Clip the weave section of the way.
Pro Tip: Keeping the weave thicker in front and thinner toward the back gives a money piece in the front for a pop and helps blend with the back section.
-
9Melt Formula F into the shadow root on bottom section.
-
10Use Formula H on the smaller weave section. Repeat up the head, alternating the accent section colors.
-
11Repeat the entire process on the other side.
-
12Process for 25 min, shampoo with Joico Co+Wash Color Whipped Cleansing Conditioner.
-
13Finished look.
