  2

  Begin work on prelightened hair.

• 

  
  3

  Create a circular section at the nape. Divide the rest of the hair into three panels—sides and top as shown.

• 

  
  4

  Apply Formula A to the circular nape section, smudging the formula into the hair with your thumb and forefinger.

• 

  
  5

  Complete section.

• 

  
  6

  Release a “sunbeam” subsection adjacent to the previous. Apply Formula A to the root area.

• 

  
  7

  Work Formula B into the midlengths and ends, using the smudging technique. Create another subsection and apply Formula A at the base and Formula C through the midlengths and ends.

• 

  
  8

  Work throughout each section in this manner, applying Formula A at the base and alternating Formulas B and C on the midlengths and ends of each “sunbeam.”

• 

  
  9

  Complete the application. Process, rinse, shampoo and condition the hair.

  11

  Apply mousse or texturizing spray to damp hair and blow-dry with a round brush. Isolate a triangular section that extends from the back of each ear to the crest of the nape and secure.

• 

  
  12

  Divide the hair from ear to ear across the top of the head and secure a second ponytail above the first.

• 

  
  13

  Braid the top ponytail and secure with elastic at the end.

• 

  
  14

  Pancake the braid for a thicker shape.

• 

  
  15

  Wind the braid around the elastic and secure with pins.

• 

  
  16

  Subdivide the front section and wind each subsection away from the face around a 1-inch curling iron.

• 

  
  17

  Gently brush through the curls and create an s-formation in the waves at the points where the hair dips. Set the waves with duck bill clips.

• 

  
  18

  Twist the lengths of the curled sections on each side, drape them into the bun and secure with pins.
  

• 

  
  19

  Braid the bottom ponytail and pancake the braid.

• 

  
  20

  Begin winding the braid around the outside of the existing braided bun; then secure the ends into the bun with a pin. Mist with firm-hold hairspray.
