Leave a small space and create a diagonal weave beginning just behind the temporal region. Foils will begin pivoting and staggering. Apply Formula B. Create another diagonal weave and apply Formula B. (Tip: Slightly staggering the foils at the temporal region will help you to avoid a bright spot of color.) Continue working in the same manner, placing a slice and two weaves, all pivoting from the temporal region. Repeat in Section 3.
