Rinse, then shampoo with Fanola No Yellow Shampoo and light conditioner. Towel-dry.

Next, apply Formula C for 2 minutes to cut any yellow left from lifting. Then rinse well, use light shampoo and towel-dry.

5

Apply Formula D at the base about 1-inch down and Formula E from the midlengths to the ends. Blur the root into the midshaft by massaging with your fingers to make a seamless transition. Process for 25 minutes.

Rinse well and lightly shampoo with Fanola No Yellow Shampoo, then condition with Joico K-PAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor. Towel dry, then micro-trim.

For the style, apply Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray and Joico K-PAK Restorative Oil, then blow-dry. Spray Kenra Platinum Hot Spray and curl large sections with a 2-inch barrel. Brush through the hair and finish by applying K-PAK Restorative Oil on the ends only.
