Steal This Teal

HOW-TO STEPS

• 1

  Apply Formula A to the roots, about 1 inch down.

• 2

  Create four zigzag sections in the back of the head, starting in the nape and moving diagonal toward the lower part of the ear. Then continuing in this manner, section in triangles until you reach the top of the head. Divide the front into triangle sections in the same manner, minding the natural part.

  Diagonally color the middle of each “triangle” with Formula C, and the ends with Formula D. To make the application process easier, use a color board, making sure to blend the different colors together. Place foil underneath the sections. Continue coloring in this manner, slice by slice in diagonal sections, working your way up toward the top of the head.
