HOW-TO STEPS

  • 1

    Create face-framing highlights by applying Formula A, then process until she lifts to the desired level of lightness.

  • 2

    Rinse and shampoo with L’Oréal LUO Post-Color Shampoo, then towel-dry or rough-dry the hair. 

  • 3

    Apply Formula B on the highlighted hair and process for up to 30 minutes, then rinse. 

  • 4

    On towel-dried hair, apply 4 to 8 pumps of L’Oréal Smartbond Step 2 Pre Shampoo from the regrowth to the ends. Process for 10 minutes, then rinse the hair thoroughly. If you want to do a treatment, Matthew recommends using L’Oréal Serie Expert Powermix Color.
