Divide the head into standard quadrants (ear to ear and front to nape).

The 2 sections on either side create panels 2 and 3.

-

On panels 2 and 3, work vertically up to the center top part and apply fine-weave highlights using formula 1. These highlights should be placed 1/4″ back from the front hairline.

On panel 4, work on a diagonal and apply fine-weave highlights using formula 1. These highlights should be placed 1/4″ back from the front hairline. Isolate each section with foil.
Process the hair to the desired level of lift (e.g., yellow), shampoo and blow-dry. Apply formula 2 throughout the head, new growth to ends. Process the hair according to directions. Rinse the hair thoroughly with comfortably hot water to remove the color. Shampoo with color conserve™ shampoo. Apply color conserve™ pHinish™ and rinse again with cool water. Towel-dry the hair well to prepare it for the botanical therapy hair treatment.
