  Move up the head to the next section. Note how Amy is taking larger sections and moving quickly through the technique—working on wet hair speeds up application time. Cover each section with plastic wrap.

  As she works farther up the head, Amy pulls Formula B down a bit farther on some sections for more depth in those areas, and on other sections she’ll only pull it down a little bit.

  When application is complete, cover the entire head with plastic wrap. Process until the level of desired lift is achieved. Because Amy used Schwarzkopf Professional IGORA VIBRANCE with IGORA VIBRANCE Activator Gel 1.9% (6-volume) for the root shade, she wasn’t worried about it becoming too dark, so she was able to let the entire head process at the same time.

  At the bowl, apply Formula C. Amy likes to use IGORA VIBRANCE with a bowl and brush for root melting, but applies toners at the bowl using a bottle application. The product is versatile and can be used both ways.

   

  Note: Amy prefers to apply IGORA VIBRANCE with a brush because she can get a more precise application at the root, versus using a bottle at the bowl.
