Step 1. "I took 6 triangular sections- 1 on the top of the head, 1 on the back and 2 on each side.

"I divided the top and back sections into 2 subsections. In each triangle and subsection, I took diagonal slices, back- combed and applied Formula A, leaving 1/2 inch in between each slice. Process time 15 minutes."

Step 2. "After shampooing & conditioning with Aveda's Dry Remedy line, I applied Formula B throughout her hair.

"Process time 20 minutes. After rinsing I sealed the color in with Aveda's Color Phinish Post Color Conditioner."
