TECHNIQUE:

Step 1: For a spectacular grafitti effect, color Quikkies with a semi-permanent toner from Wella Professionals.

Step 2 + 3: For volume on top of the head and compact bangs, attach a Tophair according to the instructions provided by Hairdreams. Attach individual Quikkies in the crown area—this is how you make the unique color effect pop.

Step 4 + 5 (The Cut): Determine the base line and length with point-cut technique—consider the concave cutting line. For optimal transitions use slice-cut.
