STEPS

4: Starting on the left side, use deep diagonal back partings and apply Formula 1. 

5: Repeat on the opposite side.

6: On the top section, use parting as a guide to create two subsections. Use deep diagonal back sections, pivoting off the first placement.

7: Process up to 50 minutes with no heat.

8: Shampoo twice with Keune After Color Shampoo.

9: Apply Formula 2 onto roots and melt into Formula 3. Process for 20 minutes.
