HOW-TO: Smoky Peach Pastel

Smoky Peach Pastel

Before: Prelighten with Z.One Decologic Lightening System

Step 1: Divide the hair into quadrants below the crown, separating diagonal sections front left and right. Isolate each section. Then separate one quarter of the back at the nape and isolate.

Step 2: Beginning in the left rear section apply Formula 1 roots through mid-lengths on the first subsection.

Step 3: Apply Formula 2 mid-lengths to ends on the same subsection. Use Soft Stripes to isolate each section.

Step 4: Leave out a fine section of hair between the previous and the next sections and apply Formula 3 roots through midlengths.

Step 5: Apply Formula 4 to midlengths through ends. Use Soft Stripes to isolate and protect the hair. Continue alternating subsections until the left rear sections are complete.

Step 6: Repeat the previous steps on the front left section. Work to top of the section, alternating the formulas as before, remembering to leave out a fine section of hair in between each subsection.

Step 7: Complete all remaining sections as before. Process up to 20 minutes, rinse and cleanse with Milk Shake Color Specifics Color Sealing Shampoo.
