FORMULAS & APPLICATION:
Natural level 7
Formula 1: 50 g Lakme haircolor, Kblonde decolorizer with 70 g Hydrox 20-volume developer
Formula 2: 20 g 10/22 ammonia-free, demipermanent color + 20 g 0/00 with 80 g 6-volume Developing Emulsion
Formula 3: 15 g 4/00 + 5 g 5/60 with 40 g 6-volume Developing Emulsion
1. Beginning at the highest point of the head, take diagonal partings from the crown to the front hairline, to create a natural pivot in the foiling pattern. Using Formula 1, foil two back-to back slices, alternating them with a natural section. Do not work past the occipital bone. Process 30 minutes or until you reach the pale yellow stage, then rinse.
2. Apply Formula 2 to all of the hair and process 10 minutes. Then rinse and towel dry until 80-percent dry.
3. Choose three to five focal points on the head and lightly backcomb the sections, creating a cushion from the root to the midshaft. Using Formula 3 on your color-dipped fingers, start at the ends and work the color up to the midshaft for a wet-to-dry application. Use cotton to separate sections. The hair should be darkest on the ends and gradually feather up the hair shaft. Process 20 minutes, then rinse. Less is more; avoid darkening too many sections.
