STEP 1: Apply the decolorizer to a front curved section, using horizontal micro slices and leaving natural hair in-between. Process 30 minutes. Rinse, shampoo, condition and blow dry.
STEP 2: For section 1, take a concave, curved section from recession to recession. Then take a second concave, curved section that is 1 inch in depth behind section 1. Follow with a third concave, curved section that’s similarly placed.
STEP 3: Apply Formula 1 to all hair not sectioned. Apply Formula 2 from scalp to ends within the third, utilizing a back-to-back foil method. Then apply Formula 1 to the second in the same manner.
STEP 4: In section 1, take a diagonal-back slice and apply Formula 2. Next, take a paper-thin, diagonal slice and weave it to create separation. Apply Formula 4 to the low of the weave and Formula 3 to the high of the weave. Then take another diagonal back slice and apply Formula 1. Repeat this rotation (slice/weave/low/ weave/high/ slice), working along a diagonal-back pivot and utilizing all four formulas. Process for 30 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition.
