STEP 1: Apply Goldwell Topchic 40ml 20vol 40ml 5K at root only.
STEP 2: Work in four sections of the head. Tease small diagonal back-sections from front to back in order to melt ombre together. Backcomb each section and then weave with a micro-weave so you diffuse rather than make it overly dramatic. Paint top/crown hair with a board and cotton to specifically pick out hair strands to pop/accent. Also using Goldwell Silk Lift and 30vol.
STEP 3: Run base color through hair that is left out of the foil through to ends (Goldwell Topchic 5K 20vol).
STEP 4: Rinse and follow with Goldwell Colorance Core Lotion 80ml Lotion 20ml 7KG 20ml 8K for 20 minutes.
Pro tip: "If you haven't already, now is the time to create fall color Pinterest boards; you can use them as your look book," says Patrick McIvor, artistic & techniculture director for Goldwell and KMS California. "Showing guests of images of colors you are confident about creating sets you up for success."
