Then create two side sections that start below the crown and move to behind the ear. Divide the back in half vertically to create the last two sections.
2. Take a horizontal slice at the front hairline of the top rectangular section. Direct hair toward the face. Use Formula 1 to paint this section, with a V-shaped application. Use a transparent foil, and saturate the length and ends. Cover to protect.
3. Weave out the next horizontal parting. Overdirect the hair toward the face. Apply Formula 2 from scalp to ends and seal in a foil packet.
4. Using Formula 3, balayage the next parting. Saturate the lengths and ends, sweeping the color toward the scalp.
