GET THE LOOK: Whisper & Shout

STEP 1: Find the client's natural part. Create 4 petal-shaped sections.

STEP 2: For a "shout" of color, section over the part. For a "whisper," place on opposite side of part.

STEP 3: Working inside of the petal-shaped sections, take a slice and apply formula using side-brushing technique from slightly off scalp to ends. Process accordingly.
