1. Create a horseshoe section that separates the top and crown from the sides and back.Then section o a 1-inch horizontal parting in front to isolate the fringe from the remainder of the horseshoe section.
2. Apply Formula 1 to the fringe and all the hair outside of the horseshoe section.
3. Inside of the horseshoe section, beginning in the front, take 1-inch diagonal back sections. In a foil, apply Formula 1 to the base, then blur Formula 2 to the mid-shafts, creating a shine line for 1 to 2 inches. Then fi nish blurring the ends with Formula 1 to create a soft illusion of refl ective light. As you work through the horseshoe, alternate the placement of the formulas throughout, fi rst using Formula 1 at the base and ends and Formula 2 at the midshaft, then reversing placement. When the entire top is completed, process 30 minutes.
