Formula D: Color Calypso Demi-Permanent Gloss Clear + Gloss Activator (mixing ratio 1:1)
HIGHLIGHTS:
Step 1: SECTIONS: Create 6 sections. Begin by separating the front with an ear-to-ear radial parting, then divide the front section in half. Create 3 large sections around the head. For the top section, take a parting from the high point of the parietal ridge to the low crown. For the middle section, take a parting from the low crown to the ears and below occipital, then sub-divide horizontal in half. Leave out the nape just under occipital bone.
Step 1: BACK: In the bottom section, take 3 diffused slices along the hairline
Step 3: Work up the head horizontally. Take 2 back-to-back horizontal teasylights across the section, then 1 diffused slices above. Tip out the hair between foils. Repeat this pattern of 2 teasylights and 1 diffused slice with until you reach the top section.
Step 4: TOP: In the top section, take horizontal subsections and alternate teasylights and tip-outs until you reach the top of the crown.
Before starting the sides, section out the fringe by creating a triangle from the browbone to the top of the head.
Step 5: SIDES: Begin with a diagonal back section that is parallel to the hairline, tease to diffused a slice at the hairline. Alternate with a teasylight and tip-outs in between.
When you reach the parietal ridge from the high point of your diagonal back subsection, leave depth by making a tip-out with diffusion starting lower. Then pivot to horizontal and continue the pattern to the top of the head.
Step 6: FRINGE: For the fringe, create 2 back-to-back horizontal teasylights parallel to the hairline, then tip out, followed by 1 very fine diffused slice, beginning the diffusion close to the scalp to give maximum impact.
Process until the desired lift is achieved; do not exceed 50 minutes. Rinse. Follow with Moroccanoil Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner.
Step 7: ROOT MELT: Start at the bottom of the nape and work up the head, creating a zigzag pattern to isolate the hairline to maintain bright pops of color.
Using Formula B, apply root tap, blend babylights, and add dimension. Feather in Formula C and brush through to melt the colors. Apply Formula D on the ends.
Process for 20 minutes. Rinse. Follow with Moroccanoil Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner.
This haircut is perfect for clients who need to maximize their time. The “less is more” approach creates subtle movement and longevity, starting with a fringy face frame that will grow out into long layers.
Step by Step:
Step 1 – Sectioning: Create 4 sections: three horseshoe sections with the middle section divided in half. For the top horseshoe section, take a parting around the parietal ridge. For the bottom horseshoe section, take a parting across the occipital bone above the nape. Divide the middle section in half.
Step 2: Cut the perimeter with a razor using no elevation. Hold the razor so the blade enters diagonally and cuts the ends in C-shape motions, alternating direction to create movement.
Step 3: Working up the head, subsection vertical panels, cutting at 45 degrees in a C-shape motion; alternating over directions.
Step 4: Drop down top section, it must cover section below by 2 mm.
Step 5: Create a triangle fringe section, from the end of the browbone to the top of the head, then divide it in half. Overdirect one half across opposite eye. Use razor to cut at the chin, cheekbone, or browbone to create a flattering frame.
