Sections

Divide the hair into 8 sections.

Create an ear-to-ear radial parting. Then make a parting from high recession to high recession and section this out. Section off the two sides in front of the ears. (3 sections in the front.)

Create a triangle section that points down from the crown to the middle of the occipital bone. Use the tip of the triangle to divide the remaining two sections in half, creating four more triangle sections. (5 sections in the back.) 

Step-by-Step (Lightener)

Step 1 – Back

Apply Formula A. Take horizontal subsections and create thick weaves. Take the weave lower down the hair to create more depth. Work in horizontal subsections in the two bottom sections, using back-to-back foils. 

Step 2 – Back Triangle

Work in horizontal subsections, using medium weaves and the same technique. Work up to the top of the section at the crown. 

Step 3 – Sides

Work in diagonal forward subsections, continuing the same weave pattern, but keeping the weaves thicker towards the face for more lightness.

Continue working in diagonal forward subsections until the high recession. Move to the opposite side and repeat. 

Step 4 – Front

Start at the front hairline. Working in horizontal subsections, make 3 back-to-back foils using the same weave pattern. 

Step 4 – Top

Pivoting to the sides, continue the same pattern working parallel to the side sections. 

Process until the desired lift is achieved. Do not exceed 50 minutes. Rinse. Follow with Moroccanoil Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner. 

Root Tap & Gloss

Divide the hair into a classic 4-section pattern.

Apply root tap using Formula B, working in horizontal subsections from the bottom up to the front nape. In the nape area, create a zigzag subsection and take a large weave following the zigzag pattern.

Apply Formula C on the part of the weave with more hair. Apply Formula D on the part of the weave with less hair.

Continue alternating Formula C and Formula D, moving from the nape to the front of the hair.

Use foil with a balayage board for more control and to prevent colors from melting together. 

Process for 20 minutes. Rinse. Follow with Moroccanoil Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner. 

Haircut: Step-by-Step

This color creation is inspired by overlapping tones that provide a delicate contrast. Soft golden copper fused with a deeper red copper to create a stunning reflection. 

Step 1 – Sectioning

Create 6 sections.

Begin by creating 2 side sections, from the parietal ridge to each ear in a slight forward diagonal, to the hairline. Then separate the entire top as another section.

In the back, create a square section that extends between the side sections, with the low crown as the top of the square.

Below the square, divide the hair vertically into two equal sections. 

Step 2

Begin cutting at one of the side sections. Take diagonal forward subsections, combing hair forward towards the face.

Cut the shortest piece at 45 degrees to lie at the browbone, keeping fingers parallel to the diagonal subsection.

Continue with diagonal forward subsections parallel to first, keeping fingers parallel to subsection.

Repeat on the other side. 

Step 3

Move to the back sections. Create a vertical subsection behind the ear, comb hair, and cut at 90 degrees.

Continue cutting in vertical subsections. Repeat on the other side.

Finishing touches: Razor the long pieces on the neck to create wispy, textured effects. 

Step 4

Starting at the bottom, create a vertical subsection, comb hair to the middle of the head below the occipital bone, and cut at 45 degrees.

Continue cutting in vertical subsections. Repeat on the other side.

Detailing: Razor the long pieces on the neck to create wispy, textured effects. 

Step 5

At the low crown, make a small triangle that points up to create a guide that goes from short to long, using the bottom of the square section as the bottom of the triangle.

Work in horizontal subsections, cutting at 180 degrees and slightly overdirecting the hair forward. 

Step 6

Section out the fringe, from the apex to the recessions at the front hairline.

Cut the top section in long vertical panels at 180 degrees, slightly overdirecting to the middle using the top of the triangle as a traveling guide. 

Step 7

For the fringe, section out a small piece at the center of the hairline and create a guide at the brow line.

Take adjacent sections in diagonal subsections, slightly overdirecting across the opposite eye, and gradually shift consecutive sections back to natural fall. 

Step 8

Detail with a razor, focus on the neckline.

Crosscheck haircut and detail with shears, remove weight as needed.
