Technique

Stylist Larisa Love prepping clients hair for color

STEP 1:
Protect the hair with Defy Damage Pro Series 1. Shake the can vigorously, then apply it to the hair in two-inch sections starting in the back. Spray in short bursts, then comb through for even distribution.

STEP 2:
Divide hair into four sections, then apply Formula 1 to the regrowth area in 1/8-inch sections to ensure proper and complete saturation.

STEP 3:
Section a large mohawk section on top from corner of the brows.

STEP 4:
Section from the crown to ears.

STEP 5:
Section a large cat eye at the crown to create 3 sections in the back.

STEP 6:
Starting with an angle that mimics the hairline at the nape, take a weave parting and apply formula 2 in a foilyage that feathers at the base.

Tip: Keep the lightener away from the base color as to not overlap the two.

STEP 7:
Continue foilyaging the back, working up the sections in angles taking weave partings with Formula 2. When you reach the prelightened blonde pieces, switch to Formula 3.

STEP 8:
Starting at the front of the mohawk section, take horizontal weave partings and apply Formula 3 in a foilyage method. Continue working toward the back of the section until you run out of hair.

STEP 9:
Working into the sides, taking diagonal-back weave partings with Formula 3 applied in a foilyage method.

STEP 10:
Move to the back and alternate applying Formulas 5 and 6 to the hair left out of the foils. Apply Formula 5 to one section, drop a foil, then apply Formula 6. Continue working throughout the head alternating the two formulas.

STEP 11:
Process for 20 minutes. Shampoo with Defy Damage Protective Shampoo. Apply Defy Damage ProSeries 2 and process for 5 mins. Rinse and style as desired.
