Technique
STEP 1:
Before every color and lightening service, prep your clients’ hair with Joico Defy Damage ProSeries 1 Bond-Protecting Color Optimizer. It instantly helps shield hair from chemical service damage, improves color deposit, and provides greater, more even lift when lightening. Shake the can well; spray onto two-inch sections throughout the head using short bursts, then comb through.
STEP 2:
First, divide the hair into quad sections equally.
STEP 3:
Front view of sectioning.
STEP 4:
Apply Formula 1 to outline each section
STEP 5:
Apply Formula 1 throughout the head in a shadow root method
STEP 6:
Continue with your base color application throughout the head working section by section. Once application is completed, process for 35 minutes with Defy Damage Protective Shampoo and Conditioner. Dry the hair and continue to the next sectioning steps.
STEP 7:
Next, divide the hair on the top and sides into 8 triangular sections, leaving out the area from the occipital bone to the nape. The width of the triangles should reflect the density and head shape of the client.
