Start on the bottom section; take a horizontal section from the nape and apply Formula 1 to the root area and melt Formula 2 through to the ends.

STEP 3:
Work upwards in horizontal sections until section is complete. Fully and evenly saturate hair with color to ensure an even deposit from roots to ends. Finish with a foil on the top and bottom to prevent color bleeding.

STEP 4:
Proceed to the middle left and right sections. Take diagonal forward slices through the whole section. Apply Formula 1 to the root area, Formula 2 to the midshaft, and alternate between Formulas 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the ends. Finish sliced layers with foil.
