Brass doesn’t stand a chance!
Technique
STEP 1: SECTIONING
Begin with the hair parted down the center all the way to the nape.
STEP 2: SECTIONING
Section out a horizontal two-inch (5 cm) parting from the fringe.
STEP 3:
Starting on the left front-side section, weave a ne diagonal section by the
ear. Lay the section on a foil and apply Prelightening Formula from scalp to ends.
TIP: For an even look, make sure to completely saturate the hair and take fine sections.
STEP 4:
Weave another fine diagonal section behind last section and repeat the process working your way up.
TIP: When working with long hair, use long foils to save time during application.
STEP 5:
Continue to weave diagonal sections upward, applying Prelightening Formula scalp to ends until you reach the arch of the brow. Because the sections will get wider as you work your way up, start to double stack or overlap foils to make sure you get even coverage.
TIP: When working with long hair, use long foils to save time during application.
STEP 6:
When you reach the arch of the brow, slice instead of weave. Here, feather Prelightening Formula onto the hair in a soft V shape bringing the lightener slightly away from the scalp in the middle.
TIP: When working in wider sections, don’t fold your foils, just place another foil on top. This helps save time.
STEP 7:
Repeat the process until you reach the fringe area.
STEP 8:
Proceed to the fringe area. Weave a fine section at the hairline, place hair in a foil and feather on Prelightening Formula in a V-shape.This is going to help the hair look natural as it grows out. Continue this process until you finish the fringe section.
STEP 9:
Repeat this process in the back section of the left side. Start with weaves and continue until you reach the parietal ridge area, then switch to slices. Remember to take diagonal subsections for a seamless blend of color.
STEP 10:
Repeat this process on the right side; start on the right front side, then move to the back. Process hair to a Level 9/10 (Pale Yellow). Rinse, then apply Joico Color Balance® Purple Shampoo. Allow the shampoo to deposit on the hair 2-5 minutes, then rinse.
TIP: Joico Color Balance Purple will help start the neutralizing process before a toner.
STEP 11:
Towel-dry hair. Gently squeeze the hair, so as to not rough up the cuticle. Use a second towel and squeeze hair again for perfectly towel-dried hair.
STEP 12:
Apply Glossing Formula 1 to the roots and bring it down about an inch (2.5 cm) all over the head (except for the face-framing pieces). For the face-frame, bring the color down a 1⁄4- inch (0.6 cm). This is going to create a shadow root that’ll give the look extra dimension.
STEP 13:
Next, apply Glossing Formula 2 through the rest of the hair, making sure to completely saturate the hair.
STEP 14:
Use your ngers to melt the point where the two gloss formulas meet to create a seamless transition. Process hair for 10 minutes, then shampoo and condition with Joico K-PAK® Color TherapyTM. For an extra boost of shine, treat the hair to K-PAK® Color TherapyTM Luster Lock instant shine & repair treatment for 5 minutes.
