Technique

Vivacious red hair color technique step 1

STEP 1:
Subdivide the hair from the apex of the head to behind the ear. Beginning on the left side, take horizontal/diagonal partings 1-inch above the ear. Weave or slice (depending on client’s hair density and texture) and apply Formula 1. Continue working up the head shape in the same manner to just below the client’s natural part. Be mindful to incorporate the hair at the client’s front hairline as sections move above the parietal ridge.

STEP 7: FREEHAND BALAYAGE
Returning to the nape, take horizontal partings and apply Formulas 3 and 4 in varying patterns depending on desired depth and dimension. For example: alternating or splitting the strand and applying both formulas on a single section. Process for 20 minutes after the final balayage section is applied.

NOTE: Leaving sections of hair or strategic ends uncovered creates an additional aspect of dimension.
