Technique
STEP 1:
Prep with Defy Damage ProSeries 1. Shake the can vigorously and then spray in short bursts to 2-inch sections and comb for even distribution. Make sure to spray away from the face for client comfort.
STEP 2:
Defy Damage works right away. you will see immediate shine and softness. ProSeries 1 is an easy 1 step spray that requires NO formula changes, NO mixing, NO developer changes and NO timing changes. This step will help provide greater and more even lift, greater and more even color deposit as well as make the hair 5x stronger while providing 80% less breakage.
STEP 3:
Apply formula 1 to the base throughout the entire head
STEP 4:
When applying color at the front, make sure you take diagonal back partings so that all sections stay nice and clean and away from the face.
STEP 5:
Section a triangle out from the fringe. Take a horseshoe section out from the arch of the brows that extends below the crown in the back.
STEP 6:
Working on one side of the fringe at a diagonal, take weave partings and apply formula 3 below the regrowth formula through the ends.
STEP 7:
Continue working with weave partings, adding babylights. The amount you add should be based on client consultation, hair type and density and the fringe length. Adding too many babylights on a short fringe will create spots or a banding look.
STEP 8:
Working with a fine weave parting that starts at the ear to the horseshoe parting, apply formula 3 from growth through the ends. Don’t overlap the two formulas.
STEP 9:
Continue taking diagonal back weave highlights working off the horseshoe section.
STEP 10:
Repeat on the other side
