Technique
STEP 1:
Starting on the left side, weave out an overhang and clip it away
STEP 2:
Leave a small piece of hair unfoiled around hairline, then take a vertical/diagonal weave with Formula 3. Take a staggered slice and feather in lightener at the edge of the foil so there is no solid line with Formula 1.
STEP 3:
Take a vertical slice parting and apply Formula 3 from the edge of the foil through to the ends. Take a vertical/diagonal slice parting and apply Formula 1, feathering the lightener as before. Take both a vertical/diagonal weave and a staggered slice parting with Formula 2. Take a vertical slice parting with Formula 4; take a vertical slice parting with Formula 5 feathering at the scalp area.
STEP 4:
Continue to take vertical partings in the following manner: one slice Formula 2; one slice Formula 1, feathering the lightener as before; and one last slice with Formula 3.
STEP 5:
Proceed to the top and fringe area and section out the top approximately two inches in width. Take a zigzag diagonal/horizontal weave parting of overhang and clip it away
STEP 6:
Pick up the points of the zigzag diagonally and apply Formula 1, feathering the lightener as before. Take a diagonal slice of Formula 1, then take a diagonal slice parting with Formula 3, a slice parting with Formula 2, a slice parting with Formula 1 (feathered as before), a slice with Formula 3, a slice with Formula 2, two slice partings with Formula 4 halfway down the slice and Formula 5 on the remainder, and one last slice parting with Formula 3.
STEP 7:
Proceed to the side section and leave out a triangular section into the fringe area. Bend the foils out of the way, then proceed to the side area and take small slice of hair around the hairline. Take a vertical slice parting and apply Formula 3. Take two staggered slice partings with Formula 1 (using the feathering technique), one placed higher toward the top section and one lower toward the hairline. Continue to stagger higher toward the top section and lower toward the hairline to cover the heavier side with the following formulas: two staggered with Formula 3; two staggered with Formula 2; two staggered with Formula 4 halfway down and Formula 5 on the remainder; one slice with Formula 2; and two staggered slices with Formula 3.
STEP 8:
Completed foiling technique. Apply Base Color to regrowth area. Process for 20 minutes. Shampoo with K-PAK Color Therapy. Rinse. Apply K-PAK Cuticle Sealer for 5 minutes, rinse. Apply K-PAK Intense Hydrator for 5 minutes, rinse. Style hair with appropriate Joico styling products.
