Take a 2 cm wide rectangular “Money Piece” section at the fringe area. Start on the side, work diagonally toward the back using a balayage technique, and apply Formula A. Keep long roots, feather the color at the midlengths, and saturate the lengths and ends.

At the fringe, take back-to-back horizontal sections using a fine weaving technique to create a “Soft Money Piece” color result. Only do three foils.*

At the backwash, apply Formula C, the Express Blonde Toning Service, on the prelightened lengths and ends and fringe “Money Piece” area using an applicator bottle for a fast application.**
* After development time, rinse and apply LightPlex Bond Completion In-Salon Treatment. After 10 minutes of development time, rinse, shampoo the hair using LightPlex Bond Retention Shampoo, and use Visible Repair In-Salon Treatment to complete the prelightening service.
** After development time, shampoo the hair using Color Radiance Shampoo and use Color Radiance Post-Color Treatment to complete the color service.

Prepare the hair for your styling by applying Velvet Oil - Lightweight Oil on wet lengths and ends to achieve a faster drying, better frizz control and heat protection. For definition, use MultiPlay -Conditioning Styler.
