Technique

Extra Red hair color technique step 1

STEP 1:
Model has a colored (level 6) golden brown hair. Starting at the center parting, take a diagonal/horizontal zigzag parting of overhanging hair toward the crown (leaving the fringe exposed) and clip it away.

Extra Red hair color technique step 2

STEP 2:
Picking up the points of the zigzag parting, work diagonally/horizontally applying lightener approximate-ly 2-inches from the scalp area and edge of the foil. Feather the lightener, turning the color brush to one side so that there is no definite application line, just a soft transition from lightened hair to darker-colored hair.

STEP 4:
Proceed to the side area. Take a vertical slice parting of hair from around the face and leave it un-foiled, then take four vertical back-to-back slice partings with lightener (applied in the same manner as in steps 2-3).
