Watch the instruction video of Christel creating the look.
-
1.
Create a profile parting from the centre forehead to the crown. Take a vertical parting from the top of the head to the back of the ears on both sides.
-
2.
Take a diagonal back parting 1 inch above the hairline finishing at the profile, separating the inertia from the perimeter. Repeat the same on the opposite side to create two triangular shapes at the front.
-
3.
Divide the back by taking a diagonal back parting from the middle of the radial parting finishing at the crown. Repeat the same on the opposite side, this will complete the back creating 4 sections in total.
-
4.
Take a horizontal parting at the nape area and begin the colour application from the roots to the ends using Formula 1. Use a TIGI copyright©olour meche strip for the first slice to protect the nape area. Continue working up towards the low crown section. Repeat the same on the opposite side.
-
5.
Take diagonal slices from the front hairline and apply Formula 1 from the new growth area to the ends, using a TIGI copyright©olour meche strip to isolate the first section. Repeat on the opposite side.
-
6.
Take horizontal slices on the low crown section and begin the application using Formula 1 from the new growth area to the mid-length area. Using a blending technique, apply Formula 2 onto the remaining lengths.
-
7.
Complete the section and repeat the same application on the opposite side.
-
8.
Take a diagonal parting following the natural curvature of the head on the front crown sections. Apply Formula 1 to the first 2 inches of the new growth area. Use a blending technique to apply Formula 2 from the third inch of hair down towards the mid-length and ends. Continue taking sections working up towards the centre profile parting to complete the section.
-
