1. Start by sectioning hair into two orbital sections. Create a large circle on top, starting approximately ½-inch away from the front hairline and ending at the occipital bone. Isolate this section and secure. This is Block 1. The remaining hair is Block 2. Secure and cover Block 2 to protect it during application. Tip: To soften the transition between two sections, use a zig-zag line to divide them.

2. Begin on the side where your client parts her hair and place a ¼-inch slice onto a foil. Apply Formula A approximately ½-inch away from the scalp and saturate to the ends. Immediately turn the brush vertically and blur the edge of the colors towards the scalp area. Continue to take ¼-inch sections and lay on previous section as a guide until the entire top orbital section is complete. Cover with foil. Process to a Level 9 very light blonde or desired lightness for up to a maximum of 50 minutes. Rinse, shampoo with Redken Extreme, and dry the hair.

3. Re-section the blocks. Apply Formula C to Block 2 (bottom). Once complete, apply Formula B to Block 1 (top). Process for 20 min-utes at room temperature. Tip: To keep your work neat, place foils on top of your bottom block once Formula B is applied to keep the two formulas isolated. Rinse, then shampoo with Redken Color Extend. Follow with a Redken Chemistry Color Extend Shot Phase. Process for 5 minutes and spray with Shot Phix 3.5 pHix pHase sealer. Rinse and condition with Color Extend.
