Creating Color

1. We divide the hair into zones, as shown in Fig. 1. We start coloring from the lower zone. On dry hair, apply direct pigment Fashion Look shade “Pink Flamingo” first to the roots, then to the entire length of the hair.

2. Take thermal paper and lay out strips of 1.5-2 cm end to end on it, one color to another, with direct Fashion Look pigments in the following sequence: peach, yellow, green, turquoise, “Pink Flamingo”. Then we repeat the coloring scheme, calculating it for the length of the strand.

3. We work in the upper sector. We divide it with a central vertical parting, as shown in Fig. 2.

We begin to work in the left sector, from the top of the head. Separate a thin strand with a diagonal parting and pull it from the face to the back of the head. Place the prepared thermal paper under the strand and press the strand. We re-work the colors on top in the same sequence. The roots are treated with direct Fashion Look pigment in the shade “Pink Flamingo”. Thus, as we move towards the face, we shift the colors on the roots (Fig. 3).

4. We work on the right sector in the same way. Exposure time: 20 minutes. Rinse hair thoroughly with water.

5. Apply Top Secret Conditioner to maintain the lamination effect on damp hair, leave for 5-7 minutes, rinse hair thoroughly with water.

6. Apply Botox Lamination Mousse Elixir and Stylist Straightening Spray with thermal protection to damp, towel-dried hair. We dry our hair with a hairdryer.

7. Apply Top Secret “Shine Crystals” serum to the ends of dried hair.
