Prep the hair by spraying Purify & Revive PRIME combing through to distribute evenly and allowing to sit for 3 minutes while you mix your lightener. This will diminish any minerals in the hair that can affect the color and condition of the hair during a lightening service. (No shampoo or rinsing required.)
Step 1: Section
Section the hair into four quadrants to create a working guide.
Step 2: Highlight Retouch
Using a horizontal foil placement pattern, take thin partings and micro stitch the hair. Apply the Lightening Formula to the new regrowth only. Leave the rest of the unstitched hair out in between the foils.
Pro Tip
This technique allows less hair to peek through between the foils creating a more diffused look.Step 3: Lowlight
Using the same horizontal foil placement pattern, take thin partings and micro stitch the hair. Apply the Lowlight Formula to the entire length of the hair for subtle dimension (every other foil). Leave the rest of the unstitched hair out in between the foils.
Pro Tip
For more dimension, take slices stead of microstitches.Process until the highlights reach a pale yellow Level 10 (up to 50 minutes checking every 5-10 minutes).
Step 4: Treat
Rinse with cool water, shampoo with PRAVANA Intense Therapy Cleanse, towel-dry and apply Silk Degrees Prep & Treat for 5 minutes at the sink. Rinse and towel-dry.
Pro Tip
Treating the hair with Silk Degrees Prep & Treat after removing the lightener equalizes the porosity for even toning color deposit and long-lasting color.Step 5: Overlay
Apply the Overlay Formula from roots through the ends and process 15 minutes.
Rinse only and apply Silk Degrees Prep & Treat for a second time as a treatment for 5 minutes at the sink. Rinse.
Reveal
Towel dry the hair and apply PRAVANA Hydra Pearl Oil directly onto your hands, emulsify and apply it to the hair for more control where you want it to go. When using hot tools to style, PRAVANA Hydra Pearl Oil adds lightweight shine and heat protection up to 450 degrees.
