Step 1: Prep the Hair

Prep the hair by spraying Purify & Revive PRIME Demineralizing Spray generously throughout the hair, combing through for even distribution and allowing it to sit for 3 minutes (no rinsing or shampoo required) to diminish hard water minerals prior to any chemical service.

Step 2: Section the Hair

Section the hair into the PRAVANA standard four quadrants by first taking a radial parting from behind the ear to behind the ear to divide the front from the back. Then take partings from nose to crown and crown to nape to create four sections.

Step 3: Balayage – Back

Beginning in one of the back quadrants take two diagonal back partings at the nape, one stitched (– — –) and one microstitched (- – -), and apply the Lightening Formula in a balayage fashion. Continue working towards the crown alternating a horizontal slice (______) with a horizontal macrostitch (—- —- —-). When you reach the crown, take 3 teased horizontal microstitched (- – -) sections alternating the balayage application patterns below. Mirror the same pattern on the other side.

Step 4: Balayage – Front

Moving to one of the front quadrants starting at bottom of the section, take two diagonal back partings, one stitched (– — –) and one microstitched (- – -), and apply the Lightening Formula in a balayage fashion. Continue working up to the parietal ridge with three partings, a horizontal slice (______), a horizontal macrostitch (—- —- —-) and a horizontal slice (______). In the top section take diagonal forward macrositches (—- —- —-) ending with one diagonal forward micrositch (- – -) alternating the same balayage patterns as in Step 3. Mirror the same pattern on the other side.

Process up to 55 minutes checking every 5 to 10 minutes until you have reached a Level 8, cleanse the hair with PRAVANA’s Intense Therapy Cleanse, rinse and towel dry the hair.

Step 5: Toning

Apply the Toning Formula from roots to ends.

Process 5 minutes at room temperature. Cleanse and Condition with PRAVANA’s Color Protect regimen, rinse and style as desired.
