Prep the hair by spraying Purify & Revive PRIME Demineralizing Spray generously throughout the hair, combing through for even distribution and allowing to sit for 3 minutes (no rinsing or shampoo required). This will diminish any hard water minerals prior to any chemical service.
Pro Tip
Minerals are found in 85% of household water which can cause lightener to puff and swell or color to take inaccurately.
Application
Step 1: Sectioning
Section the hair into five sections: Take a radial parting from ear to ear to divide the hair in half. Then take a horizontal parting across the occipital bone to create a nape section. And finally take partings from nose to crown and crown to the occipital bone to create four quadrants above the occipital bone.
Pro Tip
Clean sectioning creates a working guide for easier application.
Step 2: Grey Coverage
Apply the Grey Coverage formula to the regrowth by outlining each section and then taking thin 1/8” horizontal sliced partings.
Pro Tip
Formulate for grey coverage by adding the same percentage of N, Nt or .3 as the percentage of gray to the target shade.
Step 3: Color Block Application Nape
Apply the Color Block Formula to the nape section below the occipital bone from roots to ends.
Step 4: Dimensional Color Application – Back
Taking diagonal back slices in Quadrant 3 leaving out 1” of hair in between the foils (4-5 depending on density of the hair) alternate applying the two Lowlight Formulas and the Lightening Formula where needed. Mirror the same technique in Quadrant 4.
Pro Tip
Adding dimension to the mid-lengths and ends allows for softer regrowth of the grey.
Step 5: Dimensional Color Application – Front
Begin your dimensional application in Quadrant 1 by taking diagonal forward partings and micro-stitching the hair at the hairline (about 8 foils) alternating applying the Lightening Formula and the two Lowlight Formulas in foil. Continue working in this manner applying to the scalp initially, then ½” away from the part after the first three foils. Mirror the same technique in Quadrant 2.
Pro Tip
Keeping your application ½” away from the part creates diffused dimension.
Process 45 minutes at room temperature then cleanse and condition the hair with PRAVANA’s Color Protect regimen and style as desired.
