Application

Step 1: Sectioning

Start with taking out a 1” halo section around the perimeter of the head. Divide the remaining hair above the halo into 4 quadrants by taking a radial parting from ear to ear and a vertical parting from nose to cape, clipping the sections up and out of your way.

Pro Tip

Vary the size of the halo section depending on how much or how little VIVIDS you want to see.

Step 2: Pre-Lightening

Pre-lighten the halo section utilizing the Lightening Formula and a Platinum Card technique taking thin ¼” partings.

Pro Tip

Back-to-back slices provide the most impact.

Step 3: HydraGloss Application

While the lightener is processing taking ¼” diagonal back partings, apply the HydraGloss base formula to each of the four quadrants.

When complete, go back taking the same ¼” partings and alternate melting HydraGloss Formula 1 and HydraGloss Formula 2 applying them to the mid-lengths and ends, blending them in the shadow root.

Pro Tip

Drag the shadow root down further in the back and less towards the face for a natural look.

Process 20 minutes at room temperature while keeping an eye on your Halo section, rinsing early if you reach a Level 10 before the HydraGloss processing time is complete. Cleanse with PRAVANA’s Intense Therapy Cleanse and dry the Halo section (only) completely.

Step 4: VIVIDS Application

Section the hair again as in Step 1. Melt VIVIDS Formula 1 into VIVIDS Formula 2 blending the transition point gently.
