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
Divide the hair into the PRAVANA Standard 4 Quadrants by taking a radial parting from behind the ear to behind the ear and a second parting from nose to nape.
Pro Tip
Sectioning the hair ahead of time creates a roadmap for your final result.
Step 2: Pre-Lightening
Beginning in one of the front quadrants, take a horizontal zigzag parting and apply the Lightening Formula utilizing a free-hand balayage technique. Drop the finished section into a foil as a barrier method to keep the lightener from transferring onto the natural hair. Leave out ½” and repeat the same method throughout both front quadrants. Then move to the nape area in one of the back quadrants and repeat the same balayage pattern throughout the back of the head.
Pro Tip
Starting your application in the front quadrants creates more lightness around the face and less in the back for natural gradiant dimension.
Process at room temperature checking every 5-10 minutes until you have reached a Level 9. Shampoo the hair with Intense Therapy Cleanse and towel-dry well.
Step 3: Color Melt
Following the same pattern beginning in the front quadrants taking horizontal slices, melt the Shadow Root formula into the Toning formula throughout the entire head.
Pro Tip
Drag the Shadow Root down less in the front and further in the back for added natural dimension.
Process 5 minutes at room temperature. Rinse well and apply Intense Therapy Condition. Style as desired.
