Prep

Spray Purify and Revive PRIME generously throughout the hair and comb through allowing it to sit for 3 minutes to diminish any minerals while you mix your formulas.

Sectioning

Create 4 Sections: Start by taking a 1” section around the hairline to the top of the ears. Next, take a horizontal section across the crown. The remaining hair will become your last section.

Step 1: Back Sectioning Lightening

Starting in the nape area, take a ¼” diagonal back parting on each side to form a “V”. Take a ¼” parting, teasy the hair gently and micro stitch (- – -), apply Formula 1*. Skip ¼” and take the next ¼” parting, tease the hair gently without weaving (______), apply Formula 1*. Skip ¼” and take another ¼” parting, tease the hair gently and macro stitch (– — –), apply Formula 1*.
*Apply Formula 1 without overlapping previously lightened hair and avoiding the teased roots. Repeat until you complete the entire back section.

Step 2: Front Sections Lightening

Starting on one side, take a ¼” diagonal back parting, tease the hair gently and micro stitch (- – -), apply Formula 1*. Then, without skipping a section, take the next ¼” parting, tease the hair gently without weaving (______), apply Formula 1*. Repeat for the first 4-5 sections to create a face frame, then drop out ¼” in between partings until you complete the entire front section. Repeat on the other side.
*Apply Formula 1 without overlapping previously lightened hair and avoiding the teased roots.

Step 3: Crown Section Lightening

Repeat Step 1 changing to Formula 2 taking horizontal 1/4″ partings and leaving 1/4″ between partings. Process until you reach a Level 8 yellow-gold. Shampoo only, towel dry and apply Silk Degrees Prep and Treat for 5 minutes. Rinse and towel-dry well.

Step 4: Back Section Color Melt

Section the hair into 4 sections clipping away the face frame section and dividing the rest in half taking a ½” diagonal back parting from each side to form a “V”. Take a ½” section and apply Formula 3 to the roots dragging it down about 1”. Apply Formula 5 to the midshaft. Apply Formula 6 to the ends and blend the transition points. Repeat to the top of the occipital bone on both sides to create depth.

Step 5: Back and Crown Section Color Melt

Repeat Step 4 changing your formulas: Apply Formula 4 to the roots and drag down 1-2”. Apply Formula 6 to the midshaft. Apply Formula 7 to the ends and blend the transition points. Repeat throughout the remainder of the Back Section and throughout the Crown Section.

Step 6: Face Frame Color Melt

For the face frame, apply a small root tap of Formula 4 and apply Formula 7 to the mid-shaft and ends blending the transition area well.

Step 7: Cleanse and Condition

Lightly cleanse and condition with PRAVANA’s TRUITY System. Towel-dry and apply TRUITY Thermal Blowdry Cream before blowdrying and styling.
