COLOR DESIGN

1. Apply formula #1 to the regrowth area. Take fine partings to ensure all hair is thoroughly saturated. (fig. 1)

2. Upon completion of the regrowth application, start in the nape by taking 1/8" diagonal slices and apply formula #2 on the foil, feathering into the retouch area. (fig. 2)

3. Place foil directly on top and continue throughout the entire head, alternating formula #2 and #3 in the same diagonal slicing pattern.

4. Process for 45 minutes. Remove foils and shampoo with Goldwell Definition Color & Highlights Shampoo.

5. Thoroughly towel dry the hair and re-section into 4 sections. (fig. 3)

6. Apply formula #4 to the occipital bone region down to the nape. Be sure to fully saturate the hair. (fig. 4)

7. With the side sections, take diagonal slices and alternate formulas #4, #5 and #6, scalp to ends. (fig. 5)

8. Apply formula #5 to the top section. Again, be sure to fully saturate the hair.

9. Process for 30 minutes. Shampoo and condition with Goldwell Definition Color & Highlights Shampoo and Conditioner.

CUT AND DESIGN

1. Apply a combination of Goldwell Trendline Volume Mousse Normal and Goldwell Trendline Jelly Mousse Extreme to towel-dried hair prior to cutting. This combination works well as a cutting tool and provides support and texture.

2. Section off the nape area by using a horizontal parting from ear to ear. Using a low projection angle to build weight, notch into the hairline to establish length and to create softness and mobility. (fig. 6)

3. Take a 45° vertical parting from the occipital bone to the nape. Angle fingers to the perimeter guide and notch deeply to create softness and mobility. (fig. 7)

4. Create a horseshoe shaped section from the crown of the head to just behind the ears. Take vertical sections and angle figures to the previous guide and notch deeply to blend with previous section. Continue from ear to ear. Repeat on the other side. (figs. 8 & 9)

5. To create an asymmetrical undercut, establish natural parting. Starting with the lightest side of parting, part off just above the ear and slightly over-direct with a low projection angle and finger parallel to parting. Notch deeply to create desired undercut length guide and create a soft edge. (fig. 10)

6. Take remaining top section, and using a low projection angle and the nape as your guide length, notch longer, disconnected hair from the side to the chin. When the longer disconnected sections are tucked back behind the ear, the shorter guide is revealed to create an asymmetrical look. Repeat on the other side. (fig. 11)

7. Soften the fringe area by blending with a notching technique to create soft harmonious balance to the face shape. (fig. 12)

8. Texturize the top sections by using a slicing technique. This will allow the ends to move freely without appearing wispy.

STYLE

1. Apply a small amount of Goldwell Trendline Volume Mousse Extreme to the hair at the scalp, and a small amount of Goldwell Trendline Jelly Mousse Extreme to the ends to create texture and help support the style. The shine particles in Goldwell Trendline Jelly Mousse Extreme give added brilliance to the hair.

2. Dry the hair closest to the scalp in various directions to allow the hair to fall freely. Add lift by brushing and forming to create a light, airy feeling. (fig. 13)

3. Using a flat iron, create ultra-straight ends. Massage a small amount of Goldwell Trendline Shine Wax Extreme onto your hands and gently work it through the hair sparingly. Goldwell Trendline Shine Wax Extreme has very little hold but a lot of flexibility, so the hair can move freely and still give texture to the design.

4. For additional lift and texture at the scalp area, lift top sections and spray Goldwell Trendline Finish Spray Extreme aerosol at the hair closest to the scalp. Work through sections with your fingers to blend.
