Lightener Formula:
• Flash Lift Bonder Inside Lightener + 20-Volume Pro-Oxide Developer
Lightener Technique:
• Johnny determined highlight placement using Megan’s lips as a guide. You can use eyebrows, nose, or lips.
• Work from the part-line down, taking the first section on the front left quadrant.
• To backcomb, take a slice, insert comb horizontally within the section and comb toward the head.
• Work down the hairline and lower the highlight placement section after section.
• Repeat on all sections, using the placement of other foil sections as a guide.
• Aim for a halo effect around the head.
• Process at room temperature for up to 50 minutes.
• Rinse and shampoo thoroughly.
