1. Use Colour A to pre-lighten the hair from roots to ends. Leave to develop for 30 minutes.
2. Wash hair with TREAT NATURTECH SENSI DERMO SHAMPOO and dry completely.
3. Create two circular sections in the upper area. The first is a wavy-edged circle on the top of the head between the highest point and the crown.
4. Create a second section around the first, with a curved outline on the top of the head at 2 cm from the hairline.
5. Apply Colour B on the rest of the hair, working from nape to crown for a greater deposit of colour.
6. Continue to apply Colour B along the sides and on the 2 cm margin of hair at the hairline.
7. Apply Colour B on the roots on the outer section at the top of the head. Then, weave uneven veils approximately 1.5 cm thick and blend with Colours C and D on mids and ends.
8. Comb Colour B through to ends on the remaining section.
Leave to develop for 20 minutes, then wash hair with TREAT NATURTECH PROTECT SHAMPOO. Apply SILAPLEX 2 BOND RESTORER and leave for 10 minutes.

PREPARE THE BASE: Distribute DECODE SMOOTH ABSOLUTE PLUS through damp hair.
SECTION THE HAIR AND ISOLATE THE TOP: Take a slightly oval parting along the parietal ridge on both sides, followed by two more oval partings from each posterior point, which will meet in the centre below the crown
- Working in vertical sections, hold the hair at 90º to the head but cut at an angle of 45º, leaving the upper strands slightly longer.
- Use the same technique to cut to the entire lower area.
- Unclip the back of the top section (from the crown backwards). Cut at 45º, working with the shape of the head and using the longest upper strands as a guide.
- Unclip the fringe and shape it close to the forehead as shown.
- Cut the upper area, working in vertical sections across the top of the head. Use the back as a guide.
FINAL LOOK: Define and structure the desired style using DECODE SMOOTH SLEEK SERUM.
