1. Begin by performing a Hair Peeling service, applying the product all over the hair. Leave to develop for 20 minutes.

2. Wash hair with TREAT NATURTECH SENSI DERMO SHAMPOO and dry completely.

3. Apply Colour A to a 4-cm band at the roots.

4a. Once the colour has been applied, clip the top and fringe area. Then, use the Band Waves technique on the right side of the head. Take slices in every section of hair to create depth.

4b. Apply Colour B on the selected strands and isolate with EASY MECHES paper foils. Continue through the left side and rear sections (crown, back and nape).

5. In the top and fringe areas, apply Colour B to twisted sections using the Brushlight tool to create a contrast effect.

6. Continue, applying Colour C to lengths and ends. Leave to process for 20 minutes, then wash hair with TREAT NATURTECH COLOUR PROTECT SHAMPOO and towel dry.

7. Apply INFLASHY GLOSS FLAME to lengths and ends. Leave to develop for 15 minutes. Rinse hair and finish the service with SILAPLEX 2 BOND RESTORER. Leave to work for 10 minutes.

SECTIONING:

Section the hair as shown. For SECTION 1, create a triangular section over the fringe area (panels 7 and 8). Create SECTION 2 in the top and crown areas by making a horseshoe parting. Use a vertical parting to create side SECTIONS 3 and 4 (panels 1 and 6). SECTION 5 is the area in the back and nape (panels 2, 3, 4 and 5).

1. Cut SECTION 5 with a horizontal finger angle, directing away from the centre.

2. Continue in SECTION 5. Take vertical sections, elevating hair to above 90 degrees for greater softness and using a horizontal finger angle.

3. Elevate SECTION 1 (panels 7 and 8) to 45 degrees and direct it towards the centre. Cut with a horizontal finger angle.

4. Continue in SECTION 1, combing hair into 0 degree elevation. Use the fanning technique* to disconnect and texturize the ends.

5. In SECTION 2, allow hair to settle in its natural fall and split into radial subsections, twisting each one. Establish the guide for the fringe and elevate the first subsection above 180 degrees. Cut the hair with the slithering technique.* Use the same technique throughout the section. 

6. Brush SECTIONS 2 and 5 into their natural fall. Take vertical sections, elevating the hair to 90 degrees and using a diagonal finger angle to connect the sections.

7. Continue in SECTIONS 5, 3 and 4 with a horizontal finger angle, overdirecting away from the centre.

This look employs the BAND WAVES technique to combine a range of copper tones, from terracotta to ginger beer, to create the perfect transition between these warm hues in the form of rich, multidimensional hair colour.
