Step 1. section hair into three quadrants: one section on either side of her natural part and divide the back from the top of the head to the top of each ear.
Step 2. Start painting at the nape utilizing zigzag, one-inch sections. I start with diagonal backs followed by horizontal sections until I reach the top of the head. This is commonly known as a brick lay pattern.
Step 3. Each zigzag section will be lightly teased to create defusing prior to painting.
Step 4. Make sure to remove hair in between each section. This will create your lowlight—or as i like to call them your interval.
Step 5. For the front quadrants, start at the temple area on either side of the natural part. I continue this technique using horizontal partings only, staying mindful of my intervals as they will determine how dimensional my end result is. Hair was toned with Deluxe Prime Blonde from Truss Professional, but you can be your own artist and be as creative as you want with toning.
