Formula C (Ends):

Application Steps

 

1. Begin at the nape of the neck, applying Formula A to the roots, extending down to the mid lengths.

 

2. In alternating sections, apply Formula B from the mid lengths to the ends.

 

For the remaining sections, apply Formula B at the mid lengths and Formula C at the ends.

 

Ensure hands are clean throughout the process and comb through each section after application to maintain precise color placement.

 

3. Continue this alternating pattern until reaching the front hairline.

 

4. At the hairline, apply Formula A from roots to mid lengths, then blend Formula C from mid-lengths to ends.

 

ConnyJo notes that incorporating 7C into the formula adds a richness unattainable with 5G alone.

 

5. Allow the color to process, then rinse, shampoo, and blow dry.

 

For the final touch, ConnyJo styled the hair using a Bio Ionic 1 ¼ inch curling iron to achieve soft waves.
