Before: Natural Level 4 with 4-inch regrowth. Previously colored ends with 4N.
Step 1: Prelighten hair to a Level 6/7 with 30-volume developer from mid-shaft to ends, then go back and apply on roots to make sure product is saturated toroughly throughout the entire head. Depending on the porosity and natural level of your client's hair you can formulate with a lower-volume developer.
Step 2: Shampoo and towel dry. Apply Wella Color Touch 44/65 from roots to ends. Process according to instructions.
Step 3: Shampoo and blow dry. Section the hair in quadrants. Forehead to nape, ear to ear. Starting in the back, weave 1/2-inch sections. A thicker weave creates a more dramatic look. In this step-by-step, very thick weaves were used. Tease the hair from mid-shaft to roots about 5 times. The more you tease, the softer the ombre blends.
Step 4: Apply lightener with 20-volume developer on the ends. While applying, feather the color with downward strokes using the brush vertically. Tip: Applying the lightener horizontally creates a harsh, blunt line.
Step 5: When working on the front two quads, take 1/2-inch diagonal forward sections, then tease and apply lightener with the same technique as in steps 3 and 4.
Step 6: Lift the ombre highlights until the desired level is achieved.
