STEP 1 Starting below the recession point on the left side, take a semicircular section to 1" below and behind the point of distribution.
STEP 2 From the back point of the first subsection, take a semicircular section across the top back of the head to below the recession point on the other side. This creates panel 1.
STEP 3 From the back left corner, take another semicircular section down to the point below the recession on the right side. This creates panel 2. The bottom hair forms panel 3.
STEP 4 Apply formula 3 to panel 3, new growth to ends. Isolate with foil.

Shampoo with color conserve shampoo, apply color conserve pHinish and rinse again with cool water. Towel-dry the hair well to prepare it for the botanical therapy hair treatment.

For damaged hair, perform the repair treatment using damage remedy penetrating protein. Once the hair treatment has been applied, process at room temperature for 5 minutes and rinse. You do not need to shampoo or condition the hair.
