Who says ladies have to have all the fun? While some men are turning to the grooming industry to simply maintain their looks, others are taking a walk on the wild side with vivid haircolor. In today's how-to video, Farouk's Color Director, Richard Jordan, walks us through a bold color application using CHI's Chromashine line.
Pre-Lighten Formula:

Step 1: Start 1/8 inch away from the scalp, apply Formula 2 throughout the fringe and crown area from root to mid-shaft

Step 2: Continue around the outline of the head with Formula 2, saturating the root area thoroughly
Step 2B: Be sure to outline the temple, around and behind the ear as well as the burn area
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 from the crown to the nape on the opposite side of the head
Step 4: Use your comb to pull Formula 2 through to the ends, from the fringe to the crown area
Step 5: Apply Formula 1 to the thin teeth of the comb on both sides
Step 6: Process the hair for 10 minutes at room temperature then rise the hair until the water runs clear
Step 6B:Towel dry the hair and apply CHI Color Lock Treatment to the hair for 5 minutes, rinsing with cool water
