My Hair - 2 step process (only do this once if you have light or virgin hair)

Step 1:
1. Mix 1 box of L'Oreal HiColor HiLites in Magenta with 70 mLs of developer

3. Cover head with plastic bag or shower cap for 20 - 25 minutes
4. Apply remaining color to roots
5. Re-cover and leave on for another 5 - 10 minutes
6. Wash hair out in COLD water

Step 2:

Extensions:
I used 18 in. Euronext extensions from Sally's in Chestnut Brown
1. Mix 2/3 box of Magenta color with 1/3 box Red color and 70 mLs of developer
2. Lay extensions out on aluminum foil piece by piece
3. Paint color onto each weft of hair, making sure to completely saturate the hair
4. Wrap up in foil and leave on for 20-30 minutes

Hope this helps! Happy coloring!! :)
