Divide hair down the center into two equal sections. Create two reverse French (Dutch) braids starting from the front hairline down to the nape, pulling in hair from both the dark top canopy and the auburn underlayer. The result is a high-contrast, two-tone braided style that highlights the hidden color throughout the braid.
Maintenance and Care Tips
- Wash with Cool Water: Red and auburn color molecules fade faster than other pigments. Washing your hair with cool or lukewarm water helps seal the hair cuticle and lock in the color.
- Use Color-Safe Products: Always use a sulfate-free, color-protecting shampoo to prevent the auburn underlayer from losing its richness.
- Protect the Top Canopy: When retouching your top layer (especially if it is blonde or black), ensure your stylist isolates the auburn underlayer completely to avoid color bleeding during rinsing.
