I go top to bottom a fe times and then right to left and few times. Keep repeating till all the streaks are gone. Tilt it to the light to see if you missed any spots. Test it out one you don't care about just to get a feel for how little you really need. I swear it works like a charm to keep the color brighter, longer.Paula Cheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901202066712497040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942594477231846319.post-54773768692256278542018-06-15T02:32:42.708-07:002018-06-15T02:32:42.708-07:00So glad I stole a moment to check this out, it’s w...So glad I stole a moment to check this out, it’s wonderful Paula!
