‘The better your application technique, the more superior the result will be,’ says Michael. ‘Start by applying to the temple, hairline, parting and your greyest areas, as they need extra time to develop.’ If applying all over, Michael suggests using two packs at once. ‘Mix at the same time so they can develop at the same rate.
