7 minor changes that majorly improved my work
- Pulling foils at the chair before rinsing – way less tangles and so much easier to manage the hair! Plus it helps me start prepping for toning and envisioning the final end result.
- Root melting & glossing at the chair (instead of at the shampoo bowl) – my application is so much cleaner and more precise! Plus it’s more comfortable for me and the client.
- Using big foils for dimensional blonding – it’s so much easier to move hair around and paint specific parts of the section and not others!
- Using a board for blonding – the tool that single handedly made blonding feel like it “clicked.” Painting on a hard surface instead of the head or your hand will change your life! (mine is available by clicking HERE)
- Folding up my foils instead of laying 2 foils flat – the heat from the scalp is a very underutilized lifting assistant! Get those mids (and ends) closer to the scalp to keep them warm for a more even lift!
- Not mixing a gloss until the hair is rinsed out (and brushed out) – the color looks different after you rinse it and brush through it!
- Using grams instead of ounces to mix color – for me there is much less waste and so much less math! I’m always measuring in whole numbers which is so much easier for me!
