Hey y'all!
I haven't posted a thing for the past two years, but not because I didn't want to, but because there was no much news in the hair world to post about.
So now, I would like to ensure that everybody is doing well with their hair ( either growing or attached), and will share some of my own experience ( as a professional ) about the hair things.
Recently a client was asking me how he can color the hair piece safely ( meaning- not to color the base of the system, but just the hair).
First of all, you should pick one level lighter color than your system hair is ( this is to avoid making it too dark- system hair absorbs color differently than normal hair).
Second - make sure the hair is nicely washed, so the residue of hair styling products will not get on the way( might get spotty if there is a build up of product). Do not over dry it, its best if color is applied on slightly damp hair, like 80-90% dry.
And third- when you mix the color, add a table spoon of water to the mix of color, besides the usual ingredients- color and peroxide/developer.
Next- Pin the system to a Styrofoam head, and secure the surroundings with a papers, or a plastic material( the dye might sprinkle around)
And here is the moment you prepped all this for- The application!
Comb the hair ( if tangled- take your time to do so BEFORE you start application), and then apply small amounts with the color brush onto the hair, starting from the back of the system, and then comb it thoroughly around. Separate the next section, and continue applying, then comb, and so on, and so on until the entire hair has color on it . Then you have to time the processing- it should be no more than 10-15 mins for re-touching the color. After that- rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, shampoo, condition, and final rinse it. Dry the usual way- wrapping it in a towel. Check if any spots need repeating of color.
Ok, that would be all for now! I'll write again, if I think of something else.
