Let’s start with what has changed and why you should try it:
▫️ 1% oxidizer that prevents the chemical pigment from breaking down melanin → resulting in non-darkened hair + the polymerization reaction takes a bit longer (7-10 minutes) - increasing your application time on the skin (great for beginners)
▫️ Applies naturally to the skin and creates soft graphics
▫️ Ideal after lightening, laminating, and using on coarse hair
▫️ Minimal consumption when used, as the paint has a more liquid consistency
▫️ A wide range of colors that can be mixed to match every appearance color type
▫️ Working in different layers allows you to adjust the intensity of the imprint on the skin
▫️ Variations in packaging: vacuum and tube, whichever is more convenient to use
▫️ Any remover is suitable for application and cleanup
▫️ Contains a large care complex in its formula
Now let’s talk about the most interesting part, the color palette:
- Cold blonde - warm, yellow-green base, suitable for blondes and light brown hair
- Natural brown - warm, red-orange base, suitable for light brown/red/ash brown hair with fair skin
- Taupe - cool-neutral, yellow-purple base, ideal for light brown hair with warm skin/ash brown and brunette
- Graphite - cool, purple-black base, suitable for ash brown hair with warm skin and brunettes
There are 3 simple rules for working with it:
- Work with only freshly mixed dye - for the best and most wearable imprint on the skin, apply the dye before it oxidizes
- Work with the intensity of the imprint on the skin - for a bright imprint, the application of the dye must be very thick; with a thin layer (natural imprint) - the dye should not dry after application
- Reapplication in layers is PROHIBITED - after rinsing the dye, it’s better to use SBTS/Flash Tint to fill in any gaps
I hope you’ve learned a lot of new information. Thank you for your attention!
