Hair painting is the technique of painting color onto the hair with a brush.
(So it’s self-explanatory in some ways.)
“Traditionally, with foils, you have a straight edge line growing out.”
“[Balayage] is mainly painted randomly on the surface to emulate how the sun bleaches our hair.
In addition, we use different shades to give an accentuated and more natural effect.”
This allows your stylist to understand your goals and evaluate your hair and what can realistically be done.
Leading into any coloring appointment, maintaining healthy hair is also crucial.
“Freshly washed hair is important,” says Zabel.
“Redken’s Hair Cleansing Cream is best.
The Extreme Cat Treatment is also highly recommended to prepare the condition of the hair.”
Each individual piece was painted, weaved with cotton coils, and then layered with cling wrap.
“Time and expectations are to be considered,” says Zabel.
“Hair painting may take longer than one app.”
Among them, “Always use color treatment shampoos and deep masks to hold moisture,” Hong emphasizes.
“A heat protectant and/or leave-in is highly recommended to keep the color intact!
Stay out of the sun, steam rooms, and hot showers.
Remember: If it’s not good for your skin, it’s not good for your hair.”
However, the experts note that for a more natural look and feel, there are other options.
“There are subtle ways to enhance the color byoverall glossesand toners,” Hong shares.
