Goal: perfect coloring

Whether it's white hair coverage or more elaborate techniques, every hairdresser always wants to get a perfect color, to satisfy the expectations of their customers to the maximum.

To achieve this goal, it is important to follow some simple technical precautions, which are often taken for granted: we analyze below the fundamental steps that will lead us to the correct application of Incolor.

The first thing to consider is the base color. Regrowth, lengths, and ends must be examined separately, to determine: the height of tone, the reflex or nuance, and if the color is natural or artificial. It will be necessary to understand what the necessary color steps are, the tone to achieve the goal, and establish the background pigment.

The front and back should be analyzed separately, determining the exact percentage of white hair. The structure of the hair is certainly another variable to consider: normal, thin or thick? Delicate or resistant? Chemically treated? porous or heavily damaged? These are characteristics that can influence the final result of the coloring process.

Incolor has a highly dermo-compatible formulation, but we know that some allergies or other skin problems can develop over time, even after many years of using the same product. For this reason, before each application of color, it is recommended to perform a skin sensitivity test to check if the customer has an intolerance to the product. 

The procedure is as follows:

• Wash 1 cm of skin behind the ear well with alcohol,
• Apply a small amount of Incolor to the prepared area,
• Repeat the application 2 or 3 times and let it dry,
• Wait 48 hours without washing.

If after this period of time itching or redness is noted, it is likely that there is sensitivity to some component of the product, and therefore the color should not be applied. 

If, on the other hand, the test gave a positive effect (so no itching or redness occurred), you can proceed with the application. 

In everyday life it is easy for everyday operations to be underestimated, as they are considered simple and taken for granted. So let's see below what are the steps to follow for an optimal and safe coloring job. 

Before starting, we recommend applying a protective product on the face contour, such as the Skin Protector, to protect the client's skin. Do not forget the importance of the operator's use of protective gloves. 

It is possible to obtain technically perfect and impressive results by following a few basic rules during the preparation of the color mixture:

• The doses must be precise to obtain a constant result;
• The use of a scale is always recommended, to weigh the right quantities;
• Never use metal bowls or tools; Use the product immediately after preparation.
• Before using Incolor, do not wash your hair, but brush it carefully to remove any residues of lacquers or fixers.

It is possible to make a delicate shampoo only in case of dirty hair or too full of residues of finish products; after a short drying time, apply the coloring mixture.

The color must be deposited accurately and evenly with the brush, avoiding "swiping" the brush to avoid removing the color just deposited. The laying time is determined by the desired result, the essential thing is that it falls within the minimum and maximum range of the times indicated. By rinsing the product before the minimum time (35 minutes), inaccurate and incomplete results are created. The indicated shutter speeds are recommended for Incolor to ensure optimal performance. Once the exposure time is complete, emulsify the color, avoiding massaging the skin too much.

When rinsing, pour the water in small quantities, continuing to gently massage the scalp and hair to ensure that the product's self-washing power exerts its full effect. Rinse the product until it is completely eliminated from the skin and hair. Cleanse with Post chemistry shampoo to fix the color and eliminate residues. Condition and treat with Post chemistry mask.

This procedure restores the pH, eliminates swelling of the cuticle, and prevents color discharge.
