creamy, dreamy paste. Now you’re ready to Balayage!
Apply
Your application is a carbon print of your final results. Apply a
little, you get a little lift… apply a little more, you get a little
more lift!
Scoop out of bowl with paddle, continue to smooth product
on paddle with brush and transfer product from brush to the
section of hair—now you have begun to “BALAYAGE!”
Perfect to transition from dark to light or light to dark with no
harsh lines! DIFFUSE COLOR!
Process
Balayage will create a shell and start to harden, allowing you
to drop sections without foil or cotton, and no bleeding! (NO
BLEEDING. AWESOME!)
Now you are in CONTROL. You can crumble away shell with
your fingers to check desired result once hardened or you can
take it down sooner if your desired look is ready to roll!
