SHINEFINITY SHIMMER MELT GLAZE STEP-BY-STEP
PAINT
Step 1: Section the hair from ear to ear. Work in horizontal sections leaving a small triangle for the face frame
Paint starting from the nape. Take 1-inch horizontal sections and slightly tease the hair to diffuse the lightener. Teasing is important to create distance from the base and the mid-length. Keep the hair slightly elevated while painting freehand away from the roots.
Top Tip: the aim is to surface paint not saturate as you want to preserve dimension
Step 3: As you move higher up with your sections, blend your lightener closer to the roots
Step 4: In the front triangle start 1/2″ away from the roots; move closer to the roots nearer the face
Development Time: Up to 50 Mins
MELT
Step 1: Rinse and remove the lightener, and finish with Blondor Seal & Care after the full development time Apply your darkest glaze throughout your root area. Only glaze the root near the face for extra lightness.
Apply the lighter glaze through your mid-lengths and ends. Using a bottle application will speed up your service!
Top Tip: TO FURTHER BLEND the glaze and create seamless transitions, comb each section as you go.
Development time: 20 Mins
