Virgin Lightening & Toning Application

When a guest desires a very light blonde color or more than five levels of lift, lightening and toning is required.

This is a double process blonde service: first, the lightener is applied and then, after shampooing, the toner is applied.

Subsectioning and product application to mid-lengths and ends

‼️note: Do not outline the quadrant with product. With a virgin application, avoid the ½" closest to the scalp. Due to the natural warmth generated at the scalp, this area processes faster than the rest of the hair. Apply product to the mid-lengths and ends first.

4. Start in the back right quadrant.

If the hair length is at the hairline or longer, apply protective cream to the guest’s neck and cover it with foil. Take a ¼" diagonal subsection and lay it over a gloved hand.

5. Use the other hand to apply formula 1, avoiding the scalp area and working from midlengths through the ends. Turn the hair over and generously apply formula 1 to both sides of the subsection. Use enough product to thoroughly saturate the hair while working neatly.

Guest comfort and

protection

1. Apply protective cream to the

guest’s skin around the entire

head along the hairline perimeter.Sectioning

2. Use a comb to section the hair

into four quadrants.

3. Mix product in small enoughbatches to keep the lightener

fresh. Mix more as needed.

6. After applying formula 1, gently lay the saturated subsection away. With long hair, lay the subsection on top of the protective foil covering the neck.

7. Working upward, pivot the

subsections slightly toward the ear,so you will eventually finish with a vertical subsection at the end of the quadrant. When finished with the quadrant, go back through and check for thorough saturation of each subsection. Apply more product as needed.

8. Repeat this process in the back left quadrant. The back quadrants are now complete with the scalp area left untouched by product.

9. Move to the front right quadrant and take a vertical subsection from the ear to the center part. If the subsection is too wide, divideit in half for greater control.

10. Work toward the front hairline, applying formula 1 thoroughly to the midlengths and ends and laying each subsection back and away from the guest’s face. When finished with the quadrant, go back and check for thorough saturation. Apply more product, as needed.

11. Repeat this process in the front left quadrant.
