Fiery red color: step-by-step coloring technology from CONCEPT

In this material you will see not only the technology for dyeing hair fiery red, but also an important stage in the preliminary preparation of hair for dyeing and even a styling option that will perfectly highlight the result.

Pre-treatment of hair

1. We divide the hair into zones, as shown in Figures 1a, 1b and 1c.

2. Apply SOFT BLUE Hair Lightening Powder + Oxidizing Emulsion

Profy Touch 1.5%; 3%; 4.5% (1:2) + Oily fluid protection #1 Top Secret (add 5 ml of oily fluid protection to 30 g of lightening powder).

! We are working to increase the percentage of oxidant

Lightening is carried out using the Airtouch technique, blowing 40%.

We start working from the occipital zone. Select the strands as shown in Figure 2.

In the temporal zones, first we separate thin strands of hair parallel to the edge of the hairline with a veil and perform contouring. You will get 2-3 strands (select until the strands begin to fit into the overall length of the hair). Next, select the strands, as shown in Figure 3.

In the parietal zone, we first separate thin strands of hair parallel to the edge of the hairline with a veil and perform contouring. You will get 2-3 strands (select until the strands begin to fit into the overall length of the hair). Next, select the strands, as shown in Figure 4.

The total holding time is 60 minutes. Rinse hair thoroughly with water.

3. Next, apply Hair Fixing Cream #2 Top Secret to damp hair. Leave for 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.

4. Thoroughly wash your hair with Live Hair Salon Shampoo for all hair types (or Profy Touch Deep Cleaning Shampoo).

5. Apply the “Mega-Care for Weak and Damaged Hair Live Hair” mask, leaving time for 15 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water and proceed to dry your hair with a hairdryer.

Coloring

6. According to Figure 5, apply a mixture of Fresh Up Tint Balms for red and copper shades in a 2:1 ratio to dry hair in the root zone (1-2 cm). Shade the border with a dry, clean brush, using a plane from color to light length.

On the border of the hair roots and part of the light length, apply a mixture of Fresh Up Tinting Balm for copper shades and Fashion Look Direct Pigment, yellow shade. Mixing proportions – 2:1. Using the edge of the brush, shade the border between the red-copper roots and the mixture of copper and yellow, from lighter to darker. And with a dry, clean brush, flatly shade the lower border between the mixture of copper and yellow and the light length.

On the remaining ends of the hair we apply Fashion Look Direct Pigment, a shade of yellow, blending the border between copper and yellow.

Exposure time – 20 minutes. Rinse hair thoroughly with water.

Hair processing and styling

7. Apply Top Secret Conditioner to maintain the lamination effect on damp hair, leave for 5-7 minutes, rinse hair thoroughly with water.

8. Apply Stylist Straightening Spray with Heat Protection to damp, towel-dried hair. We dry our hair with a hairdryer. On dry hair, apply Top Secret “Shine Crystals” Serum to the ends and part of the length.
