UNDERSTAND NEW-TO-COLOR CLIENTS

Did you know SHINEFINITY is the perfect choice for a new-to-color client! Why? It addresses the primary concerns of first time colorers such as:

• Understand their motivations and concerns regarding coloring their hair. This will help you to overcome the barriers and suggest the right looks and products.

Motivation:

• Curious to try color trends as seen online, but without the commitment.

• Correct unwanted warmth brought on by the sun etc.

• Enhance and add shine to their natural hair color.

Concerns:

• Color result may not be as expected.

• Damage from color that will affect how their hair feels.

• Unsure of what service to ask for to achieve the desired end result.

TIPS FOR COLORING VIRGIN HAIR

Coloring virgin hair is all about mimicking what natural hair color looks like with lighter and darker areas, to encourage a youthful glow. Below are some tips you can consider for a natural-looking feel.

SHADOW ROOT

You can start with applying a deeper root. Once you have identified the natural depth of your client, take a shade 1-2 depths darker to create a shadowed root.

HALO HAIRLINE

Hair tends to be finer around the hair line. It often feels lighter than the rest of your hair. This is something you could maintain. Use a lighter shade here, or for a playful take, use a tonal shade.

SUBTLE DIMENSION

Leaving the ends feeling slightly lighter to create your natural glow.

HERO SHADES

for a natural look

Blend down the shadow root in some areas to the facial features you want to emphasize, eyes, cheekbones and jawline.

HOW SHINEFINITY WORKS

BALANCED PH TECHNOLOGY

Balanced pH technology regulates the color pH level to a controlled range throughout the coloring process, here indicated by the infinity sign.

Simultaneously the pH starts to drop to a gentle acidic range, which means zero lift and zero damage.

SHINEFINITY starts mildly alkaline, so that the cuticles can swell and open slightly, and the color molecules can enter the hair shaft for optimal color formation.

SHINEFINITY with balanced pH technology has been carefully formulated to maintain an optimal acidic level of no less than 6.5, as we know when the pH of the color is lower, it can lead to unpredictable color results especially over porous hair.

By maintaining this gentle acidic range throughout the process, SHINEFINITY smoothens the cuticles for healthy-looking hair and long-lasting color glaze and a healthy shine. Up to 250% shinier hair*

METAL PURIFIER BENEFITS TO YOU & YOUR CLIENT

METAL PURIFIER ENCAPSULATING METALS TO PROTECT HAIR

WHY ARE METALS IN THE HAIR?

Metals can be present in hair through the water that the hair is being washed in, environmental pollution, and foods you eat.

WHAT CAN THIS CAUSE?

The metals themselves are not harmful, but UV & oxidative coloring will accelerate the formation of free radicals.

WHAT DOES METAL PURIFIER DO?

Metal purifier is encapsulating and removing metals, helping to avoid the formation of free radicals. This creates a controlled environment outside & inside the hair. METALS ON THE HAIR

Free radicals can damage the hair’s natural protein structure. Resulting in color shift, dullness, and damage.

METAL PURIFIER IN COLOR protects hair from extra damage happening in presence of metals wherever the color is placed.

METAL PURIFIER IN CARE detoxes damaging metals from the hair fiber to leave hair clean and balanced, protecting the hair from further damage.

WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THE ACTIVATORS

SHINEFINITY must be mixed with its distinctive activators. It contains a specifically formulated BALANCING pH buffer system that controls the pH throughout the coloring process.

Bottle Activator for speed and ease. Ideal for all your applications at the basin.

Brush & Bowl Activator for precision. Perfect for melts and technique work.

Alkaline gel cream

BALANCING pH buffer system

The color cream mixed with the chosen SHINEFINITY Activator delivers reliable color results every time in a non-drip consistency.

HOW DO I USE SHINEFINITY?

MIXING & APPLICATION

Enjoy the flexible usage of SHINEFINITY. A glaze to suit any salon situation.

20 min

1:1

Apply to pre-shampooed or dry hair. Develop up to 20 minutes.

When fully developed add some water and emulsify the color to avoid any skin staining.

Shampoo the hair; no post color treatment is needed. Use conditioner if required.

WHY NO POST COLOR TREATMENT?

POST COLOR treatment is typically used after an alkaline color service to regulate the pH of the hair. This is not needed when using SHINEFINITY as the pH will be acidic at the end of the processing.

A FORMULA FOR ADAPTABLE RESULTS

With SHINEFINITY you can adapt your results depending on how you work with the product. Below are some hints and tips!

min

Expect softer results on towel-dried hair and shorter development times*.

min 15 min

PRO TIP

USING HEAT gives more intense results, great when you want to intensify your reds or blend away first signs of grey hair. No cool down time needed!

OXIDATION DURING THE PROCESS

The oxidation of the SHINEFINITY mass during the color process is close to the end result. Unlike the dark sometimes very tonal oxidation of other toners, with SHINEFINITY the color is developing softer as seen in the images below.

Below you can see a liquid toner oxidizing very strongly yet giving a soft result once rinsed.

BOOSTER TONES

HOW DO I USE THEM?

The three booster tones are ideal to expand the usage of the SHINEFINITY portfolio. Carefully formulated to suit the translucent character of the shades.

has many usages:

• Dilute any shade in the portfolio.

ALLERGY ALERT TEST

Like with any other product using oxidative dyes, the danger of an allergic reaction when using SHINEFINITY still exists. That’s why you should always perform an allergy alert test 48 hours before any SHINEFINITY services.

Mix 5 g of the color you decided on during consultation with 5 g of activator 01.

02. 1 cm2

Leave the color uncovered for 45 minutes. Then rinse the area with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Apply the color onto 1 cm2 directly below the crook of the elbow.

03. 48H 04.

Ask the client to come back to the salon after 48 h or call you to inform you of the result.

Ask your client to leave the test area undisturbed for 48 hours. If there are any signs of redness, burning, or itching the product must not be applied. The client must seek medical advice before toning her hair again. If your client has ever experienced an allergic reaction to hair colorants you should not tone.
