fillerCan you explain these salon/ hair terms to me?
single process tint- is a simple method of using coating or penetrating tints on all of the hair, while using one of the above mentioned color types: temporary, semi-permanent or permanent colors, to achieve a solid color look. If you never colored your hair, you must use the virgin hair coloring technique . If you previously colored your hair, you must use previously colored hair technique





virgin tint- the color application .must start at 1 - 1 and 1/2 inches away from the scalp and from the ends. The root area (at the scalp) processes fast due to the body heat, and ends process faster due to the high porosity of the hair. After processing the hair for 15-20 minutes, apply the color to the rest of the hair, making sure it is completely saturated and process for about 25 minutes. This is the only time, when hair gets deposited on the whole shaft first.





frost- Hair frosting is similar to highlighting. Each can be used to best effect on different hairstyles. While frosting involves bleaching of individual hair strands, tipping is all about bleaching only the end of the hair. Frosting the hair involves giving an overall salt and pepper look to the hair. Hair streaking is more pronounced when compared with hair highlighting. The effects of hair streaking are striking, since there are bands of color. In the highlighting process, the blend between colors is subtler





foil- foils (the most accurate type of highlighting, but tedious and time consuming technique)





filler- even out the beautiful color of your hair to give you a gourdous ballance
