When dealing with stubborn and resistant hair, especially in the hairline area, you can take the following steps to improve colouring results:
- Pre-Soften the Resistant Hair: Begin by applying the base colour that matches the shade you’ve chosen to work with. Massage this base colour into the resistant sections of the hair, especially the hairline. This pre-softening step helps prepare the resistant hair for colouring.
- Prepare and Apply Colour: After pre-softening, you can mix your chosen hair colour with 6% developer. Apply this colour mixture directly over the pre-softened areas and the rest of the hair. Ensure even coverage.
- Observe Usual Development Time: Allow the colour to develop for the client’s usual development time, as specified by the product’s instructions or your expertise.
- Wash and Condition: After the appropriate development time, rinse the hair thoroughly, and follow with conditioning as part of the regular hair colouring process.
By pre-softening the resistant hair, you can enhance the colouring process and achieve more satisfactory results, especially in areas that tend to be stubborn.
