Stubborn or resistant hair

Dealing with stubborn, resistant hair can be a challenge. Here’s a strategy to address it:

  1. Pre-Soften: Depending on the client’s hair history and condition, consider pre-softening the hair. This can help make it more receptive to color.
  2. Color Selection: Choose a color product suitable for resistant hair. Majirel double base or high resist shades, such as 6.0, can be effective.
  3. Altered Mixing Ratio: Adjust the mixing ratio. Instead of the standard 1:2 ratio (color to developer), you can use a 50:50 ratio. This can provide better coverage and color penetration for resistant hair.

By following these steps, you can achieve better results when dealing with stubborn, resistant hair during the colouring process.
