πŸ“ Sectioning Strategy

Standard 4-Quadrant Method:
  • Part ear to ear across crown.
  • Part center back from forehead to nape.
  • Secure each section.
  • Start at nape for gray coverage applications.

🎯 Application Techniques by Service

Root Touch-Up Application
  • Section Size: Fine 1/8-inch partings
  • Pressure: Gentle, avoiding scalp contact when possible
  • Saturation: Complete coverage without over-saturation
  • Timing: Start where most gray is present
All-Over Color Application
  • Virgin Hair: Start mids/ends first (15-20 min), then apply to roots.
  • Previously Colored: Apply to roots first, then mids/ends with fresh mix.
  • Coarse Hair: May need reapplication in resistant areas.
Pure Blonde Technique
  • Apply to mids/ends first.
  • Process 15-20 minutes.
  • Apply to roots.
  • Total processing: Up to 60 minutes.

⚠️ Critical Pure Blonde Guidelines:

  • NOT recommended for pre-lightened hair.
  • Natural hair only - levels 6 and lighter.
  • Apply generously for optimal lifting.
  • Fine hairline tip: To avoid cool tones on fine textured hairline, apply color during last 30 minutes of processing OR mix 12-31/12GA with desired shade for complete processing time.
  • Always follow with Calura Moisture Balance Cleanser and Colour Lock for maximum longevity.

🌑️ Processing Guidelines

  • No Heat Required: Exothermic technology provides optimal processing temperature.
Timing Checkpoints:
  • 10 minutes: Check initial development.
  • 20 minutes: Assess mid-process.
  • 30+ minutes: Monitor final result.

πŸ›‘οΈ Safety & Best Practices

Safety Essentials:

  • Keep away from children.
Client Care:
  • Recommend sulfate-free aftercare products.
  • Provide color maintenance schedule.
  • Document formula for future services.

6. Troubleshooting & Color Correction

🚨 Common Issues When Switching Brands

Issue: Uneven Color Results
  • Possible Causes: Residue from previous brand products, inconsistent application, varying porosity levels.
  • Solutions: Pre-cleanse with Calura Moisture Balance Cleanser, reapply with appropriate neutralizer (e.g., 0-11/0AA), equalize porosity with protein treatment if needed.
Issue: Premature Fading/Brassiness
  • Possible Causes: High porosity hair, insufficient processing time, wrong developer volume.
  • Solutions: Add 10% intensifier (e.g., 0-33/0GG), use lower volume developer (10-20 vol), recommend Calura aftercare products.
Issue: Over-Lifted Results
  • Possible Causes: Developer volume too high, processing time too long, hair more porous than assessed.
  • Solutions: Immediate toning with pastels (P-32 + 10 vol, 5 min), deep conditioning treatment, gradual darkening over multiple appointments.

πŸ”§ Advanced Color Correction Techniques

Correcting Faded Box Color

For 2+ level faded color:

Step 1: Pre-Color Treatment
  • Formula: 1/4 warmer shade + 3/4 target level
  • Developer: 8.5 vol Demi Effect
  • Time: 15 minutes
  • Example: For level 6 target on faded hair:
    • Pre-color: 1/4 7-45/7KR + 3/4 7-3/7G + 8.5 vol
    • Final: 6-318/6GAB + 20 vol, 30 min
Neutralizing Overly Warm Results
Formulation Strategy:
  • Add 15-25% neutralizer to base shade.
  • Use 0-16/0AV for yellow-orange.
  • Use 0-11/0AA for orange.
  • Use 0-13/0AG for red tones.
Blending with Calura Gloss
  • Formula: Matching Calura Gloss shade + 10 vol
  • Time: 10 minutes
  • Example: 8-32/8GI Gloss + 10 vol for beige blonde shine.

πŸ“Š Gray Coverage Troubleshooting

7. Advanced Techniques

🎨 Color Correction Strategies

Pre-Fill Technique for Faded Hair

When hair has lost warm undertones:
