• Be patient! During toning, he waited a full 10 minutes for this model but if there was additional warmth, he would process Blondor toners up to 30 minutes.
• Do not rinse out prematurely for fear of the toners going too dark while it’s oxidizing on the hair.
• Being a pastel toner, there will be some fading but since these are permanent toners, these last much longer.

• Cut the curtain fringe before the color to establish the guide for color placement.
• Leaving the center of the fringe without lightener and highlighting only the midlengths to ends
• Take the rounds of the head into consideration, this will prevent the blonde from looking too striped or thick.
• Slightly tease the sections of the fringe before applying the lightener.
• Only applying the lightener from the round of the head and below. This will establish your color guide for the highlights throughout the entire application.
• Section diagonal back on the sides into the crown to create more depth when you are teasing fine weaves.
• When working into the crown of the head, you will never apply lightener higher than the foiled sections in the fringe.

• Hairline – go through the entire hairline to create dimension with microlights. No teasing should be used because you want to have these microlights as close to the hairline as possible.
• Around the perimeter, use a tail comb and pull out the smallest section of hair around the hairline, versus taking out a large slice. Then weave the tiny section and apply lightener in a foil, this is your micro-light.
• For the money piece fringe – 1 micro-weave followed by two back to back micro-slices. These are the only three foils that will show lightness from the scalp. The rest of the foils in the crown will begin teasylights.
• To section your money piece, look for the client’s natural parting and section a triangle to the temples, as if you are going to cut a fringe.
• Always drop the fringe section once you have your microlight foils in to see if you need to add more brightness around the face.
• When transitioning to the crown of the head, slice a fine to medium diagonal back section and tease 50% of the hair down, then apply the lightener.
