Aveda Hair Color Tips:
By following these key tips, you can unlock the full potential of Aveda Color and ensure your clients achieve the stunning, healthy hair they desire.
Preparing the Canvas:
Clean, dry hair is essential. Always remove any root touch-up products before starting the coloring process. This ensures even application and optimal color uptake.
Gentle Application:
Avoid stimulating the scalp with massage, combs, clips, or the color brush. This can irritate the scalp and potentially impact color results.
Mixing and Application:
Mix Aveda formulas according to Aveda’s specific guidelines. This ensures proper color development and performance.
Use a whisk to mix the color for a full minute. Allow the mixture to "breathe" for optimal results.
Apply the color/enlightener in small subsections, ensuring thorough saturation. For maximum coverage, use 1/8 inch sections during application.
Processing and Rinsing:
Process the color at room temperature without using plastic caps, as directed in the technical instructions.
Apply the color cleanly and avoid overlapping. Remove any color that touches the skin immediately.
Rinse the color thoroughly with warm water for 5 minutes. Ensure all color is removed from the scalp before applying shampoo.
Post-Color Care:
Shampoo with Aveda Botanical Repair and rinse thoroughly.
Follow with Aveda Botanical Repair Step 3 or Botanical Repair Conditioner and rinse thoroughly.
Client Education:
Educate your clients on personalized home care. Provide them with specific instructions on how and when to properly shampoo and condition their hair to maintain optimal color vibrancy and hair health.
