ALFAPARF MILANO introduces ESSENZA an innovative technique inspired by one of the most versatile materials in nature: glass

description

Nothing expresses the essence of creativity quite like glass. It is an element that seemingly has a magical balance of colors, lights and reflections. The skillful hands of Italian artists in Murano have been guided by passion and experience and shaped the material to give life to pieces of work that convey emotions. The echo of this ancient tradition is the inspiration behind GLASS ECHOES, a series of new Alfaparf Milano techniques, in which art and science are combined to create new color harmonies. Glass Echoes expresses this concept in three new color techniques we'll be sharing throughout 2014: Essenza, Estasi and Soffio. ESSENZA is inspired by one of the versatile materials in nature: glass. Nothing in nature evolves as glass: originating from powder, it becomes a liquid, and finally a solid. In this technique, color merges and changes throughout the hair. Learn more: USA.ALFAPARF.COM

Nothing in nature evolves as glass: originating from powder, it becomes a liquid, and finally a solid. In this technique, color merges and changes throughout the hair.

IDEAL FOR:• Reinventing the “subtle blending” effect by making it multifaceted.• Proposing an alternative to the classic golden shades.• Giving personality to long and medium cuts.• Any straight and wavy hair style.

1. Take a horizontal section of the nape of the neck approximately 1 ½ inch (3 cm) above the hair line.

5. Repeat these three foils in 1 ½ inch (3 cm) intervals working up the head.

2. Weave across the section. The weave should have distinct strands of the hair with defined spaces between them. Apply FORMULA 1 (7.1 + 20 vol. Oxid’o) from roots to ends.

3. Lift the first foil and weave the hair directly between the weave and the foil above. Apply FORMULA 2 (6.4 + 7.21 + 30 vol. Oxid’o) from the mid lengths to the ends of the hair.

6. When you reach the ears, wrap the sections around the head in a horseshoe shape.

7. When you reach the top of the head, leave a fine veil of the hair uncolored at the parting, this will create a soft finished effect.

4. Lift foil two away and weave directly between the weave and the foil below. Apply FORMULA 3 (8.4 + 10.21 + 40 vol. Oxid’o) only to the ends of the hair.
