Divina Color Has Specialty Colors

Divina Super Naturals and their uses:

1. 6.OSN, 7.OSN, 8.OSN, 9.OSN should be used to lift color from our line and other color lines.

2. We can expect 1 to 2 levels of lift.

3. If a client has a level 5 or higher and plans to change the color to a color two levels lighter(level  7) and doesn’t want to damage the hair we can use the Super Naturals.  Always pick the Super Natural color one level lighter than our final desired shade.

4. EXAMPLE:

Client was a level 5 wants to be a level seven and has grey roots.

1. Apply a level 8.OSN mixed with equal parts with 30 volume and apply to previously colored hair. After 15 minutes the old color should have lift to a gold level seven. If their is a real build up of old color another application of the SuperNaturals is recommended. Their is no damage done to the hair using SuperNaturals. When the ends of the hair are lifted to a 7.3 you now have a built-in filler and can apply your 7AT to the roots for 30 minutes pulling the rest through the hair the last 10 minutes.

2. On previously colored hair with a level 5 or below 5 a bleach/shampoo/10 volume mix should be applied to those colored ends and hair lifted to at least to a level 6 and then the SuperNatural procedure can be done.

3. SuperNaturals are not to be used for Grey Coverage!!!

Divina 00 and it’s uses:

1. It is used as a ammonia type lifter giving a 1/2 level of extra lift when mixed with the Divina High Lifts

EXAMPLE:

2. Mix Super High Lifts on a level 6 or above to achieve 4 levels of lift(always counting level 6 as the first level) mix 1 ounce of the desired

 SuperHigh Lift color with 1/2 ounce of 00 and 21/4ounces of 30 volume. The timing is 35 minutes on the roots or on a retouch. On a virgin application apply to the mid shaft first then roots and ends. Mixing ratio 1 part color to 11/2 parts developer.

EXAMPLE:

3. If your inventory was low and you needed a 8 but only had a 7 you could mix 1&1/2 ounces of 7 with a 1/2 ounce of 00 to make a tube of 8. Then mix equal parts color to developer and then color the hair.

Summer in the City pt. 2

Last time we looked at the ease and style of braids, today I’ll go over summer colors, in honor of the recent Summer Color Pop we had on June 12. The Color Pop was an advanced color class, spotlighting Divina Color, and was instructed by Christine Dillion.

When I say summer hair, what’s the first thing you think of? Highlights? Sun-kissed blond? Lighter shades? Well, I’ve been thinking about all that and more.

The first place I turn to D&A Beauty for their supply of Divina products. They have Super Blanc Polvo Azul (blue bleach powder) and Evyoxin (developer), both of which are the highest quality. This is the best developer I’ve ever used. I have extra sensitive skin so I usually get burned from regular developer, whether I’m using bleach or color. Evyoxin is different, it has soy collagen protein and wheat germ oil, so I may feel a tingle when using bleach, but it actually feels nice on my scalp when mixed with color.

If you are looking to lighten all of your hair, Divina also has a selection of Super HL (high lift) colors. I got to see them in action at the Color Pop, and I was impressed. The model started with dark chestnut, and when she was finished, she had a beautiful golden brown with highlights framing her face.

One of my favorite hair trends, which I think is perfect for summer, is pastel hair. It can be done as an all over color or highlights. Pastel hair is easily achievable using Divina’s Matiz (tints) on hair that has been bleached to a pale blonde.

Another and even easier way to add color to hair this summer is with extensions from NeoExtensions. They come in such a wide variety of colors and they have great fantasy colors, which are perfect for a fun pop of color. Using NeoExtensions for summer color highlights is a breeze, and they are reusable! They don’t damage the hair, there’s no heat or glue, they are made remy hair which is the highest quality hair, the ring that holds the extension in place is hypoallergenic, they are washable, and they are fast and easy to put in.

Don’t Forget!

Just a little reminder about our upcoming certification seminar and advanced color class:

I will be seeing you lovelies at both!

Divina Color

My new color

Thinking about a fresh, bold, new color for spring? How about something a little more daring? Try going darker! I used Divina’s black mixed with violet and 20vol developer to get my rich, beautiful color. Divina is a great line, it’s full of soy proteins in both the color and developer, so your hair comes out in better condition than before you dyed it. It has micro-pigmentation, with a stronger and better molecular structure than other dyes.

My hair has an awesome purple hue that my camera didn’t properly pick up.
