After the threads have been brushed, put on the silicon or plastic cap suitable for lights and with the help of the crochet needle, pull small fuses along the entire length of the head, where you want the fuses to gain more effect and highlight.

1. With the wicks pulled, in the container mix 2/3 of the discoloring powder with all the oxygenated water and stir until it is homogeneous;

In this period of contact with the skin it is very important to pay attention to any modification or irritation, such as itching, redness or even hair loss. When you notice this, immediately remove and suspend the lights.

However, if after an average of 15 to 25 minutes, the products have no effect, they can be removed, but even so, the site must be observed within the next 24 hours, avoiding any type of allergic reaction.

This way, remember to always test the wick before the lights, or any type of thread pigmentation that involves discoloration. This will make you safer and your threads healthier!

Tips to care for curly hair with lights

Curly hair naturally already needs extra care, since this curvature is exposed to bad weather and external agents. This way, before even doing the lights, start with a routine of care.

• At least 1 month before doing the curly hair with lights, start with a hair schedule, since in this method of care, hydration, nutrition and reconstruction are involved;
• When washing, during pre and post staining, avoid shampoos with salt as well as the use of hot water;
• Immediately after making the lights, make a hydration avoiding the loss of nutrients;
• One week after staining, carry out sealing processes that prevent damage as well as keeping the color vibrant; and
• Continue with the hair treatment process while you are with the lights, avoiding dryness, breakage and fall.

If the result of the lights in the curls does not turn out as expected, as we have mentioned before, it is possible to tint to create the platinum effect, but this should be done with caution. This is because the hair has already gone through a process of discoloration and consequently becomes weakened.

Thus, performing a new pigmentation afterwards may not be recommendable, even more so on its own. Therefore, look for a professional to make the correction, as well as to avoid possible damages.

Remember that curly hair is beautiful, full of possibilities and attitude, but for it to remain so, much care is needed. So, don’t neglect and enjoy the lights and luminosity of this new look.
