Paper Not Foil allows you to be creative with speed and because it is a chalk like texture, it grips well to the hair without having to fold over your comb first, or fold into parcels. See how you can adopt this into your normal hair coloring routine below.
1. Cut paper to size.
This is a crucial step in making the service faster and easier.
2. Section hair
3. Position paper on hair section.
4. Rest the hair section on the paper.
5. Apply color generously to both the hair and the paper.
You’ll notice that the chalk-like texture of the paper helps the hair and color to grip better than foil, eliminating the need to fold over your comb and create a parcel.
6. Fold paper in half and press together.
This is where cutting to size and the unique texture of Paper Not Foil pays off, it will literally stick together making application time so much faster (and prettier).
7. Develop the hair color to manufacturers instructions.
Thorough testing has shown little to no difference in lift as it is still a thermal paper and conducts heat, but limits chemical reaction from metal and tin/bleach.
8. To remove, slide the paper and rinse.
Just like you’re used to, a gentle tug and it’s out.
9. Either wash and reuse or recycle your PNF.
Paper can be re-used once and is easy to rinse at the basin, pat dry for small amounts or for large amounts place in washing machine with a few towels on gentle wash, pat dry and use again. Paper does look a bit worn after washing but the sustainability aspect outweighs the wear and tear.
