It’s often the phrase that starts the conversation when women come into the salon, showing us an Instagram photo and wishing for a megaaaaaaaaaay change in their hair.
Usually the photo depicts hair with balayage, highlights, bright blond colors.
Often also bright red, copper or fashion colours.
Of course, in order to create such big changes, the only certainty is that you will have to use discoloration material to achieve the desired effect…
But what is it, what scares our client, regarding the Decapaz?!
Let’s answer the most frequently asked questions you ask us, or the ones you don’t ask us because you’re embarrassed!
Q :What is a decoupage?
A: Decapage is an intense chemical product we use in the salon to discolor hair and open up the color.
So it is the way to remove the natural or dyed colour, in order to achieve more than two tones for dyed hair and more than three tones for natural hair.
Q: Does the discoloration product have qualities?
A: Decapage has various qualities and professionals should trust only branded products. With cosmetic ingredients that protect both the scalp and the hair.
Q In what forms can it be used in the salon?
A: Decapaz can be in the form of powder, pulp, gel, cream or oil.
Depending on the company and the work to be done, we choose the appropriate one.
And this material when mixed with the oxidizer will give us a thick mixture ready for use.
Q: Is it possible for an unskilled or amateur to use it?
A: Of course not, because there are many factors that contribute to the success of this technical work.
Because the open product has power, experience and know-how are required when applying it.
Misuse may damage the hair and also the scalp.
An allergy test is required before contact with the skin and scalp and an accurate hair history is required.
The Colourist knows exactly where to place the product, depending on the job being done and the time the product will remain on the hair.
Q : On what factors does the intensity of drying depend?
A: The intensity of the drying depends on the material to be used, such as for example the film, foil, or even in the free air.
Always in conjunction with the degrees of oxidant.
Q: Why is a gloss/refill required immediately after use?
A: Immediately after blow drying, it is necessary to use the reflux to give the color to the hair.
We weaken the unwanted shades and give the hair an intense shine.
Q: Where exactly does it help to use the drying treatment in parallel with the #Plex or #Bonder enhancement treatment?
A:I highly recommend that Decapaz contains or combines Bonder or Plex.
Their aim is to protect the hair’s horn chains and prevent damage to the hair.
The additive helps to achieve the color effect and also gives healthy and shiny hair.
Q: Is special care required at home after this work?
A :Of course, special care is required for deep strengthening and repairing the opened hair. Still, there are products, which combine all the needs of light colors in combination with cold or warm pigments, to maintain the color effect.
