1. Section

We recommend cutting it shorter for short or medium length hair, as well as for tough areas like near the hairline.
3. Apply
Rest desired section on the Paper and apply color or lightener.
Remember to hold Paper towards the top for optimal control.
4. Fold
Fold Paper in half and press together.
When working with long hair, sandwich another piece on top.
5. Process
Process according to the manufacturers instructions.
Processing time does not differ and you can use heat as with regular foils.
6. Remove
To remove Paper Not Foil, simply slide out of the hair!
7. Rinse
To clean, rinse Paper at basin and hang to air dry. Or, machine wash with a few dirty salon towels for 2-3 minutes and put in dryer for 10 minutes at most.
8. Dry + Reuse
Hang to dry to keep the integrity of the paper or place in dryer for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
And there you have it! We suggest reusing Paper up to 3 times, although this will differ based on your preferences at the salon.
