5 <strong>Reasons</strong> <strong>Why</strong> <strong>Every</strong> <strong>Colourist</strong> <strong>Uses</strong> a <strong>Tint</strong> <strong>Brush</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Should</strong> <strong>Too</strong><br />

Ever walked into a salon for a colour appointment <strong>and</strong> sat back <strong>and</strong> relaxed while your colourists zig<br />

zagged a squeezy bottle through your hair? So, no.<br />

<strong>Colourist</strong>s always use a tint brush <strong>and</strong> bowl <strong>and</strong> are very careful with their colour placement. Their<br />

results (<strong>and</strong> job!) depends on them placing the right colour in the right place. There’s very good reasons<br />

why we take our home colouring cues from salon colouring professionals.<br />

Here are the top five:<br />

1. Precise colour placement.<br />

Layers are for cuts, not colour. Start using a tint brush for your home colouring to introduce control to<br />

the hair colouring process. The tint brush helps you place the colour exactly where you need it, without<br />

overlapping colour. Colour which has been overlapped will be darker <strong>and</strong> less vibrant at the ends . The<br />

tint brush lets you paint the colour exactly where you need it, significantly increasing fabulous colouring<br />

outcomes, <strong>and</strong> reducing the likelihood that you will have a home colouring disaster or even minor<br />

mishap.<br />

2. Creating clean easy partings.<br />

Follow our simple sectioning guide. for easier, neater sectioning. Use the h<strong>and</strong>le of your brush to create<br />

neat partings to section your hair. Use non-metallic sectioning clips (provided in your Free Trial) to clip<br />

your hair out of the way. This will keep it neat <strong>and</strong> manageable while you colour <strong>and</strong> it helps you to<br />

access <strong>and</strong> see the roots of your hair so that you can place the colour exactly where you need it. The aim<br />

is to avoid overlapping colour which will make your hair colour darker <strong>and</strong> duller in the mid-lengths after<br />

repeated colouring.<br />

3. Colour saturation.<br />

Using a tint brush helps you control not only where the colour goes but also how much colour you paint<br />

on to your hair. This is especially useful if you are trying to cover some unloved greys .<br />

4. Great for greys.<br />

Grey hair has no colour pigments <strong>and</strong> can be coarser <strong>and</strong> naturally be resistant to absorbing colour. Use<br />

your tint brush to paint the colour into the grey roots <strong>and</strong> continue colouring all sections of your hair<br />

(roots or full-length depending on your colouring needs) <strong>and</strong> then return to place more colour on grey<br />

roots. Push the colour into the hair with the brush to help the colour absorption. The tint brush helps<br />

you double-up on the colour where you need it most, while avoiding overlapping <strong>and</strong> colour build-up on<br />

the mid-sections of your hair.<br />

5. It’s all about the result.


The upshot is that fabulous colour results can really only be achieved on an ongoing basis using a tint<br />

brush – that is exactly why colourists in salons use them. It is very difficult to avoid colour layering <strong>and</strong><br />

the stripy colour b<strong>and</strong>ing effect that is seen after colour has been layered if you apply full length colour<br />

or over-lap colour. Using a tint brush for your home colouring is easy, <strong>and</strong> fabulous colour results can be<br />

achieved <strong>and</strong> repeated at home by using the right product <strong>and</strong> application method.<br />
