How does it works? Cellophanes is GOOD FOR HAIR and GOOD FOR EVERYONE Anionic dyes deposit on the outer layer of the hair cuticle rather than breaking through it like most direct dyes – so each strand is layered with transparent, shiny color and gorgeous gloss for up to 4 weeks. Perfect for natural or color-treated hair craving an instant boost.
Express yourself with the Cellophanes Color Service. Looking for a vibrant color that keeps your hair healthy?
Identify your client’s hair color level, then choose the right CELLOPHANES color shade. It has to match the lightest level of your client’s hair.
Prep with any Sebastian shampoo. Do not use conditioner at this point! For optimal results, towel dry until it’s 75% dry. Detangle and comb through.
Part the hair into four quadrants, starting at the center of the forehead and going down to the nape. Continue parting from the top of the head to behind the ears on both sides.
Measure 60–120 g depending on the length and thickness of the hair. Apply CELLOPHANES by subdividing each quadrant into smaller sections from the top of the head down to the hairline. Make sure each strand is evenly saturated and the hair looks wet. To avoid staining, apply color starting 3 mm from the scalp through to the ends.
Wrap hair completely under a plastic cap. Place under 122°F heat for 15–20 minutes or 45min without heat. Color results can be more intense on more porous hair. Increasing the development time can also help achieve more intense results. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Rinse with lukewarm water until it runs clear. Shampoo and condition with your favorite Sebastian lineup.
Are you addicted to shine and want to give your hair a quick color-shine fix? For a gloss and extra shine, choose Ice Blonde for cool shades, Vanilla Blonde for warmer shades, or even Clear for pure, brilliant shine.
Apply to shampooed, damp hair from the root to the ends. Wrap hair in a plastic cap and process under heat for 10–15 minutes. Cool hair without the cap before rinsing with lukewarm water. Finish off with Sebastian shampoo and conditioner.
Suggest it to clients as a quick way to achieve glossy, silky hair in between their color services and they can maintain it with an at-home regimen using Drench shampoo, conditioner, and treatment. Make a cocktail of one part Clear shine or Ice Blonde and one part Drench treatment. Shampoo with Drench shampoo. Evenly apply your cocktail on damp hair by sectioning the hair. Leave on for 5min with heat under a plastic cap. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and rinse. Style as desired.
