Chapter 5 - Miss Clairol As A Quick Glamour Treatment

Many women must be introduced gradually to haircoloring because they are often timid about making a sudden change in their appearance. For these women, Miss Clairol may be used effectively as a Glamour treatment. In three to five minutes, Miss Clairol Glamour treatment will add clear, glowing highlights to the patron's natural shade.

With the Glamour treatment the change in shade is slight and yet beautiful. The difference is so subtle that if the customer decides not to continue coloring her hair, there is no long growing out process.

Though any of the Miss Clairol colors may be used in the Glamour treatment, the light colors are preferable. These colors are Topaz, Golden Apricot, Sun Bronze, and Moongold. Either Miss Clairol Regular or Creme Formula may be used for the Glamour treatment.

How to apply miss clairol as a glamour treatment Preliminary

Be sure to make the Preliminary Patch and the Preliminary Strand test before giving a Glamour treatment.

Do not shampoo hair before application. Apply tint to dry hair.

Preparation Of Miss Clairol Glamour Treatment

For A Slight Change

Miss Clairol when used as a Glamour treatment may be prepared in two ways. If your patron wants only a slight change in shade, Miss Clairol should be mixed with developer and shampoo in a plastic applicator or a glass or plastic bowl. Combine: 2 oz. Miss Clairol with 2 oz. Clairoxide (or Pure White Creme Developer) plus 2 oz. Clairol Shampoo for Tinted Hair.

For A Decided Change

However, if your customer wants to make a decided change in her haircoloring and blend in gray hairs as much as possible, no shampoo should be added and the formula is the same as for Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath. Combine: 2 oz. Miss Clairol with 2 oz. developer.

Application To Virgin Hair

1. Apply the mixture quickly and evenly to hair with plastic applicator, swab, or brush. Gently work into lather, distributing the mixture evenly throughout the entire head. Do not rub into scalp.
   
   
2. Allow developing from 3 to 5 minutes.
   
   
3. Test a strand for color.
   
   
4. Rinse with clear, warm water and shampoo with Clairol Shampoo for Tinted Hair after the desired results have been obtained.

Glamour Treatment Retouch

1. Apply mixture liberally and quickly to roots only with plastic applicator, brush or swab.
   
   
2. Allow to develop from 3 to 5 minutes.
   
   
3. Test a strand for color.

Miss Clairol As A Glamour Treatment

1. Combine 1 part Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath, 1 part Clairoxide and 1 part Clairol Shampoo for Tinted Hair in plastic applicator or glass or plastic dish.
   
   
2. Apply mixture liberally to the hair with applicator, swab or brush. Gently work into lather. Distribute evenly. Do not rub into scalp.
   
   
3. Allow developing from 3 to 5 minutes. Make a strand color test. When desired results have been reached, rinse thoroughly with clear, warm water.
   
   
4. Shampoo with Clairol Shampoo for Tinted Hair. The slight color change effected serves as a beautifully convincing "introduction" to permanent hair coloring.
   
   
5. Dilute balance of mixture with an equal amount of Clairol Shampoo for Tinted Hair, after roots have taken. Work mixture through to ends of hair.
   
   
6. Rinse with clear, warm water and shampoo.

Note

The degree of lightening depends upon the length of time the Glamour treatment is allowed to develop. The longer the mixture remains on the hair, the lighter the final results will be.
