Oway Hnectar Hair Color Training | Ppd-Free | Ammonia-Free | Vegan

Okay, well, let's get started, welcome everyone, I'm Rebecca Gregory, the education and technical director for simply organic beauty, the exclusive distribution for all of the Oh, a brand, and we are so excited to chat with you about the new HD nectar shades and about the line in General, because we've really chosen a very pure ingredient coming from nature to revolutionize the concept of not only color but also giving you a regenerating treatment as well. It'S a nectar based hair color, so I'm gon na talk a lot about the ingredients and the differences between those ingredients and the H color from away as well. But this is such a unique color line, and so when people ask me often, you know how to compare it to another brand or another color line they've used in the past. It truly cannot be compared to anything else. It is, however, ammonia, free, PPD, free, resorcinol, free fragrance free alcohol, free and it's cruelty, free and vegan, so very unique specialized nectar based hair color, and so we have now off we're now offering a huge palette of multifaceted nuances and they all have this very lovely Sparkle - and it really has beautiful fashion effects - it covers grain, but we're going to dive deeper into that in just a moment. The thing on this slide is the fact that we here at simply organic Beauty, love to distribute healthier beauty, products to the industry of professional industry, and so these are some of the standards that we like to use when we're picking or choosing hair color lines or Professional beauty products to share with all of you, so they these standards are something that we really benefit from offering and and partnering with these brands. So this is very important to us here at simply. Organic beauty and H nectar really surpasses any color line. I'Ve ever worked with so H is truly the first color infusion with integrated Harry plumping, and what that means is it's actually making the hair healthier over time? It'S it's a beneficial plant-based, hair, coloring and regenerating system. We do use vegetable, nectars, biodynamic and organic ingredients or again it cotton proteins are part of that, and then we use Fairtrade ingredients as well, so we're giving back to all of our communities worldwide, and we also have ecological packaging now once again, these this is a Color line that is without ammonia, so no toxic fumes used with this product, no PPD's, no resourceful mineral oils, alcohol or synthetic fragrance. So that's amazing, because a lot of times people hide different toxic substances or ingredients inside fragrance, and so this is a the first color infusion with integrated hair plumping. That is very, very, very amazing, for many reasons now, when we're talking about this brand and when to decide when to use the H nectar over, maybe another color combination such as H, color. It'S truly. These would be our target customers for customers, preferring like delicate color, infusions that are very natural-looking. Their end result very shiny and they're wanting to get away from like those conventional conventional dyes, and they want the hair to really feel silky and shiny and bright so or anyone. That'S looking to maybe color their hair for the first time and they're coming into the haircolor world, but they don't want to use all the toxic elements that they have seen in the past and so something more natural in their in the final effect. That'S also great for customers that have delicate or sensitive scalps or they're, just looking for something truly top-notch and their color and treatment if your clients have that are have may be fragile or fine hair types or have been overly treated or colored before this is a Nice way of offering them something that's more intense progressive and it has a restorative action during that actual haircolor treatment, so it's actually restoring their hair, their hair progressively over each color experience. It'S also great for those who want a clean or safe coloring session with you, but ideally the whole effect with using the H nectar bran is that it's actually very, very moisturizing to the hair. It gives the hair more elasticity. It brightens the hair faded from maybe sun exposure or somebody that's been out in the pool or chlorine chlorine from the pool or maybe out in the beach, so it's actually moisturizing and giving back elasticity for many reasons because of the beautiful ingredients inside the formula. It'S also a perfect way to tone or enhance and also reap plump hair. That'S maybe been stressed or repeatedly over time or even those with a lot of damage or repeated lightening. So I'm going to go very deep into how to use these as brighteners or toners and the whys behind offering that to your client. So these are your target customers when you're introducing this line into your salons. The benefits of the H nectar there's so many, but these are just a few. So it's a nectar based coloring infusion treatment which all dive deeper in when I get into the ingredient portion here, but there are 41 shades now so we've added to the shades we've added seven new shades to the lines. So now we have 41 permanent ammonia, free and PPD free shades, so anyone that has a PPD allergen or sensitivity. This is ideal for them. It also has the green sugars, which screen sugars, are actually going to improve the moisture levels inside the hair and giving it that elasticity so beautiful for those with curly hair that are requiring a lot of intense moisture to lock in those curl. And it also has a very reflective coverage I like to use the word reflective. It makes the hair really natural and beautiful when you're coloring it versus that really heavy opaque color that you may be used to with other lines. If you can get up to three levels of lift, so I know a lot of people were asking, can I get lift out of this color line and you certainly can up to three levels and then it's actually restructuring the hair inside that fabric? So that's what's giving intense shine, and so this is actually what I consider a coloring treatment. So, unlike anything else, it's not just a liquid toner. It really is improving the structure of the hair over time and each treatment gets better and better improving the quality of your hair fabric, so the age connector, it's the best. Some of the benefits are it's ideal for those clients, like I mentioned that may have sensitivities to hair, color and they're almost ready to give up hair color altogether, and you can refresh and enhance tones. You can tone the hair with these as well middlings to ends. It'S a beautiful option for refreshing that hair fabric and also improving the hair health over time. So it truly is a two in one color and rebuilding treatments. So it's a rejuvenation all over of the actual hair structure. So it's improving that hair health. Every time you work with it, you can't have hair lift because it's the intense structure, the inside the structure, it's actually regenerating that hair each time and you're going to get more of a sheer kind of coverage, but it's beautiful even with gray clients, so you're. But it's a hair will really have more of the coverage like a BB cream versus the foundational makeup, and it also is a cruelty-free and vegan option for you to offer your clients. So it's increasing the shine in a reflection of the hair every time the hair is very soft and silky to the touch from just that. First application and your clients gon na notice right away. So there's a lot of people that are scared to color their hair and that hair fabric is starting to look really fuzzy or frizzy, and this is a perfect opportunity and that's a perfect customer for you to offer this to so. Let'S talk about some of the key ingredients here, the organic Pappa model nectar. Now this is a beautiful, beautiful, hydrating ingredient, it's also very soothing, so anybody with sensitivities. This is a very soothing type of ingredient. Now they're amino acids that are in the specific ingredient are actually helping to revitalize the hair while adding shine. Now it has a plumping action to it so that hairs bound to feel thicker and plump, and it also has an anti-aging effect on that hair fabric because of the high concentration of the sugars, now sugars hold on to tons of moisture. So it's a very, very wonderful benefit to having this nectar, specifically in the formulate in the screen, chemistry, fair trade, herb, amate. Now fair trade arm amante. Now this is 90 percent higher in antioxidants and even green tea. So it's known as the elixir of life, health and vitality due to the ability to reduce free radicals and signs of aging in this this one of the key benefits that I love most about this being inside this green formulation is that it promotes hair growth. So many people are having a lot of hair loss issues from multiple reasons, and this is actually an ingredient built inside the H nectar formula. That'S going to help promote hair growth also helps to retain cell vitality, prevent aging. This is green gold or it's. It'S also got a lot of specific oxygen. It'S basically going to help to retain any of that cell vitality. It'S helping to regenerate that hair over time. I think the biggest thing is the that it's not very high in antioxidant properties. So it's going to help over time to be that anti-radical now organic, mallow nectar. This is beautiful inside because it's also nourishing and regenerating and energizing and revitalizing that hair fabric. This is a the pepper mile. I'M excusing mallow nectar is excellent for those with sensitive skin types as well, because it's very soothing anti-inflammatory, but also for the actual hair fabric. It'S gon na soften and elasticized that hair and it's going to reduce any likelihood of any condition. Continued sensitivities on on your scalp, so the Malin nectar it's a poly, saccharide rich, and it's that's what's helping to give that soothing effect to the skin next biodynamic elderberry. Now this is what's going to help additionally treat hair loss and that's what's adding a lot of brightness and shine to the hair based on the sugars and things that are also found in here, but it's promoting longer healthier hair. So the elderberry is basically considered like magic, so it's going to help with dull lifeless hair, give back that brightness and shine. It'S very reflective. Now we didn't mention the cotton proteins yet, but the cotton proteins are not only helping to revitalize the hair strength, but also to hold on additional moisture and elasticity for the hair. So all of these built-in nectars and the elderberry nectar and the herb amante, and also now the cotton proteins they're really going in to the hair fiber, where those chains are and not only giving back the moisture, that's necessary to hair fabric but also strength. So you're doing you're getting that plump effect to the hair and you're actually helping those with that are treating hair loss. So a lot of people will shy away from getting their hair colored when they're working with hair loss, but this is actually benefiting them over and over each each color and treatment. So now, let's meet the new shades. We'Ve got seven new shades that I'm so excited about. I'Ve been playing with them since they launched in Italy, and they they we've been really really really wanting a series of the in attend series level tens. So they stay added to this family with seven new shades and first we'll start with the ten point. One. That'S considered an extra light blonde with an ash shaped tone to the end, so it's a level ten ash and then, on top of it, we added a ten point: two, which is an extra light blonde and the ten point two is so beautiful because you actually Got a little bit of that, I would say a little violet reflection to it and the ten point two is great ideal for anyone that you really want to hold kind of veer away from any of those yellowish tones where the 10.1 is really going to help. You when you're working with neutralizing orange and yellowish reflections now the 10.2 one is a perfect opportunity when you're, it's a lavender series and it's really ideal for cooling turning off those yellowish orange tones. This is a beautiful beautiful way to not only obviously, you can mix all of these, but when you're lifting and you want to tone but you're - also wanting to revitalize the air fabric. This is perfect because you're able to control a lot of the yellowish and orange cones at that level. Now the 10.3 one that's more of our level 10 beige series, and I consider that our in our desert sand series now the secondary reflection is very great when you're working with a reflection of not only gold but a little bit of control in the ash. So this is the series that makes it possible to really obtain not only bright natural golds, with the cold secondary reflection being that Ash. So it's refining that just and controlling the volume there. So then our 10.32 that's part of our new caramel series, but at a level 10. So this can be a warm series, but it can also have a little bit of that cold tone being that point with the two. So you've got a gold almost violet, so you can control a lot of that gold as well, and it has just an a little bit of the gold, but it really has like a nice softness to it. Next, we have the 8.32 now. This is a gorgeous way to go in and add lowlights, it's part of our caramel series, but at a level eight. So once again, it has a little bit of a cold reflection after the gold, so the gold being your 0.3 and then the two being that controlled with the yellow with those gold tones to it. So it's wonderful way to go into pre, lighten hair and add back in some really pretty caramel low lights. Now we added a five point: six six, which is our double red and that's in our cayenne series. So the cayenne series makes it possible to really give you intense, bright reds now, this being at a level five and the five is our background of red anyway. So this can be a gorgeous very intense red for you in the new H, nectar shades. So seven new shades we asked they gave it's. These are just beautiful to add to the new line to our H, nectar line. So let's talk a little bit about how to understand the numbers in the H nectar series, so the first number of being your level. So here you see on the screen a level eight and then after the decimal, you've got the point three two. So that's 60 percent gold and forty percent of your more of your era say or kind of a violet, so 60/40 split after the decimal first number is your level. So we've already had some natural series in our opportunities with the H nectar series. So you see here we have all of the naturals and those all start at a level three and go all the way up to 9. So 3.0. 4.0 five. These are all perfect when you want to cover gray. So let's say I have 50 % gray, 50 % of my formula should be part of the natural series or the point. Oh, these will blend all of your natural gray reflux and once again, let's talk about the coverage using the H nectar series, because the H sector series has been known to be more of a a sheer reflexion, some call it translucent. I prefer not to call it translucent, because that means it doesn't cover. Typically, however, this just really makes the fabric of hair look like hair without that heavy opaque flat muteness to it. So these are just very reflective. They make the hair look like very beautiful, shiny reflections and strings through. Naturally, that hair looks very natural when we work with the H, not your series and you're also treating that hair. So someone that's got very fuzzy or or the curls are starting to dissipate, or they just have really gone. Their hair has been to shock from tossed ammoniated hair colors. This is a great way to refurbish that hair fabric back to you, a beautiful shiny state, that's natural and reflective. Let'S talk about the North series, the these are very cool tones being the point one so they're great when neutralizing orange or yellow reflections and those all start at the point, one series starting at a level four. So we have the four point: one we skip to a six point one and what if you mix the four point, one and six point one together in equal parts, you'll get a level five point one. Ideally, then we jump up to an eight point one. So a level eight ash and then we have a nine point. One. The nine point one is a gorgeous toning opportunity as well, so anytime, you're lifting and you want to really go back in and refresh that hair and tone it a little bit or shrinks that reef left. You'Ve got the nine point, one, which is a perfect position to be in having that opportunity. So then we have the cinnamon series, which is our 0.34 series, so the first reflect 60 % gold and 40 % of your copper. These are great, very they're, they're, very rich and spicy, but they have this beautiful. Nice copper reflect to them. The gold always picks up a little bit more of that copper. So this, the cinnamon series is a perfect description for these, so slightly copper, intense, warm moving on to our coffee series that coffee series gives you very. It'S got the gold reflect first, and these are. This is a very classy. Looks it's comes into level six, so it will ideally give you a nice copper read, but the it's. It'S just a very perfect way to refresh your mids and ends, especially the level sick that wants to have a warmth up to it, and it's just a beautiful blending opportunity there. Now we've got the bird in these series, so our burgundy series has it's a shade of red with touches of purple, which is sort of like a burgundy wine, and it has. The burgundy series is very, it can be very intense, but they come into level five and a level seven. Then we have our midnight blue series. This is like our blue black, it's very deep. It has a lot of intensity to it. I like to add just a drop of it if I'm trying to cool something off, because there is such a nice amount of blue in that, and that 1.8 is a beautiful blue back very, very, very shiny. So we have our 0.9 Series now. Our point-9 series is interesting because it has a it almost has a coolness to it and it's a very sophisticated type of brown, so it's ideal for turning off rewarm reflux. So if you see the 5.9 on the chart, it looks warm, but when you plot it on the color wheel, it actually has a coolness to it. So it can control your warmth. So it comes in a level five and then level seven. So then we that brings me to our wheat series, which is the point three. So that is more like a gold, and the wheat series has basically a lot of warm reflection to it, but it can intense the hairs. Natural pigment as well so really gives the skin tone a lot of nice reflection and it just brings like, for example, I use the 8.3 on white hair and it has that nice softness to it, but it also makes women that are maybe aging really bright in Their skin turns as well, so it brings that natural melanin back into the skin as well and that glow. So then we have our desert sand series. This is our almost like a beige, so we have a point three one and that's going to have some bright natural gold to it with the cold secondary reef flat there that helps to hold on and control the warmth. So it's a perfect page, our saffron series, our double copper. 0.44. This is a very nice natural type of bright, reflect with the double copper super shiny and it's a gorgeous way to bring a nice copper. I also like to mix this with the point. Three four series: it kind of tones it down a little bit but keeps it intense as well our 0.77 blueberry series. This is someone who wants a nice intense purple. It comes in a level four and a level 6. So our blueberry double seven is a double violet, the caramel series. 0.32. It'S a warm series, but it also has a little bit of cold tone to with the number two there after the decimal. The caramel series is a beautiful way to kind of control. The warmth, especially when you're looking at orange or gold, it's a nice way to also add in a low light, so you're 0.32 has just been added. So that's a level 10. You can really cool off things or it's a perfect toner. Ideally, then, the lavender series point to one we've, just added that so another great toning opportunity, so cool down some of the yellowish orange tones there as well. So for those of you have never experienced the H nectar. I'D like to talk to you a little bit about the mix and the timing and what to expect when you're working with this. This is a coloring treatment, restructure izing that hair. So those of you just joining me - this is a great way to give a nice natural, shear reflection to the hair. You can use it to tone, you can use it to get three levels of lift. There are 41 shades now that all can be blended together. For whatever formula choice you like and it's going to while you're using it, not only respect the hair fiber, but actually regenerate, re-plump and re-energize that pear fabric for you. So when you're working with it, the nice part is if you're already currently working with the OAH color, you don't need to buy a ton of developers. You can use the same developers. The H catalyst system from love 9 volume all the way to 40 volume, but you are always going to mix this in a one-to-one ratio, so you can use 20 30 40 when you're working with a new growth - or you know you want to do us a Nice retouch, you can use any of those depending on on how much lift or such that you need, and it is one to one ratio virgin hair. You see again, you can use 20 30 or 40 volume. You can use nine as well for glossing and then for anybody with real resistant gray. You can still use the 20 30 or 40 volume, but then here you'll see opportunities to tone or over pre lightened hair, using either the nine or the 20 volume. And then, lastly, tone-on-tone refreshing mids & m's toning hair that you've pre lifted that's going to be using your 9 volume, so equal parts and then the recommended timing is 30 to 40 minutes. One thing I will tell you from experiences is that, because of all of the sugars from the nectars in the formulation as its oxidizing and processing, the hair will look dark. So that's something from a user point of view. I want to educate you on right away out. The gate is: when you see it on the hair, it is oxidizing, it will appear to look dark. For example, I used an 8.0 with an 8.3 on a client that had a hundred percent white hair and the hair did look like a level eight and a half nine when I was through and a nice golden reflect, definitely helped with the hair fabric deeply inside. Where the chains of protein and moisture were needed to be reap lumped and reenergized, so the hair was easy to blow out beautiful. However, when it was on it looked almost dark green, so I had to trust the process. I stuck with my 30-minute timing. Maximum would have been 40 minutes, but I went with 30 minutes with this particular client and it looked like a Beautif level. 8. When I was done, no heat is required nor necessary, nor recommended. So it's just sitting at at room temp just sitting in that your salon, chair and your client will be done after maximum 40 minutes. You cannot add the hyper color drops, because the way this processes that will not assist you in any way to speed up the process, the H nectar formulation is meant to be on for 30 to 40 minutes and then, at the end of that time, when you Take them over to your shampoo bowl, you're gon na, add a little bit of lukewarm water and then turn the water off and go ahead and emulsify the remaining mix, while you're working it off the mids and ends. So it's a true emulsification mids and ends get that color pushed into the hair fabric a little bit further and off of the ends from there. You'Ll add in some additional water and continue to emulsify until the water is clear and the hair is clear of any of the remaining product from there once you're done, and you know that the hair has properly been emulsified and all the remaining H nectar has been Removed from the hair, then you will want to apply the H balanced, shampoo and condition with the H balanced mask. That'S going to bring the hair back down to the proper pH seal in the hair color into the hair, where it's fully oxidized and from there you can go ahead and spray, the H restore, which is our vegetable protein spray and go ahead and style. So once again, no heat source required make sure that the product is evenly distributed to the hair fabric. You don't need a ton of product just make sure that it's evenly saturated when you're working with 30 % white hair. You can just go in right away with your shave and it's going to pick up and reflect that shade. But if it's over 30 % white or our gray hair, you would want to mix in one of your point: o natural color bases. And then you can add in your reflect from there, so increasing the percentage of that natural point o base color will decrease any of the highlights at the app-v that you add and reflex. So keep that in mind too, when you're coming up with your formulas. Well briefly, I want to kind of mention the system to you. If you've got someone with very resistant, refractory hair types, you can use or start your color service using H type clarifying shampoo. This is a very delicate way to cleanse the hair and make sure that there's zero buildup left on the hair when you're about to color using such a delicate colouring treatment such as the H nectar it'll, help prepare the hair for that and really is because of The pH it's going to help to soften that hair so that the color pigments easily absorbed. So it's going to gently, remove any styling products and purities soften the hair because of the pH next we mentioned the H restore, which is our vegetable protein. Integrating spray very concentrated way to restore protein and amino acids to the hair type, but it's very light and it's also suitable for all hair types. It'S going to actually get inside and rebuild all that hair structure which color is attracted to. So if you've done this part of the service, you've got color attracting protein and protein contracted color. Let'S say: you've got a beautiful marriage inside that hair fabric, which is gon na help with color longevity. So it's also a perfect way to equalize the porosity of the hair fabric that you're about to color. So before color, you can actually spray this through and it's going to help with the porosity and help to make sure that your color is evenly saturated throughout the hair fabric. I mentioned closing the service after you've emulsified the H nectar from the hair, using our H Balance shampoo. This is going to help rebalance the pH after the color, bringing it back to a way to seal in that color into under the hair cuticle into the cortex of the hair, and also helps to improve the hair fiber each time you're working with it from there. The H bounce mask is the way to condition detangle the hair, give it back the correct, pH levels and help to seal that cuticle down properly. It'S very moisturizing, and it also has an anti oxidative effect to it. So, working with these on your back bar a perfect way, especially if you haven't really started with any of the other aftercare shampoos and baths and masks from the H system or excuse me from the away system. So this is a nice way to start with the line if you haven't built up your back bar, but these are a perfect way to seal the cuticle and the color into the hair fabric while nourishing and rebalancing the hair too. So in review we've we asked a way to come up with some additional toning level: tens and some perfect bright, reds and and a nice level, eight carmel type of color. So they did that and they've added the seven shades to our current selection or all the families that we currently have. So now there are 41 beautiful shades that can be used alone or also blended together. So you have a lot of opportunities to give your clients desired shades with a very bright reflective coverage similar to that of BB cream versus a foundational makeup. They come in two ounce bottle of 60 ml bottles and you really don't need a whole lot, so they do spread very, very well through the hair and we continue consider them a coloring treatment, restructure izing that hair each time you use them. So someone that's, maybe gone through a lot of hair loss, maybe chemo. This is a great way to reintroduce them to hair color, but in a in a very beneficial healthy way, because it's also going to that hair up and give it long-lasting hydration, which is great for elasticity and shine. You can lighten two to three shades. Depending on the developer choice. You use it's a one to one ratio, no heats necessary or recommended. So it's just you know, easy easy, easy, coloring service to do as well, and so each time you use it, your clients are gon na just love. In fact, my clients tend to say you've made me look younger with this service, so I'm in the business of making people beautiful and younger each time they come visit me. So this is a great benefit for me and my salon. It'S a two-in-one service, so you're refining, color and restructure izing. That hair. You can customize color treatments for your clients that they can't get anywhere else, and you can feel comfortable offering a very healthy opportunity with that's and green chemistry. Formulation, they're free of ingredients such as the toxic ammonia, PPD and resorcinol. So I have a feeling, there's gon na, be a ton of questions and I did want to say that I was going. I did mention earlier that I was going to talk a little bit about adding in the H melt, drops to the H vector, and you can do this with either the H nectar or the H color. But since we're on the topic of H nectar. Today, the H melts can be added to intensify any of your tones. So let's say you wanted to add or control some blue to maybe make a nice fashion color or you need to intensify the blue and your formula just so. It controls more of the orange you can add in the H melt drops to that to do so. We have them in an array of color such as we have red energy which can intensify all your red shades and so on. So you can add just a few drops - or you can add a dropper fold to make the more intense shades bright and pop. So it is a perfect way to also make a lot of colors you hadn't before so when we didn't have quite the all the level tens that we have today that we're launching today, we used to add some of the H melts to like level 9.0 to Make toners so now they've made them for us, but you can also Riis that in any of your color choices as well using the HML drops. So I know we've got some new packages that we'll be offering to you for the H nectar so that you can start playing with these, offering them to your clients and and showing them that how the hair can feel once they've worked with something. That'S so moisturizing and beneficial to the hair fabric time after time, so I'm fine! Oh, I talked to you earlier about all of the target customers that you can offer this to so don't forget to start trying new things and you really should be charging appropriately for this service because you're, not just toning here, you know it's. It'S super beneficial to anybody: that's pre, lighten their hair and now you're going to work with a toner to actually consider what fiber Eve UV. You have that you're working with now, because if you've bleached and now you're ready to tone that hair, wouldn't it be better if we had something, that's actually refurbishing that hair fabric as well so you're, not just toning. I mean anyone could just work with a toner, but now that you're taking it and elevating this into a new holistic manner, you've got something that works with the hair fabric, to regenerate that hair and while giving it that sparkly fashion effect, so very beautiful opportunity. To start adding to your service menu and really giving your customer something that they can walk away, feeling super beautiful and that you've customized a color treatment just for them. So I think it's a little more of an advanced technology so that you're able to start working with something that's truly advanced and start charging for it as well. I have a feeling we have a lot of questions so if you'll go ahead and start asking some of those questions in the questions box, I'd love to answer them. So, let's see processing you really shouldn't have any drip. So if you're working with something that's dripping, it may be overly saturated or it might be very, very hot. In your the room you're working with, I would suggest maybe ensuring that you should you've taken the bottles and rocked them so that all of the nectars and oils are working together in there. So that's not separating on you. So that's what I would. I would say there cuz, you really shouldn't, have any trip with this. With this line adding H screen, I would not add the H screen into this. I think it changes the consistency and also working with something that's already very. Very super, safe or conditioning and soothing for the scalp shouldn't need to add the H screen unless you're, adding it to the ears and around the hairline just to prevent any staining. That'S the way I would use it there so when toning does, the hair need to be dry, that's sort of a question. It'S a great question, there's different ways. I mean different applications and different results. So, typically, when I'm working with any toner type, I go ahead and squeeze all the excess moisture out of the hair, and I will then tone from there now, if you're only trying to shift the tone, you can do that at the shampoo bowl, while you've taken Out most of the excess moisture and go directly over it, there are times when I really need to not only tone, but I really need to make that Turner last. So, while I'm when I'm wanting to work with a toner, that's not just shifting a tone but truly toning or glossing that's when I actually go on dry hair or almost 100 % dry slightly damp. And I do it for the full 30 minutes. Because that's when I'm gon na get the longevity out of a toner when it's done for the proper timing, that's needed, I've had clients in myself state and sensitizes. More than H, color. I just want to make sure H. Screen won't affect performance. You know I haven't worked with H, screen being involved in this, because I just feel that it's so soothing. I haven't had that same concern. However, that might be a concern. Some of your clients are having when they're working with something you may want to look at the ingredients with them and see what they might be having a sensitivity to. I certainly haven't heard that myself, so I'm not certain how to answer either it just if there's a lot of customers, maybe it's the developer choice. It could be, I suppose, so that might be what you want to look at. First, I'm not exactly sure, because I find it doesn't Sal OTT more soothing, to be honest with you. Can I get the benefits of this color to share with clients and advertise absolutely. I definitely suggest it. I also suggest mentioning things on your social media posts that you're doing take pictures of your work show the before and afters, because it's a very obvious before and after when you can see the shine and the reflection from these tones and these shades from being so Multifaceted and because you're actually working and showing the hair fabric, it's it's got that sheer brightness to it versus something heavy and matte. So you'll see it in the pictures, so the benefits. Definitely we can obviously always share with you so that you can. You know pump this up to your clients and share with them what the whys behind it, because you know truly when you're working with something that's not just toning or not just glossing you're, not just covering Greg and you're charging a little more for it, because it Is so high-end and the whys behind it? You definitely want to make sure you mention that when you're talking to your clients about what you're, what you're working with so have the new lighter colors come out. Yet, yes, we just love our launching them today. That'S our level 10 series, the ten point, one ten point: two one: we have a ten point, two ten point, three two and a ten point: three one: along with the level eight point, three two and the five point: six six. So so would you go recommend going up a level when Tony, I always tote on level, because if I'm truly trying to tone something that means I'm trying to negate something else, so I'm merely trying to shift a little bit of a tone. Maybe I would consider going a level up, but I always tone on two on level of what I'm working with so if I've lifted them to a level eight, I use a level eight lifted them to a level nine. I tone with a level nine, but you know that's all in our eye as well as what we're looking at. You really need to get very specific when you're looking at hair fabric and levels, because I know a lot of people just kind of glance in it and thank God that looks like a level nine and it's truly a level eight. They didn't get what they will. After in their final result, and that's with any hair color line, I always recommend toning on level. I think it's truly important. If that's the reason you're working with a toner, then you should be using a non level choice when working with it. Can you add the H milk? Hmm, I would you you could use the H milk in between lightning and then using this as a toner, and that would be a beautiful option for calm ability for additional moisture for slip and shine and feel to the hair fabric. So, but I would not add it into your color, if that's what you're asking, because it's just going to dilute it down now, you can of course use the H milk to customize a developer choice. So, if you're trying to make a level twenty because you're out of it, you can eat equal parts, mix, H, milk and the H, catalyst, 30 volume and that's how you'd make that 20. So that's one way you can use the HTML. Is there an intro kit for the new colors we are? We have a new kit that Blondin kit that we put together. We also have another introductory kit and then the macdaddy kit, where you get one of everything, so do you prefer to tone on dry or wet hair once again, it kind of depends what I'm working with and what results I'm after I've done both ways. I never would consider the hair wet though I anything it's towel dried and the moistures primarily squeezed out, because I also want my the evenness of the product. So just really depends dry, hair you're going to absorb a lot more because there's nothing in it to you know to keep it out. It just kind of depends on what I'm after truly, but I took, I never knew wet hair. I always it might be towel dried, they, you know slightly damp, but you know it just depends on the porosity of that hair type too, and I want to make sure it's even from root n. Do we have to buy a whole new swatch book to get any swatches? No, I do believe. We'Ve got some packages that, if you purchase like, I believe the blondie package you'll get the new swatches. So no we have some opportunities for you there. So you do not mean to that would be too wasteful and we're an ego company. So I noticed a screenshot icon too late. Can I get those slide pages, otherwise sure, Michael? If you let us know what you're missing, we can certainly share with you. Whatever slides, this also will be played again for you within 24 hours. This is recorded today live, but you will have an opportunity to review it again later. Just for anything you may have missed. Where is this product? It is made in Bologna, Italy, where we have the biodynamic farming and all of the beautiful natural ingredients grown, and then we work with a steam distillation process and our chemistry labs there in Italy. So the finest pigments possible work we work with, as well as the best ingredients and, of course we stick to our standards of not working with ammonia and other. You know nasty elements or ingredients. How much would you charge for a standalone tone with this product? It kind of depends, of course, what demographic you're in truly, but you have to always consider the price of your. You know your time so whatever you charge for your time, for example, if it's a dollar a minute, you want to embed that in your service price, as well as the cost for the product. So you know how much are you having to use? You can divide that into the amount are the ounces that you're working with and so forth. Now the one huge thing I didn't mention when I was talking about mixing and formulating and processing, and not to all of that, you certainly want to use a scale, because accuracy is the best form of professional service in this industry and people that don't use a Scale to do their formulas or just sort of you know playing it by ear, so you really want to. If you want to get the best results possible and accurate, you don't want to. You always want to use a scale. You don't want to ever switch from that, because you need to know how much is matching each because you know having the right amount of catalyst to help. The oxidation of the pigments inside that hair fabric is is the most important to get the results you're after every time. So where is the corporate office here in the US? Well, simply, organic beauty is here in Florida and that's where I'm live today, but typically on the road of course, but today I decided to come in live for you in Florida, it's beautiful here right now or Wiggins for some rain. I suppose, but we are here in Florida and in fact, once again, we've got all of those educational opportunities that I mentioned coming in October October, 7th we have the OAH, color and H nectar, level 1 course here that you can take we'll do a workshop. We catering a lunch and so forth, so you can come and visit us and meet us in person here at our corporate offices. Simply organic beauty in Florida, if you'd like for October 7th and then we're following it up on the 8th with an O, a Karen treatments class, that's a new one that we're bringing to you to kind of close out 2018 and start looking in the 2019. For a lot of different educational opportunities as well, so so so I'm saying nine volume with this has lifted too much for me and to grip to gray blend a level six ending up very warm and light. Instead of seamlessly blending an aged milk be used to truly get no lift. Well, yes, you could definitely mix in the H milk to kind of bring down the nine volume now anytime, you're working with hair fabric. I don't care if you're working with this line or any other line, but finer hair types that may not have a lot of cuticle mass, you can see, lift you will expose underlying tones in the hair fabric, so you would see warm lightened hair and I have Had that happen, especially with fine to medium hair types at a level six, so certainly you can get mute that down by mixing in the H milk to buffer that nine-volt and then yes, you should get a seamless, no lift type of hair color experience so and I'M you know, of course, no no heat necessary. You would just want to process at room temperature and go ahead and make sure that you process for the thirty minutes versus forty. That'S my suggestions there. So if you have other questions, please type them in the comments box. We'Ve got it we're doing a live Q & A right now this is being recorded so that you can see the actual slides later. But this is a great opportunity to catch me. While I'm live and get all your questions answered so that you can jump into working with the New Age connector or any of the past families that are currently part of the line, so you can start seeing what customers might really benefit from having this I mentioned Anyone with hair loss or damaged hair types - this is a great way to customize, hair color for those clientele and and start to apply this treatment and coloring treatment into your service menu at your salons. You feel you get full gray coverage when mixing point O and other colors mixing. Equally, I do Karen. I have a lot of clients that are hundred percent white, but they have that very frizzy fuzzy type of coarse gray and I get a beautiful seamless level. Eight blond on most of those, ladies, that I've been doing a lot of blogging for them because hey I like to do those. It depends on, of course, their eye color and and the rest of that, but in its a perfect way to add enough color integrated in but make the hair still feel and look natural. So it's a seamless kind of coloring treatment that I can do for them. While actually benefiting that hair fabric and making it soft and shiny and very easy for them to style their, I may leave that on for 40 minutes. But I also have to remember remind myself that it could look dark on the hair as well, while it's processing. But yes, I do feel like. I get 100 % gray coverage, but it is more of a Sheerness to it. So I can see the fabric of the hair underneath versus has something very heavy and opaque. So, depending on what type of gray coverage or after I keep mentioning, you know it's, it's sort of the comparison between BB cream and foundational makeup, you're getting coverage with both, but it's just a different coverage with the timing. Is it possible to use in foils, high or low lights? I mean it really depends if you're putting highlights in you want to adjust your developer choice with the bleach, let's say so that you know that you're able to take everything out at the same time. You may just depends on how fast you work, but it really should not be on any longer than 40 minutes max when adding in the HTML drops to the H nectar. Would you take that additional amount from the h amount drops in a consideration when mixing the developer? It'S yeah. I mean it shouldn't be that much more. I don't think it's gon na weigh your scale that much more, but yes, I typically match I'm so excited for the seven new shades hi KY, but they are coming out more new shades in the future. If I'm looking for something I can use like a 10.0. Even lighter shades, a 9.0 H nectar still neutral, which new 10 shade would be good to use, or are they coming out with a 10-point, Oh in the future? I'M. I think that the ten point one looks super neutral to me because, as at a level 10, you really don't have a ton of pigment anyway. So I hope that they come continue to come out with more shades, because I'm in love with the H nectar line and what it does for the hair fabric that I'm working with, and I am able to charge accordingly for actually coloring and treating hair. My toners, I think that it's very expensive and awesome up service to offer my clients that I'm toning anyway, because I'm not when you're toning hair, you've already pre lightened it and it can feel a little bit. You know the fabric can often feel a little bit. Not so pretty right, so when I work with this series, instead of just toning, the color in the hair, I'm actually treating it, so I'm able to really offer them something an experience that no one else can sure I'd love for them to continue to add I'd, Love for them to make them in larger bottles. These are all things that, oh it listens to us quite honestly. We we get to meet with them on the constant we talked to their chemists all the time we bring these suggestions to them and, just like, we brought this suggestion to them of having a level 10 they've come out with all of these new shades for us. So I look forward to having more opportunities in the future and, like I said this is a very transparent company and brand that we're working with, which is why we think that they're so amazing to bring under the simply organic Beauty umbrella. But I do hope that they come out with an additional ten point. No, but in the meantime, I do find that the 10.1 or any of the 10 series are really where it's at, because I'm typically trying to neutralize something at that level anyway, and they being a level 10. There'S not a ton of pigment in there anyway, because it is so light. You you and an ecotone in southern Florida is sharing with you all as well that he charges 40 for nectar toner. So those of you asking pricing questions that might be something you want to reflect on, because 40 is a great great toning within H nectar because of all the good things it's doing, infusing that color treating that hair, helping with hair loss and so on and so Forth so are the new light colors only for toning, or can they be used to light and say I lift a 6 to a 10 with 40 volumes? I don't think I'd start with a level 6 for that, because you're really getting like 2 to 3 levels of lift out of the even with the 40 volume. So I would say I'm if they are more like a level 7. 8. Yes, you could certainly do that, keeping in mind. You know it's about the thickness or density of the hair type of fabric as well, because anything that has a ton of melanin in it and you're having to lift out all of that melon. And if it's thick and a lot of that, then you know, you may still see residual warmth and a level 10 even and that's when you may want to work with. Maybe the nine point one or something about nature, to do the same thing, yeah and Andy. Even shares with you something that's truly important when you're working with your clients, it's this line is about educating, you mean you're, not just going to go in the back room and slap a toner on anymore. I mean this is about actually working with the clients that you're attracting, because they want to know. Typically, you know being in the holistic hair tribe, you you're, attracting clients that are looking for a different experience than what they've ever had, where they're walking into a beauty salon that has a lot of toxic fumes or, and they want to know the whys. I mean these are educated customers that we're getting in our chairs all the time and they want to hear what you're working with they want to know. What sets you apart. They want to know that you're working when the coloring treatment - that's restructure, izing their hair ever since that first application, and so knowing the why and really becoming a thinking, hairdresser, a hairdresser or stylist. It not only gives that feeling of comfort for the client that you're working with, but they want to know and then that's how they spread. The word that are is if they understand what you're doing you're, not just hiding behind a color bar anymore, and so this line is about educating. So thank you for sharing that Andy and I see Ernest, is asking if it's vegan. Yes, it's cruelty-free and vegan. Thank you, so anyone else wanting to share with the masses here of these great holistic hairdressers that we have joined us all the way from Ireland, Canada, Florida everywhere. So it's exciting to see all of the people joining us from all over the world on these webinars and all of our educational platforms. So please continue to follow us join the tribe. If you haven't already it's a great place to see other beautiful work, there's a lot of stylists in the forum right now watching this webinar today that I learned from on the regular because they have done such beautiful, dramatic work using this brand and using our other Brands to really make hair fabric beautiful and to excite and ignite our industry. You know it's. We get stagnant in color in our color world and having an opportunity to really refurbish blend shades, respect that hair fiber while coloring it as well as it's it's really. It'S exciting to be a part of it and to see so many stylist and unite with one of each and every one of you. So I see someone not so asking right now. Sorry, I did not quite get. What is the H melt good for HML drops. Are going to enhance shade, so you can use them to brighten shades, make them more pop, more like the reds and so forth, or you can use them to neutralize. So you want to cool off something you might want to add some of the green harmony to you know, but remember, anytime, you add cool tones. You need probably less when you're controlling things, because they can take and and drag down your formula by even a level will they be chain plugs in color bottles to make it easier to remove. I have to use a needle nose pliers to remove these and can take five minutes sometimes mmm. I don't know that. I know it's what seals in the product so that it's it doesn't oxidize on you and actually stays very help very mix inside that bottle. You know I truly want to remind you guys, all to shake or rock those bottles get all of that in inside together, mixed fluidly, for you so make sure you do that, make sure that you seal those bottles, so nothing oxidizes, it's very, very important. So I can definitely mention that Karen, I don't know that answer for you. I currently I have a level seven that I lightened with a 9.1 and 30 volume and it comes out beautiful, but am it more gold than intended? Well, the new colors help a bit there, absolutely especially if you're working with shades of level 10, I would still say - maybe 9.1. You can always add one that some of the H melt like a tiny, tiny bit of the H melt to that too.
