SEARCHJoey Figueiredo says his greyage technique is designed to give life back to the hair.
To avoid flatness and dullness, stylist Joey Figueiredo has created a greyagé technique.
Using two photos for inspiration, Figueiredo used his greyagé technique on his sister-in-law recently, and the result was a gorgeous head of hair.
"My greyagé technique is to give life back to the hair by creating customized 100% grey coverage formulas and adding dimension to the hair to give versatility, shine and moisture to my clients hair while letting the hair grow out in a soft and natural way, he says.
Figueiredo adds, "You don't have to add hi/lowlights every time. You would usually just retouch the grey regrowth every four to six weeks. Every 12-16 weeks you would then do the full Greyagé again depending on the clients hair regrowth which should be very soft and blended."
Depending on how fast the client grows out, Figueiredo does a "color part touch-up" every three weeks, in which he mixes 10g of the client's base formula and applies it to the temples and part line. The client then goes home and washes it out.
"I do that is because I know their formula, and it's better than them touching it up with a box formula I don't know and will perhaps have to fix later on," he says. "It helps them stretch out their color a few weeks, and I still know they are using my services as well. Plus it only takes 10-15 minutes to apply.
Below, is how Figueiredo cut and styled his client's hair along with the color formula:
The Cut
I mix my cutting between precision cutting on wet hair then detail cutting on dry.
Cutting Step 1: Cut the layers by taking each vertical section to a 90 degree angle
Cutting Step 2: Take each side section back to the first section and over directing
Cutting Step 3: Cut the perimator last to the desired length
Cutting Step 4: Detail while dry, cross-checking and framing the face
The Style
Styling Step 1: Shampoo and condition with EVO Ritual Salvation
Styling Step 2: Apply EVO Love Touch to detangle, add shine and slip
Styling Step 3: Add a quarter size amount of EVO Lock Down and Spray five pumps of EVO Happy Campers. Blend together with palms and apply evenly throughout the hair.
Styling Step 4: Blowdry with the Dyson Supersonic on low pressure, high heat
Styling Step 5: Use a Cloud Nine Flat Iron to flat iron curl the hair on a temperature of 350 degrees
Styling Step 6: Comb Out with EVO's wide tooth comb "ROY"
Styling Step 7: Finish to set with EVO Miss Malleable Flexible Hairspray
Styling Step 8: Spritz EVO Love Touch to areas you want to highlight (for pictures)
