Airbrushing haircolor is gaining popularity - and Kenra Color Ambassador Guy Tang hits the ground running by offering us this exclusive how-to on his clouding technique which utilizes airbrushing.
The clouding technique, which he demonstrates in the video, creates an airy effect of haircolor on the hair that you cannot achieve with a coloring brush. Normal coloring brushes create harsh lines - airbrushing creates a "smokey" look in the hair, says Tang.
Tang says that utilizing airbrushing in your coloring business allows you to blur in more shades for your clients to create a whole new look. "Clients will pay whatever it costs when they feel like they are getting an exclusive treatment and clouding creates indescribable color placement."
In the how-to, model Kasey came in with brassy/yellow/green roots and previous silver color. Tang starts off by touching up her color with Kenra Color Demipermanent Silver Metallics - Tang's new color obession.
"You should know by now my metallic obsession with the new Kenra Professional Silver and Violet metallics in Demi and Permanent Colors. I gave Kasey the beautiful silver hair but we didn't stop there. I airbrushed color on her hair using the Kenra Color creatives Violet, Pink, Blue and Magenta with Porosity Equalizer. What do you guys think of her color and this technique?
Guy Tang demonstrates his clouding technique by airbrushing Kenra Color onto the hair.
You have to watch to see the rest. Learn how you can incorporate airbrushing and Kenra Color into your salon - just like Tang!
