- Milkshake Decologic Black Light for Natural or Neutral Blondes
Decologic Black Light is the dream of stylists, with its powerful cosmetic results that yield perfect, desirable cool blondes. This unique lightener is worth its place in your toolbox – why? Read on! What exactly is milkshake Decologic Black Light? It is a lightening cream with excellent lightening power, that neutralises warm tones during the lightening phase and keeps the hair structure in excellent condition. It is suitable for all lightening techniques. How does it neutralise warm tones so effectively? A combination of charcoal and special pigments in the formula are able to contrast the yellow-orange tones that can appear following lightening, and create a neutral final result. Does the hair still need to be toned afterwards? If the final goal is that of a neutral / cool blonde, no further toning step should be required. What if you want to apply a fashion colour afterwards? If you want to apply a fashion colour with a cool tone, this provides an ideal base for the perfect result. Does charcoal have other benefits? Yes. It is able to absorb polluting particles deposited from the environment, which can be potentially harmful to the skin and hair. These characteristics make the charcoal powder an excellent purifier. Why does this lightener have such a good cosmetic effect on the hair? In addition to all the active ingredients already present in all the lighteners of the milk_shake decologic system, organic cranberry extract, clay and silk proteins, argan oil and beeswax have also been added to the formula. These make the hair fibre more shiny and smooth and increase manageability. What about protection during lightening? Milkshake Decologic Black Light goes a step further! It contains a special fruit oligosaccharide sugar complex which, thanks to its chemical / organic structure, actually repairs as well as protects the hair during the lightening process. Is it easy to apply? Yes, you will love working with Decologic Black Light. It doesn’t drip or expand and maintains the perfect level of fluidity during application. THE COMBINATION OF LIGHTENING STRENGTH, DARK PIGMENTS AND PRECIOUS OLIGOSACCHARIDES CREATE PERFECT BLOND SHADES, LEAVING HAIR HEALTHY AND NOURISHED Do you want to discover the power of Decologic Black Light in creating your perfect cool blondes?

scar Education is thrilled to present another Online Look and Learn Course “Perspective is Key” with Las Vegas stylist, Ira Pope Sage. Ira is a 2021 Southwest Hairstyling Awards Finalist for Asian Hairstylist of the Year and Hairstylist of the Year. He was named Top Hairdresser in Las Vegas 2 years in a row. He educated and traveled all over the globe for Paul Mitchell 12 years. Always being attracted to simplicity and time he has created the Clock Cutting Concept as a way to simplify haircutting. He’s an Independent stylist and also teaches his Perspective is Key hands on cutting classes. His goal is to give hairdressers a different way to look at cutting hair and creating a functional shape. Catch Ira and Andrew chatting on Instagram LIVE on 30 August on @irapopesage, and again on the 6 September on @____scar____ giving you the chance to hear a bit more about Ira and also to ask some questions about the upcoming online course he will be giving on the 13 September. Scar asked Ira about his upcoming online Live Webinar titled: “Perspective is Key” Ira had this to say: “Perspective can be the difference between success/fail, owning/renting or easy/hard. If you are like me and you prefer the first half to each of those differences, you’ll love this class! My method is original, simple and visual. I teach my “Clock Cutting Concept.” Time is the most important thing we have in life and clocks are what we use to measure it, so that is where I drew my inspiration. We’ve all seen and used plenty of analog clocks in our lives. How many times have you utilized a protractor in your life? Utilizing the Clock Concept you will learn a layered disconnected shape. This is my take on a shag. We cut it with scissors instead of a razor. This lesson will show you the importance of body position and where to stand depending on the shape of your layers. It will also even teach you where to stand when sectioning for no resistance when drawing your line. It will teach the importance of the mirror and how to properly utilize it as a tool/indicator. It will also teach you the importance of your combing direction and what you will get from it! This one lesson can open your mind, letting you see how simple things can be when you think inside the box, work the rules and have proper boundaries. Wayne Dyer said, “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.” This Clock Cutting Concept will change how you look at cutting hair and trust, perspective is key.” DIARISE THESE : 30 August 2021 | 18h00 (CET) – Live chat: Meet Ira 6 September 2021 | 18h00 (CET) – Live chat: What to expect in Perspective is Key BOOK NOW!
