ALFAPARF MILANO introduces
ESSENZA an innovative technique inspired by one of the most versatile materials in nature: glass
IDEAL FOR: • Reinventing the “subtle blending” effect by making it multifaceted. • Proposing an alternative to the classic golden shades. • Giving personality to long and medium cuts. • Any straight and wavy hair style. Nothing in nature evolves as glass: originating from powder, it becomes a liquid, and finally a solid. In this technique, color merges and changes throughout the hair.
