Customization Coloring Tress Couture Pieces We recommend customizing the Tress Couture pieces to perfectly match your guest’s natural hair. Our human hairpieces will give you the creative freedom to create an exact match or any desired hair color. These 10 natural shades, 5 mixed dimensional tones and 4 fun colors can create endless variety. • •
• • •
For the best results select the color that is closest to the desired end result. Work with a small test strand before applying color to Tress Couture products to make sure the color performs as expected on the hair. Keep in mind second hair may respond to your formulation differently due to the previous processes it has undergone. To achieve true consistent color we recommend that you only deposit color 2-3 levels different from the original color. We do not recommend bleaching or lightening the hair as this can compromise the integrity of the hair. Color Applied directly onto the base of the unit will stain the mono-mesh base. Foiling to avoid the base is an option to keep color away from said material.
Suggestions to color the pieces to match your client’s hair: • • •
Create a slight root to mimic natural hair regrowth Add some lowlights, which will create natural dimension Tone or Glaze to achieve an exact color
*Please Note: Damage due to chemical processing on Tress Couture pieces will void the warranty.
Tips Front and Back Identifying the front side of our Tress Couture top of the headpieces is very simple. Flip the unit over and look for a section on the perimeter of the piece that has hair hand tied on the underside of the Poly-Band. Under venting is placed at the front perimeter of the unit so the edges will disappear into the hair, offering an undetectable result. Clipping into the Hair Teach your client to back comb their hair if they have fine hair or trouble getting the clips to securely fasten. Back combing the hair will offer the clip a sturdy base to attach to and will prevent slippage. Placing excessive hair in the clips can create difficulty in fastening. Removing the clip and placing a smaller section of hair within the closure easily solve this.
Care Proper maintenance is essential in ensuring the longevity of Tress Couture pieces. Please be sure to share the recommended at home maintenance and products with your guest. Tress Couture pieces maintained as instructed will last for 6 to12 months from the date of purchase. For cleaning we recommend: Remove your Tress Couture piece to shampoo and condition gently, do not scrub. Use Hotheads Clean and Smooth which is formulated specifically to nourish and revitalize second-hair. Restore Keratin Rejuvenation can be placed in the hair wet or dry before styling Hotheads Silky Smooth can be used as a treatment for blonde hair or hair needing hydration. Daily wear Tress Couture should be maintained using the guidelines above every 3 to 5 days. Sporadic or infrequently worn pieces can be maintained as needed to remove excess buildup or residue from the hair.
