CRYSTAL FILM FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Crystal Film is made of a unique see-through material so you can VIEW THE COLOUR AS IT DEVELOPS. This allows the stylist to easily correct dry spots, uneven colour development and prevent either over or under processing. It is EASY TO USE and will not tear so there is NO WASTE. No. When similar techniques are used, folding the sheet or layering one on top of the other, the cost of using Crystal Film is comparable or less than other weaving tools including foil, because there is NO WASTE. No. The application may actually take less time since there is no prior cutting and folding necessary. Because you can VIEW THE COLOUR AS IT DEVELOPS, there is no wasted time folding and unfolding to see which colour you applied last, there is little or no folding in the application itself. Crystal Film can also be used horizontally as well as vertically covering a larger area in less time. With Crystal Film, multiple colour applications can be done at the same time saving a great deal of time. For instance, while weaving the hair with Crystal Film you may also perform tinting and colour enhancing applications which dramatically reduces time spent in the chair. The developing process is generally quicker. We recommend following all manufacturers recommendations. The colour develops beautifully, quickly and evenly when using Crystal Film. There is no need to use heat. Heat may cause excess damage and can also cause uneven colour development. In addition, most stylists periodically check the developing progress by unfolding and opening the foil. Each time they do this, air is introduced, slowing the processing down. No. Crystal Film is easy to use with all current colour weaving techniques. In addition, advanced techniques are easier, for instance, virgin bleaching, chemical straightening and colour layering. It takes the same amount of sheets of foil, paper or foam sheets. If you layer, it takes two sheets and if you fold, it takes one sheet. Because Crystal Film is highly durable, it will not tear or lose its shape so there is NO WASTE. Yes. Unlike foil, no useable space is lost in folding. Crystal Film is also lightweight whether you are folding or layering the sheets. The stylist will ultimately have less slipping of the product and will be able to flip the sheets back and forth to check the colour processing. The size of sheet is very easy to use and is lightweight. It is very comfortable for the client and is great for colour touch ups, weaving short or long hair, as well as low lighting all lengths of hair. One of the most common problems with virtually all colour weaving tools is bleeding of the colour and leaking. Because of Crystal Film’s natural static conductivity, it adheres to itself and to the chemicals creating a seal. The static conductivity in Crystal Film is similar to the way Saran Wrap clings to itself or to containers. By leaving enough space between the colour application and the edges of the Crystal Film, colour bleeding and leaking will not occur. Excess heat can cause most liquids to run. This may cause unwanted colour bleeding and leakage. Since dryers are not needed to process hair colour when using Crystal Film, colour bleeding and leaking may be greatly reduced in most applications. Yes. Crystal Film can be used with all commonly used hair colours and chemical straighteners. Always follow all manufacturers’ instructions on mixing and processing. Crystal Film does not require learning brand new techniques. Crystal Film is so versatile; you can achieve greater results with even the most advanced colour applications. |
