Front Blond Air Touch
The result and the process
Front Blond Air Touch is a coloring technique that creates natural, seamless highlights around the face, ideal for clients with natural hair who want a subtle effect without a visible root line. The course demonstrates how to use a blow dryer and precise sectioning to create a three-dimensional color that works with the natural hairline and avoids the “highway” effect—gaps at the temples when the hair is pulled back.
Bartłomiej Lacz guides you through the entire coloring process step by step: from analyzing your natural hair and consulting with you, through his signature method of dividing the hair into uneven sections at the crown and temples, all the way to the actual application of the lightener using the Air Touch technique. You’ll see how to consciously adjust the shape of the sections to the hair density and hairline to achieve an even, dense blonde shade at the front that blends naturally into the rest of the hairstyle.
In this course, you'll learn:
- The uneven division of the "lightning bolt"-shaped sections – why an irregular line is the key to a visually even look when styling up your hair
- Precision blow-drying: how to style shorter hair to achieve a perfect 50/50 balance between highlighted and natural strands
- Safe application of a lightening product using a comb – how to hold the comb and the strand to apply the product close to the roots without leaving streaks
- Technique for folding and securing the foil: how to create an "aerodynamic" shape that won't open up while working on the next section
- Creating a gradation of highlights – how to adjust the distance from the roots in successive layers to achieve a brighter front and a smooth transition toward the back
- Using barber's cotton as a barrier to prevent the product from running onto the forehead
- The complete formula for toning to a pure, natural blonde (Schwarzkopf Vibrance) without dulling the color or creating cool, unnatural tones
After this course, you’ll be able to consciously design sections for the Front Blond technique, tailoring them to each client’s individual hairline. The Air Touch technique will become a reliable tool for you to create natural, three-dimensional highlights that look fresh for months and eliminate the problem of visible roots at the temples.
