Product Feature: A Cotton Coil for Balayage?!

The Intrinsics Cotton Coil is more than just nails and perms! 

Instead of wrapping colored sections in foils, did you know that stylists sometimes use 100% cotton coil strips? You can use these strips to keep the painted pieces divided and separated from the rest of the hair while doing the balayage technique. Using 100% cotton coil strips, ensures your balayage technique will be a success. 


No Demarcation

The strips help you control where the color goes, helps protect the client's scalp and, one of the most important features, is that it helps you prevent any lines of demarcation from occurring. “I love demarcation!” -Said by literally no one ever! Skip the hat and show off those beautiful balayage locks! And if you can’t get to your stylist on a regular basis (thanks COVID!), using the 100% cotton coil strips can really help to alleviate demarcation lines you may get in your hair from at home treatments. 

Cotton Is Queen

You can use the 100% cotton coil strips in conjunction with the balayage foils or wraps.  You can also use the 100% cotton coil strips by themselves, as seen here in this awesome tutorial from a cosmetologist.
