 Hey guys, my name's Brian here and I'm here with your second tip on the 14 steps to becoming better hair colorists. Today I wanted to go over a couple of tips and tricks that might help you out with your single process retouches. I think one of the first and most important tips that I can help give you is just to work cleanly. And that sounds simple and it sounds like something you might automatically think oh yeah I do, but if you really pay attention to your work I see it way too often where a guest will come in with just a half inch of regrowth and the stylist will sit there and think they're being time efficient and before you know it they're sitting there playing color all the way down through the mid shafts of the hair in a very sloppy manner. And there's a couple of reasons that that's just not helping. For one, there's no need to process hair that doesn't need to be colored in the first place. So that rolls into my second tip on why it's great to work cleanly. When I work with my guests, I like to work off of their natural part rather than the standard four segments that we tend to deal with when it comes to hair. And the reason for that is when those, when that color starts processing, that's a great opportunity to talk to them about upgrading their service. Whether it's painting in some extra highlights or applying color through the ends, if you've been working off of their natural part with that color, it's going to give you the opportunity to add those hand-painted highlights and put them exactly where they need to be because you already have that part in there. My third tip for picking up the pace a little bit with your single process retouch is going to be working from the bottom of your panel to the top rather than top to bottom. The way I do it, I hold my brush in my right hand when I apply colors. So I'm holding the entire panel with my left and I hold it up, start from the bottom and then apply all the way through the top. It really does help to pick up a little bit of time so that you can definitely find that extra time in your day. Alright, thank you guys.
