"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Elizabeth Muller owner of Liz's hair design in Hollywood Florida. And today were showing you how to do color on relaxed hair. I do have to tell you as I?m doing this now I?m taking these thin sections before I did any of this too we did have another consultation with this customer and let's talk about test strands. We did a test strand. sometime ago when you know she got color and I made sure that she was not allergic to color or had any problems with color you want to do that make sure the customer the customer is safe you know. Make sure that she is not allergic to color it shows that her strength of hair is strong and you can always get a combination of color and see what she needs at that time also so strength test is important when you're doing color and a I?m still applying color and I wanted you to go ahead and see this also as I?m talking because it is important an application of color is very important. Now if you don?t apply the color properly and the hair is thick it will not take well and you'll find spots later on so you want to make sure that you have a lot of color on there nice and thick and it's thin like that again ok this is the way you going to do it."
