           Frosting: Frosting, also known as frosting with a cap or frosting cap, involves pulling strands of hair through
           a highlighting cap and applying bleach or lightener to create highlights. This technique is commonly used for
           achieving subtle, natural-looking highlights.
           Procedure
           1  Prepare the Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. If the hair has been recently washed, make sure it’s completely
              dry before beginning the frosting process.
           2  Select the Highlighting Cap: Choose a highlighting cap that fits snugly on the client’s head. The cap should
              have small holes through which strands of hair can be pulled.
           3  Section the Hair: Divide the hair into sections using hair clips or ties. This will help you work systematically
              and ensure even distribution of the highlights.

           4  Place the Highlighting Cap: Position the highlighting cap securely on the client’s head, making sure it covers
              all the hair evenly. Adjust the cap to ensure it sits comfortably and securely in place.
           5  Pull Strands Through the Cap: Use a hook or needle to pull small sections of hair through the holes in the
              highlighting cap. The sections of hair that are pulled through will be lightened to create highlights.
           6  Mix the Lightener:  Prepare the lightener  or bleach according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the
              lightener with the appropriate volume of developer in a non-metallic bowl until smooth and well blended.

           7  Apply the Lightener: Using an Applicator brush or comb, apply the lightener to the exposed sections of hair
              that have been pulled through the highlighting cap. Make sure to saturate the hair evenly from root to tip.
           8  Process the Lightener: Allow the lightener to process for the recommended amount of time, usually between
              20 to 45 minutes, depending on the desired level of lightening and the client’s hair type.
           9  Monitor the Color Development: Check the color development regularly to ensure that the highlights are
              lifting to the desired level. Keep in mind that the processing time may vary depending on the starting hair color
              and the condition of the hair.





























           10 Rinse and Condition: Once the desired level of lightening is achieved, rinse the lightener from the hair with
              lukewarm water until the water runs clear.Apply a color-safe conditioner to the hair and leave it on for a few
              minutes before rinsing again. This will help to lock in moisture and keep the hair healthy and hydrated.
           11 Style the Hair: Style the hair as desired using heat styling tools or air drying. You can also add additional
              styling products to enhance the overall look.

           Frosting is a versatile hair coloring technique that can be customized to achieve various levels of brightness and
           contrast in the hair.
