Paneling: Paneling involves dividing the hair into sections and applying contrasting colors to each section. This
technique creates bold, statement-making looks with distinct panels of color throughout the hair.

Procedure
1 Consultation: Begin with a thorough consultation with your client to understand their desired look, hair type,
and any previous color treatments. Discuss the colors they want to incorporate and determine the placement
of the panels.
2 Sectioning: Divide the hair into clean sections using clips or hair ties. The number and size of sections will
depend on the desired outcome and the client’s hair thickness and length.
3 Preparation: Prepare the hair by shampooing and conditioning if necessary. Ensure the hair is completely dry
before starting the coloring process.

4 Color Selection: Choose the contrasting colors for the panels. These can be bold and vibrant or subtle and
natural, depending on the client’s preferences.

5 Application: Apply the chosen colors to each section of hair. This can be done using various techniques such
as foiling, balayage, or painting. Ensure that the color is applied evenly and saturate the hair thoroughly for
vibrant results.
6 Processing: Allow the color to process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically ranges
from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the brand and type of color used.
7 Rinsing: Once the processing time is complete, rinse the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water
runs clear.
8 Conditioning: Apply a color-safe conditioner to the hair to restore moisture and improve manageability. Leave
the conditioner on for a few minutes before rinsing it out.
9 Styling: Style the hair as desired using heat tools or air drying. This will help showcase the paneling and
create a finished look.

10 Aftercare: Advise the client on proper aftercare to maintain the vibrancy and longevity of their new color. This
may include using color-safe shampoos and conditioners, avoiding excessive heat styling, and scheduling
regular touch-up appointments.
