           Scrunching and Comb Technique: Scrunching and comb techniques are used to create texture and dimension
           in the hair by applying hair color or lightener and then scrunching or combing the hair to distribute the color
           unevenly. This technique results in a natural, lived-in look with soft, blended highlights or lowlights.
           Procedure:
           1  Prepare the Hair: Start with clean, dry hair that has been sectioned and prepared for coloring. Ensure that the
              hair is free of any styling products or residue.
           2  Select Colors: Choose the colors you want to incorporate into the hair. You can opt for contrasting shades
              for a bold look or similar tones for a more subtle effect. Consider the client’s skin tone, natural hair color, and
              desired outcome when selecting colors.
           3  Mix Color: Prepare the hair color according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the color thoroughly in a
              bowl or Applicator bottle, ensuring it is evenly blended.



































           4  Apply Color: Begin by sectioning the hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties. Take one section
              of hair and apply the chosen color to the mid-lengths and ends using a brush or Applicator. Ensure that the
              color is evenly distributed throughout the section.
           5  Scrunching: Once the color is applied to the section of hair, use your fingers to scrunch the hair upward
              towards the scalp. This motion helps to blend the color and create a textured effect. Continue scrunching until
              you achieve the desired texture and color saturation.
           6  Comb Through: After scrunching each section, use a wide-tooth comb to gently comb through the hair from
              roots to ends. This helps to distribute the color evenly and blend any harsh lines.
           7  Repeat: Continue applying color, scrunching, and combing through each section of hair until you’ve covered
              the entire head. Take your time and work systematically to ensure consistent results.

           8  Processing Time: Once all the color is applied, allow it 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.
           9  Rinsing: After the processing time is complete, rinse the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water
              runs clear. Follow up with a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to lock in the color and nourish the hair.
           10 Styling: Style the hair as desired using heat tools or allow it to air dry naturally. The scrunching and comb
              technique will enhance the texture and dimension of the hair, creating a beautifully blended and multi-tonal
              effect.
