The Custom Curly Lightening Methodology
Curly hair should NEVER feel like a one size fits all color service.
The Custom Curly Lightening Methodology is my approach to creating dimensional, intentional color specifically for curly and textured hair.
After years of working behind the chair as a curly hair specialist, I’ve learned that traditional highlighting placements don’t always translate the same way once the hair curls, shrinks, separates, and moves. Where we place brightness matters. How we section matters. How the client actually wears their curls matters.
This guide takes you inside the way I think about curly hair color.
I’m breaking down the techniques, sectioning, placements, and thought process I use to customize lightening services based on the individual curl pattern and the result I’m trying to create. Rather than giving you one placement to copy on every client, I want to teach you how to understand the why behind your placement so you can make better decisions on every head of curls that sits in your chair.
Inside, you’ll learn how I approach dimensional curly hair color, strategic brightness, highlight and lowlight placement, customized sectioning, and creating color that looks intentional when the hair is worn naturally curly.
This guide is perfect for:
• Curly hair specialists ready to expand into color
• Colorists who want to become more confident working with curly and textured hair
• Hairstylists who understand traditional highlighting but struggle to translate those techniques onto curls
• Stylists who want to create dimensional, customized curly hair color
• Anyone ready to stop following the exact same foil pattern on every curly client and start making intentional placement decisions
This isn't about giving you another foil map to memorize.
I want to teach you how to think like a curly hair colorist.
Because when you understand how curls live, move, shrink, and separate, you can start creating color specifically for them.
