LIGHTEN UP

The lightening system that’s designed to get your client’s locks lighter and brighter with less damage and more natural-looking results

There’s a reason why Meche highlighting techniques are popular right now – they lead to more natural-looking, subtler highlights all without comprising hair health. Ideal for clients who want a sun-kissed look – they are just what you need to enhance your salon's reputation for delivering high-quality and beautiful results.

Did you know that Meche can contribute to a gentler lift during the lightening process, reducing the risk of hair damage? One of the factors that prevent clients from colouring their hair is worries about compromising their hair health, but explaining the benefits of a Meche technique helps to position your service as one that prioritises haircare and integrity.

What exactly is Meche?

NXT’s powder is formulated specifically to be used as part of a two-part system, along with meche (instead of foil), to prevent quick drying and ensure a gentler lift. Meche bleach is commonly employed in a technique known as 'meche highlighting,' where individual sections of hair are isolated using meche before the bleach is applied. This method allows for precise application and can result in a more natural look. Meche bleach is often used for highlighting or for lightening small sections of hair.

Since Meche helps prevent quick drying, stylists may have more time for precise application without the rush. This can contribute to efficient time management, allowing the salon to accommodate more clients and potentially increase overall business.

NXT Meche Extra Lightening System

NXT’s low-ammonia formulation is a gentle yet power ful lightening system that lifts the natural colour of the hair by up to 5 levels. Although it is ideal for all highlighting techniques, it’s particularly brilliant for freehand balayage and foilyage. The lightening system is made of two components; a tube and a sachet. Ideal for both use in the salon and in the freelance market, it allows for precise application to individual sections of hair, enabling stylists to create customised looks tailored to each client's preferences, resulting in a more personalised, bespoke result.

How to use

Mix 30ml NXT Meche Extra Lightening Cream (tube) with one sachet (50g) NXT Meche Extra Lightening Powder and 30-60ml NXT Cream Developer depending on the consistency required. Leave up to 35 minutes, making sure to check regularly.
