In this session, Rusk Educator Katie Brenner demonstrates the "Starlight Technique," a high-impact bloniding method designed to create bold face-framing highlights and internal brightness with a soft, lived-in grow-out. She begins by detailing the essential sectioning strategy, emphasizing the importance of diagonal-forward sections along the hairline to avoid chunky results and achieve modern, blended dimension. The session dives deep into the application of tease-lights, where Katie explains how varying backcombing percentages from 25% to 100% allows stylists to control the amount of root depth and blend. Throughout the demonstration, she highlights the versatility of Rusk’s lightening portfolio, specifically the DeepShine Ultimate Blonde line, including the gentle cream lightener for compromised hair, the high-lift blue powder lightener, and the ammonia-free Brite White for on-scalp applications. Stylists will learn professional tips for maximizing saturation using foil boards, over-direction for seamless flow, and a unique "sandwich fold" for efficient processing. Katie also shares a critical post-service tip for removing backcombing using the Rusk 2-Minute Hair Mask to maintain hair integrity. This comprehensive class provides stylists with the practical skills needed to deliver luxury blonde results while significantly extending the time between client appointments.
