1. How To Prep, Section & Control Brightness With The Dryer
- Prep: AirTouch works best on an even and sleek canvas, so Danilo always uses a clarifying shampoo and blow-dries the hair straight to ensure even saturation.
- Sectioning: It’s super important to work in clean, thin sections for AirTouch so the lightener can penetrate the hair easily.
- Control Brightness: Determine how light or dark you want the ends results to be. Based on that, adjust how much hair you blow-dry out of each section.
- For brighter blondes, push less hair out so there is more hair in the foil.
- For darker blends, push more hair out so less hair is in the foil.

2. Where To Direct Airflow For Consistent Blends
The KEY to AirTouch is keeping the technique as consistent as possible—this will make the retouch application process seamless. To ensure this, Danilo combs through each thin, clean section with a fine tooth comb and ALWAYS directs the airflow at the root.
3. AirTouch For Corrective Color
Using AirTouch to blend out unwanted yellow, heavily highlighted hair? Danilo adds depth by alternating thin sections: foils with lightener, and shorter pieces between with tbh – true beautiful honest Permanent Color by Schwarzkopf Professional. This will add depth and erase previous harsh highlights or banding. Just check out these corrective formulas below!

4. Toning AND Glossing Blondes With Permanent Haircolor
AirTouch and blonde balayage clients expect low-maintenance outgrowth, but you want to lift their base—what do you do? Danilo uses tbh – true beautiful honest Permanent Color to shift the base without causing a harsh line of demarcation during the outgrowth process. Then, he mixes another formula using the tbh – true beautiful honest Tone Softener. This allows the permanent color to shift from opaque to translucent, transforming it into the perfect gloss formula.
