1. Surface painting is a technique where only the surface of the hair is saturated, not the ends or underneath of each section.

2. This technique is perfect for guests who want an all-over bright glow, not clients looking for saturated brightness.

3. When choosing your section size, it is important to understand how much depth you will have remaining after the surface has been painted. This will be your built-in lowlight and will give you that dimension.
