Introduction
Magnifica
The MAGNIFICA collection draws its inspiration from the 4 corners of the world. We studied
the New York, Paris and Milan runways for upcoming trends, but we also went through different
social media outlets, such as Facebook, Instragram and Pinterest, to find the hottest current
styles from every continent. The result is a luxurious collection with trendy and energizing
colours that is easily adaptable to daily life through Oligo Professionnel products.
Each of the four trends presented in this collection has a distinct personality and a unique
signature that will meet the demands of every type of client. We invite you to step into the
opulent and colouful world of MAGNIFICA!

The Modern Bardot
Naturally whimsical, the
bohemian wants everything
in life to be simple. Earth
tones, braids and scarves
are her trademark.
Cut
02. Create 6 sections. Sections 1, 2, 5, and 6 (back) are convex
diagonals, and sections 3 and 4 (top) are concave diagonals. Each
section will be distributed with a 90 degree projection using the
point-cutting technique to achieve a progressive pattern.
In order to obtain a nice gradation, it’s necessary to create 2 guides
to create this cut.
01. View of sectioning
Colour
01. Starting at the back part of the head, divide the hair into 4 sections (ear to ear and front to
back). Secure these sections using clips.
02. Starting at the back, take down section 1 (back left), divide this section at ear level and
clip away the top, begin foiling 3 inches away from the scalp.
03. Take a 2 inch wide section and place lightener formula 1 on the outer left side of strand
using light brush strokes. Be careful to not get lightener on the middle of strand. Continue
to outer right side of strand and lightly brush the lightener formula 2 on the length being
cautious not to get lightener on middle of strand.
04. Using a clean colour brush, blend both sides lightly in X motion movements. The X motion will create a blending effect, resulting in different hues and levels of lightening. Repeat
this for 3 to 6 sections (depending on thickness of hair) which will lie on top of each other.
05. Proceed to other half of head. Do not close the foils. Leaving them open and lying on top
of each other allows better control when processing.
06. Follow the same process for both sides and front, always keeping the colour splashes at
ear level or lower to create a luminous effect.

Note:
For a more natural look remain within 2 levels of base colour. This will
allow you to achieve a natural sun kissed effect.
For bolder effects, lighten 3 to 4 levels lighter than base colour.
