Design where
to place the light
Every job starts with an intention: what you want to highlight, where you want to lighten and how much depth you want to keep. IRIS connects that intention with the application decisions made on the hair.
Three pillars working together
The tool allows selective application. The method organizes the design variables. The training helps you develop the judgment to combine and adapt them to each client.

The decision remains the professional's.
Work zones
Each area of the head can have its own intention. Choosing where to work lets you organize the lightening and keep depth, maintaining the coherence of the whole.
Partings
Straight, diagonal, circular and zigzag partings offer different ways of organizing the hair sections. Choosing among them is part of the work design.
Distance between partings
The distance between partings is the space between the sections worked. It is a different decision from the spacing between strokes within the same section.
Starts and ends
The start and the end define the stretch where you apply. You can plan the application near the root, in the mids or at the ends, depending on the design and your professional diagnosis.
Spacing
Spacing is the distance between the strokes within a section. With less distance, more strokes fit in the same width; with more distance, more gaps are left between them.
Patterns
The pattern organizes the relationship between the starting points. The strokes follow the direction of the hair; the whole can form a linear, descending, ascending, V or arrow pattern.
With and without zigzag
The zigzag alternates the starting points within a pattern. It lets you explore a different distribution without changing the direction of the strokes on the hair.
Stroke thickness
Thickness is the width of the application stroke. You can compare fine, medium and thick strokes while keeping the other decisions. Thickness and spacing are separate variables.
Explore. Learn to decide.
In IRIS Design you can visually explore the method's variables. With the IRIS Connect training, included with your IRIS, you can learn to use the tool and go deeper into its application.
