What is Nika Application Brush?

Nika Application Brush is NIKA's professional colour brush for applying hair colour, bleach and toner with precision, from the bowl to the section in clean, even passes. The bristles lay the mix evenly along the section and give full control at the roots, for neat partings and a sharp regrowth line. The ergonomic handle keeps the hand light and steady through long colour services, from the first section to the last.

Specifications

Who Nika Application Brush is for

• Colourists applying permanent colour, bleach and toner section by section.

For the Code Zero brushes and for the tools that prepare the mix, the comparison below shows the right choice.

Key features

• Bristles made for colour: they pick up the mix from the bowl and release it evenly on the section, for a clean, uniform application.
• Control at the roots: precise passes along the parting keep the product exactly where it belongs.
• Ergonomic handle: a steady, comfortable grip, section after section.
• Made for the colour bench: it pairs with the NIKA bowls and with Nika Mixer.

Results

Colour laid evenly from roots to ends, clean partings and a sharp regrowth line: the base for a uniform, bright colour result.

How to use Nika Application Brush

1. Prepare the mix in the bowl with the mixing ratio of the colour product in use.
2. Divide the hair into sections and clip away the sections not being worked.
3. Load the brush from the bowl and take off the excess against the rim.
4. Apply to the roots first, then from roots to ends as the protocol of the product requires, working in thin sections with regular passes.
5. Lift the section and apply on the other side, so both faces are covered.
6. Rinse the brush right after use, before the product dries between the bristles.

For professionals

• Service: permanent colour, root retouch, bleach, toner, and treatments applied section by section, for example Oxidizer mixes with the NIKA colour.
• At the station: at least two brushes per colour station: one per bowl when two formulas run side by side, such as roots and lengths or colour and toner, so the formulas never mix.
• Use with: the mix prepared in Nika Bowl or Nika Bowl Black and stirred with Nika Mixer.
• Formats: a single size.

FAQ

Which products is Nika Application Brush used with?

Permanent colour, bleach, toner, and masks or treatments applied section by section.

Is it suitable for root retouches?

Yes: the bristles follow the parting closely, for precise application right at the regrowth line.

Can one brush be used for two different mixes?

One brush per bowl keeps each formula separate; between two products, the brush is rinsed and dried first.

Is it also useful at home?

Yes, for masks and treatments applied section by section, with an even quantity along the lengths.

Material and care

Rinse the brush under lukewarm water right after use, before the product dries between the bristles. Work a little mild shampoo into the base of the bristles, rinse until the water runs clear and let it dry with the bristles facing down. Avoid leaving it to soak, hot surfaces and solvents. Replace it when the bristles splay or bend, so the application stays clean.
