INTRODUCTION

Welcome to your homemade meching guide!

Do you dream of having that natural, luminous balayage, those golden highlights that give that "I'm back from vacation" effect? But you don't want to pay €200+ at the hairdresser's every 3 months?

You've come to the right place.

Everything is scientifically verified, but explained simply. Because you deserve the truth, not empty promises.

Ready? Here we go! 🤍

PART 1: THE PROBLEM OF SALONWORK

💔 THE BILL THAT HURTS

130€ to 250€ for a sweep. And in 2-3 months? You have to go back

The math is simple:

• → 200€ x 4 times a year = 800€ minimum
• → Not counting "repairing" treatments sold in salons

🔬 WHAT WE DON'T TELL YOU AT THE SHOW

Sweeps use an aggressive chemical cocktail that has NOTHING TO DO WITH OMAD'S spray.

Here's what REALLY happens to your hair in the salon:

1. AMMONIA FORCES OPENING

Ammonia (or its alternatives MEA, ethanolamine) raises the pH to 10-11 (ultra-alkaline). At this pH, cuticle scales lift violently.

Imagine tiles on a roof all lifting at once. That's exactly right.

2. PEROXIDE IN AN ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT = FORCED DECOMPOSITION

In this ultra-alkaline environment, hydrogen peroxide (9-12%) breaks down instantly and intensely attacks the hair structure.

It's this COMBINATION (peroxide + ammonia + alkaline pH) that creates the damage

3. OTHER CHEMICAL AGENTS

Sweeps also contain:

• → Persulfates (chemical gas pedals)
• → PPD (para-phenylenediamine)
• → Multiple alkaline agents
• → Synthetic fragrances and preservatives

Résultat : Ultra-rapid transformation (immediate salon results), but major, irreversible structural damage

🔄 THE INFERNAL CYCLE

Month 1 : Beautiful sweep. You are delighted.

Month 2: Roots growing back. It's starting to show.

Month 3: Dull, tangled hair. You go back to the hairdresser for a new balayage + "repair treatment".

Résultat : Each sweep does a little more damage. Salon "treatments" don't REPAIR, they temporarily mask the damage. You're stuck in a cycle of destruction-camouflage-destruction.

⚠️ THE TRUTH ABOUT DAMAGED HAIR

Here's a truth few people will tell you: Dead hair can't be repaired.

Unlike your skin, which regenerates, a hair is a dead structure. Once the cuticle is damaged, it doesn't grow back. Once the disulfide bridges are broken, they can't be recreated.

Masks, serums and "miracle treatments" only do:

• → Temporarily fill holes in the cuticle
• → Smooth artificially with silicones
• → Moisturize superficially

As soon as you stop these products, the damage reappears. The ONLY real solution: cut and let healthy hair grow back

PART 2 : THE OMAD'S SOLUTION FOR HOME-MADE CHEESE

🌟 PIOUPIOU'S RECIPE: 95% NATURAL

In 1954, Pioupiou didn't have a laboratory. She had her kitchen, her intuition, and 70 years of family experience ahead of her.

Her discovery? A simple, natural recipe that gently reveals childhood blondness.

70 years later, science has confirmed what Pioupiou already knew: his recipe works, and it preserves hair.

🌸 THE KEY ROLE OF FLOWERS

Chamomile and cornflower flowers are NOT there just to look pretty.

CAMOMILLE :

• → Apigenin : Inhibits melanin production (natural lightening)
• → Quercetin: Protects hair structure
• → OMAD'S signature warm golden highlights

BLEUET :

• → Anthocyanins : Neutralize orange tones
• → Soothing properties for the scalp
• → Softening tones for harmonious results

These flowers WORK in synergy with stabilized peroxide to create gradual, natural, non-aggressive lightening.

🎯 WHY 5% STABILIZED PEROXIDE?

Pioupiou found the perfect dosage. Science confirmed it 70 years later.

AT 5%, WITHOUT ammonia, WITHOUT alkaline medium, WITHOUT aggressive chemical agents :

• → Peroxide remains stable and mild
• → It does not decompose instantly (no forced reaction)
• → It gradually reveals lighter tones without damaging the structure
• → Hair retains its integrity, softness, shine

⚠️ THE CRITICAL DIFFERENCE WITH SALON BALANCING

This is NOT the same thing. It is NOT the same process. It is NOT the same result on your hair.

💛 What our customers say about the condition of their hair :

🚫 WHAT OMAD'S SPRAY IS NOT

Let's be clear about what you will NEVER find in OMAD'S Spray:

• ❌ NO ammonia (the kind that forces the cuticle to open violently)
• ❌ NO MEA or ethanolamine ("ammonia-free" alternatives that damage even more)
• ❌ NO persulfates (aggressive chemical gas pedals)
• ❌ NO PPD (para-phenylenediamine, known allergen)
• ❌ NO alkaline medium (natural pH, no forced decomposition)
• ❌ NO synthetic resin
• ❌ NO heavy silicones that mask damage

✅ WHAT IT REALLY IS

A grandmother's recipe created in 1954, perfected over 70 years, and validated by modern science.

95% natural ingredients that work IN HARMONY with your hair to gradually reveal its childhood blonde, without ever forcing it, without ever damaging it.

OMAD'S spray is not "just €40 peroxide"

It's 70 years of family transmission, a formulation balanced to the gram, and the legacy of Pioupiou who knew that beauty should never come at the expense of your hair's health.

🔬 OUR DIFFERENT APPROACH

OMAD'S Lightening Spray + Wick Comb = the perfect combination for professional homemade highlights.

And you know what? She was right. ✨

💡 HOW DOES IT REALLY WORK?

The simplified mechanism:

1. APPLICATION

The spray gently penetrates the hair cuticle (the outer layer), naturally, without forcing.

2. GENTLE PROGRESSIVE OXIDATION

Stabilized 5% peroxide gradually transforms the melanin (pigments) in your hair. Dark pigments (eumelanin) gradually break down, revealing the lighter tones beneath.

3. HEAT ACTIVATION

The heat of the hairdryer slightly accelerates the process WITHOUT damaging it. It's a gentle, controlled, respectful activation

4. PROTECTION BY FLOWERS

Throughout the process, chamomile and cornflower protect, soothe and guide tones towards OMAD'S signature luminous gold.

PART 3 : STEP BY STEP TECHNIQUE

🎒 MATERIALS REQUIRED

⏱️ TOTAL TIME : 5 à 15 minutes

(depending on the number of strands you want to do)

📋 STEP 1: PREPARATION

Wet or dry hair?

ALWAYS on DRY hair

Why? Because:

• → Wet hair is swollen with water, spray penetrates less well
• → On dry hair, the spray adheres better and works more effectively
• → You see exactly where you're applying (no surprises after drying!)

Clean or dirty hair?

WHO CARES!

You can apply the spray to freshly washed hair or to 2-3-day-old hair. Both work perfectly.

Detangle your hair well

Brush your hair so it's smooth and tangle-free. This makes it easier to separate strands

📋 STEP 2: SEPARATE TIES

This is the most important step for a natural result!

💡 L'ASTUCE DE PIOUPIOU :

"Thin, widely spaced strands = natural result. Thick, tight strands = artificial result. Always choose finesse."

⚠️ GOLDEN RULE: NEVER AT THE ROOT

ALWAYS start 5-10 cm from your roots.

Why?

• → A natural balayage is never uniform from root to tip
• → Highlights should have a "melted", progressive effect
• → If you start too close to the roots, you'll have a visible demarcation line when your hair grows back

📋 STEP 3: APPLY SPRAY

💡 HOW MANY STRANDS TO MAKE?

EFFET NATUREL/SUBTIL :

• → 10-15 strands on top and contour of face
• → Fine, spaced highlights

EFFET BALAYAGE/MEDIUM :

• → 20-30 strands spread over the entire head
• → More strands on top, less underneath

INTEGRAL/INTENSE WHITE EFFECT:

• → 40-50+ strands everywhere
• → Wicks closer together and numerous

📋 STEP 4 : DRYING WITH A HAIR DRYER

Heat is your ally! It gently activates the spray and speeds up the lightening process.

⏱️ TOTAL DRYING TIME : 3-5 minutes

✅ AND THAT'S IT!

You're done! You can style your hair as usual.

You can now :

• ✅ Brush your hair normally
• ✅ Tie your hair back if you want
• ✅ Use your usual styling products
• ✅ Go to bed (no need to wait)

💛 Astuce Zoé : The result will not be immediate! OMAD'S lightening is progressive. You'll see progress after 2-3 applications.

PART 4: VARIATION AND FREQUENCY

☀️ VARIANTE : LA MÉTHODE SOLEIL (OPTIONNELLE)

If you prefer an even more natural activation, you can replace the hair dryer with the sun.

This method is slower but gives an even more natural, gradual result.

⚠️ WARNING: Only do this on sunny days and ALWAYS with sun protection for your skin and face!

🗓️ RECOMMENDED APPLICATION FREQUENCY

To get your dream highlights, here's the OMAD'S routine :

It's exactly as Pioupiou said, "Once you know the right gestures and repeat them in the right order, it becomes natural and magical."

⚠️ IMPORTANT: PATIENCE IS YOUR ALLY

OMAD'S lightening is PROGRESSIVE, not instantaneous

Don't expect platinum highlights after just 1 application. Our method respects your hair and reveals its natural blonde gradually.

The reward? Beautiful, natural-looking highlights and healthy hair.

PART 5: ADDITIONAL TIPS

🎨 HOW TO CREATE DIFFERENT EFFECTS

🪞 TIP FOR THE BACK OF THE HEAD

Doing highlights at the back may seem complicated, but here's the trick:

• 1. Uses 2 mirrors (one fixed + one pocket)
• 2. Or ask a friend/sister/mum to help you with the back
• 3. Or concentrate on the top and sides (that's what shows the most!)

💛 Astuce Zoé : Many of our clients do highlights ONLY on the top and contour of the face. That's what you can see, and it's already magnificent!

🌈 UNDERSTANDING TONE PROGRESSION

Your hair will go through different color phases before reaching the final golden blonde:

💛 Note : With the vast majority of our customers, progress is smooth and harmonious. If you notice temporary brassy highlights, the chamomile and cornflower extracts in the spray will naturally soften them to golden tones. Just keep on applying! t57024

✨ FOR A POLAR WHITE PLUSTER THAN GOLDEN

If you prefer an icy blonde rather than OMAD'S signature warm, golden blonde, you can complete your routine with OMAD'S Violet Shampoo (available separately on our site).

Violet neutralizes yellow according to the theory of complementary colors, for a cooler, more polar result.
