PINTURA COLOURING - cornwall curl specialist
By Sarah White
PINTURA - ENHANCE YOUR CURLS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Pintura curl colouring is a specialised hand-painted highlighting technique created for naturally curly hair and popularised through education at the DevaCurl Academy,
It focuses on painting colour onto individual curls instead of using foils, so the finished result looks more like natural, sun‑lit dimension than traditional highlights.
Pintura comes from the Portuguese word for “painting” rather than flattening curls into foils, the colour or lightener is hand painted directly onto selected curls, usually following the curve of each strand and placing colour where light would naturally hit.
Stylists who attend the DevaCurl Academy learn how to customise Pintura placement for different curl types, from loose waves to tight coils, with an emphasis on curl health and visual balance. As a result, Pintura has spread globally through Deva‑trained curl specialists who promote it as a premium, curl‑safe colouring option. I attended this education in New York in 2019.
WHO IS PINTURA FOR?
- women with curly, wavy or coily hair
- clients wanting soft subtle tones with less obvious grow out
- those wanting to brighten, deepen or refresh their existing colour
- clients seeking minimal damage and maximum curl definition
- clients who don't want their curls combed, straightened, flattened
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR PINTURA APPOINTMENT
Your session includes:
Consultation - discussion about your hair goals, desired shade, curl pattern, current hair condition, expectations and ultimate colour, whether that requires a number of appointments / applications.
Gentle application - applied with your curl structure in mind, placement for natural definition.
Post Colour Care Guidance - tips and product recommendations to maintain, hydration, tone and curl health
WHY CHOOSE PINTURA FOR YOUR CURLS?
Curl friendly - works with your natural texture instead of flattening it
Low Damage - gentle, no overheating and swelling in packets
More Natural - no harsh lines, no obvious grow out
