Hair Paint™ is a professional clay-based lightener created for controlled lift, precision, and exceptional workability. Its finely milled clay creates a smooth, creamy consistency that stays where it is placed while remaining easy to spread and manipulate throughout the application. Unlike traditional lighteners that can become loose, runny, or gritty, Hair Paint™ was designed to give the artist greater control and flexibility throughout the service. Intelligent Bonding Crystals™ are built directly into the formula to provide strengthening support throughout the lightening process and for up to 72 hours after application. Hair Paint™ delivers up to 7 levels of lift without compromising the integrity of the hair.

Liquid Cashmere™ is a lipid-rich oil developer created to be an active part of the lightening process—not simply a carrier for the lightener. Available in 20, 40, and 60 Volume, its unique oil-based system was developed to deliver controlled, consistent performance while supporting the condition and feel of the hair throughout the lightening process. Paired with Hair Paint™, Liquid Cashmere™ creates a professional lightening system designed around performance, workability, and hair integrity.

Because the developer is half the formula. Hair Paint™ and Liquid Cashmere™ were designed to function as a complete professional lightening system. Liquid Cashmere™ provides the oxidative power Hair Paint™ needs, while its lipid-rich oil system contributes to the consistency, workability, and controlled performance of the mixture. Using the two together allows each formula to perform as intended, giving the artist greater control while supporting the integrity and condition of the hair throughout the lightening process.

Yes. Hair Paint™ was created for freehand hair painting but is versatile enough to support a wide range of professional lightening techniques, including balayage, foils, and customized dimensional work. Its creamy clay consistency provides control over placement and saturation while maintaining the workability needed to adapt the application to the desired result—from soft, diffused dimension to more deliberate, high-impact lightening.

Whittemore House products are developed by professionals for professional-level performance. Hair Paint™ and Liquid Cashmere™ are professional lightening products designed for experienced colorists and stylists who understand hair lightening, developer selection, formulation, and processing. One note: I want to slightly adjust the second half of this answer depending on what you decide about credential requirements. Since you’re currently selling through ecommerce without requiring professional credentials, I don’t want the FAQ to imply that purchasing is restricted to licensed professionals if it isn’t.

Whittemore House products are developed and manufactured where each formula can be executed to the highest standard. Hair Paint™ was formulated and is currently manufactured in Italy, where Larry Raspanti partnered with experts in professional lightening chemistry. At the time, Italy was one of the few places with the specialized milling technology capable of producing the exceptionally fine clay texture required to achieve Hair Paint™’s signature creamy consistency, superior workability, and controlled performance. Liquid Cashmere™ Developers were developed through years of collaboration with a Canadian laboratory, where Larry Raspanti and his former business partner, Victoria, worked alongside cosmetic chemists through extensive research, testing, and refinement. Today, Liquid Cashmere™ is manufactured in the United States to the exact specifications established during its development. Rather than producing every product in a single location, Whittemore House has always chosen to work with the partners and facilities best equipped to bring each formula to life.
