French term or phrase: micro-voiles
Some sort of haircutting technique...

"Commencer par la partie frontale , les séparations sont prises en diagonales vers l’avant dans le sens de la coupe. Travail au pinceau, en micro-voiles pour plus d’uniformité. Support coton entre chaque mèche."

fine layers
Explanation:
This is clearly about the brush application of hair colourant, so it is not a "spray" or "mist". The question I am less sure about is whether the "micro-voiles" describe the fineness of the layers of colourant, or the fineness of the sections of hair.

Thanks! I think it refers to the layers of colorant, rather than the layers of hair.
