Study Notes

Dye Precursor and Dyeing Process

Dye precursor is a colorless compound, typically an aromatic compound with functional groups in the para-position (e.g. p-diamines or p-aminophenols).
Dye precursor is used in permanent dyes.
The dyeing process in hair involves a combination of three components:
- Dye precursor
- Developer
- Coupler
The base is also involved in the dyeing process.
Oxidizing agents, alkaline chemicals, and couplers are also involved in the process, but their exact roles are not specified.
