Questions and Answers

What is semi-permanent hair color?

Dye molecules sit on the outside of the hair and last 2-3 weeks without penetrating the cuticle.

What is demi-permanent hair color?

Dye molecules penetrate the cuticle without lifting and last 6-8 weeks.

What is permanent hair color?

Study Notes

Types of Hair Color Dyes

Semi-permanent: Sits on the hair's surface, lasting 2-3 weeks without penetrating the cuticle.
Demi-permanent: Penetrates the cuticle without lifting, lasting 6-8 weeks.
Permanent: Involves oxidative dyes that lift and displace melanin in the hair.

Categories of Dyes

Commonly used dyes include oxidative dyes, pre-oxidized dyes, and direct dyes.

Definitions of Dyes

Oxidative Dyes: Colorless until mixed with hydrogen peroxide, they develop and deposit in the cortex, creating the final color result.
Pre-oxidized Dyes: Semi to semi-permanent, partially oxidized dyes that require low-volume peroxide to complete the oxidation.
Direct Dyes: Large pre-colored molecules that deposit between cuticle and cortex, needing no oxidation.

Chemical Composition

Oxidative dyes typically have an alkaline base containing ammonia or ammonia replacements.
An alkaline environment is necessary to swell the hair and open the cuticle layer, allowing oxygen liberation from hydrogen peroxide.

Permanent Coloring Components

Permanent hair colors consist of two parts: dye precursors with ammonia in an alkaline base, and a stabilized hydrogen peroxide solution.

Color Theory

Primary Colors: Colors that cannot be created, including red, yellow, and blue.
Secondary Colors: Result from mixing two primary colors in equal parts, yielding orange, violet, and green.
Tertiary Colors: Created from combining a primary and a secondary color, such as yellow-green and blue-violet.

Mixing Colors

Equal mixing of primary colors results in a neutral color.
To control or cancel dominant pigments, one should neutralize unwanted color results by moving across the PM color map.
To eliminate yellow tones, red and blue are needed.

Lighting Types and Their Effects

Incandescent Light: Favors warm tones and creates a warm reflection against hair and skin.
Fluorescent Light: Diffuses light, reduces shadows, and highlights cool tones on hair and skin.
Pure White/Natural Light: Provides the truest tones.

Importance of Light

Light is essential for perceiving color; without it, color does not exist.
