Determining Percentage of Gray Hair
- Gray hair percentage ranges from 30% to 100%, affecting color formulation and appearance.
- 30% gray results in more pigmented hair; still retains significant color.
- 50% gray presents an even mixture of gray and pigmented hair.
- 70 to 90% gray indicates a predominance of gray; remaining pigment often concentrated at the back of the head.
- 100% gray hair appears virtually white with no pigmented strands present.
Determining a Client's Natural Hair Level
- Start by sectioning off a half-inch square of hair from just beneath the crown.
- Comb through the section and hold it up to allow light to filter for better color evaluation.
- Use a natural level swatch or color ring to find the closest match to the hair color.
- Gradually move the swatch from the scalp down the entire hair strand for an accurate assessment.
- Conclude with the identification of the natural hair color level.
