Study Notes
Hair Coloring Fundamentals
- Three primary colors: red, blue, yellow.
- Mixing primary colors yields secondary colors: orange, green, violet.
- Blue mixed with yellow produces green.
- Tertiary colors result from mixing primary colors with adjacent secondary colors.
Color Characteristics
- Tone can be described as warm or cool.
- Warm skin tones include yellow, red, and orange hues, while cool tones have blue or pink hues.
- Complimentary color pairs include green/red, blue/orange, and yellow/purple; blue-based colors neutralize brassy tones.
Hair Color Levels
- Hair color levels range from 1 (darkest) to 10 (lightest), with level 10 being the lightest.
- Majority of the global population has darker hair.
Hair Composition and Processing
- Melanocytes create melanosomes, influencing hair color via pigmentation: eumelanin (dark) and pheomelanin (red).
- Determining hair color involves assessing existing pigment and tone.
- Coarse hair often processes lighter, while fine hair tends to appear darker when colored.
Product Utilization
- Chemicals in lighteners and colors affect hair porosity.
- Resistant porosity slows color absorption; extreme porosity indicates lifted or missing cuticles.
- Permanent colors mix with hydrogen peroxide, while demi-permanent colors use low volume peroxide.
- Semi-permanent colors last several shampoo sessions and contain smaller molecules for deeper penetration.
Application Techniques
- Patch tests are necessary with aniline derivative ingredients in permanent colors.
- Toners correct unwanted tones post-lightening; processes often require pre-lightening.
- Hair coloring techniques include freeform painting, foiling (weaving/slicing), and cap techniques.
Retouch Procedures
- During retouches, apply color to new growth areas.
- For over-lightened hair, a toner may create an ashy appearance.
Safety and Protocols
- Always discard leftover oxidative color products after service.
- Avoid using metallic bowls with peroxide to prevent weakening.
- Use reflective listening during client consultations to clarify desires.
Color Correction Techniques
- Tint back procedures revert hair to original hue.
- Color glazing refreshes previously dyed hair.
- If a service results in an undesired darker color, a hair color removal technique can be employed.
Product Specifics
- Hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent, serves various coloring processes and has a 3-year shelf life.
- Filler products help equalize porosity and contribute a base color.
- Lighteners break down melanin using ammonia and peroxide, achieving up to 10 stages of lightening.
Testing and Evaluation
- A preliminary strand test should be conducted at the crown to assess processing time and expected color results.
- Ensure a well-lit area for color analysis to avoid misjudgment in results.
Common Hair Color Issues
- Overlapping lighteners during retouch can cause breakage.
- Address signs of allergic reactions during patch tests immediately.
Maintenance and Records
- Keep accurate client records to maintain consistent results over time.
- Consult color swatches to align services with client expectations.
