Study Notes

Hair Coloring Overview

  • Clients typically visit salons for hair coloring every 3-12 weeks.
  • Hair coloring is seen as one of the most creative and inspiring salon services.

Reasons for Hair Coloring

  • Cover or blend gray hair.
  • Enhance existing hair color.
  • Create fashion statements or express individuality.
  • Correct unwanted tones from environmental exposure.
  • Accentuate specific haircuts.

Hair Structure and Characteristics

  • Hair has three main parts:
    • Cuticle: outermost layer.
    • Cortex: middle layer known for strength, elasticity, and pigment.
    • Medulla: innermost layer with no significant function.
  • The cortex is where natural pigment (melanin) is found.
  • Melanin determines the natural color of hair.
  • Hair texture is determined by the diameter of individual strands.

Hair Types and Processing

  • Fine hair has tightly grouped melanin granules, processing color quickly.
  • Coarse hair takes longer to process color.
  • Hair density refers to the number of hairs per square inch and can vary from thin to thick.
  • Porosity describes the hair's ability to absorb moisture.

Porosity Levels

  • High porosity: cuticle is lifted, hair takes color quickly.
  • Low porosity: tight cuticle, resistant to color absorption.
  • Average porosity: slightly raised cuticle, processes in an average time.
  • Low porosity leads to a smoother hair feel, while extremely porous hair processes color rapidly.

Identifying Natural Color

  • Learning to identify a client's natural hair color is crucial for successful coloring services.

Melanin Types

  • The cortex contains three types of melanin:
    • Eumelanin: dark pigment.
    • Pheomelanin: light pigment.
    • Mixed melanin: combination of both.

Color Theory

  • The law of color helps understand color relationships.
  • Base color refers to the predominant tone of a color.
  • Primary colors: red, yellow, blue; these are used to create all other colors.
  • Secondary colors, created by mixing two primary colors, include green, orange, and violet.

Balancing Color

  • Complementary colors neutralize each other; for example, blue balances orange, red balances green, and violet balances yellow.
  • Tones can be described as warm, cool, or neutral, affecting how colors appear.

Hair Coloring Products

  • Hair coloring products fall into two main categories:
    • Non-oxidative: temporary and semi-permanent.
    • Oxidative: demipermanent and permanent.
  • Ammonia or substitutes are important for raising hair cuticles, increasing dye penetration, and starting lightening action.

Hair Color Types

  • Temporary hair color coats the hair and can be removed by shampooing.
  • Semi-permanent lasts 4-6 weeks.
  • Demi-permanent is designed to deposit color without lightening.
  • Permanent color can both lighten and deposit color in one process.

Developer and Lighteners

  • Hydrogen peroxide is the most commonly used developer, classified by volume measuring concentration and strength.
  • Lighteners disperse and decolorize natural pigment to create lighter shades.
  • Decolonization may involve up to 10 stages to achieve the desired lightness.

Consultation and Application

  • A thorough consultation is vital for client satisfaction, requiring additional time.
  • Techniques for applying permanent color include using an applicator bottle or a non-metallic brush and bowl.

Special Considerations

  • Henna represents natural or vegetable colors, which do not lighten hair.
  • Metallic colors can cause a dull appearance and restrict chemical service types.
  • A soap cap combines permanent color with shampoo to create a lighter, foamy consistency during the service.
