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.
