Study Notes
Important Hair Characteristics for Coloring
-
Elasticity: Indicates the strength of the hair cortex and is vital for assessing hair health.
- Normal elasticity allows hair to stretch up to 50% of its original length before returning.
- Low elasticity means hair does not revert to its original length after stretching, indicating potential damage.
-
Texture: Refers to the diameter of individual hair strands and influences coloring results.
- Fine hair has a small diameter with tightly grouped melanin granules, affecting color absorption.
- Medium-textured hair has an average response timeframe to hair color products.
- Coarse hair features a large diameter and loosely grouped melanin, leading to different coloring dynamics.
-
Density: Measures the number of hair strands per square inch on the scalp.
- Thin hair requires smaller subsections for effective color application and even coverage.
- Thick hair can use larger subsections due to greater hair abundance.
-
Porosity: Reflects the hair's capability to absorb moisture and color products.
- High porosity hair absorbs color quickly but may fade rapidly, often feeling rough or dry.
- Average porosity hair has slightly raised cuticles and processes color normally.
- Low porosity hair features a tight cuticle, sometimes needing a higher volume developer, and may feel smooth or hard.
-
Natural Hair Color: Influences the final outcome of any hair coloring service and should be considered during selection.
-
Contributing Pigment: Refers to pigments that are not the primary color, playing a significant role in influencing the overall tonal effect of the final hair color.
