Study Notes
Hair Color Fundamentals
- Cuticles with resistant porosity are described as smooth, affecting how color penetrates the hair.
- Semi-permanent coloring involves a nonoxidative process allowing small color molecules to enter the cortex through the cuticle.
- The two types of melanin in hair are eumelanin and pheomelanin, contributing to the hair's natural color characteristics.
- Hair color tones can be classified into three categories: warm, cool, or neutral.
Permanent and Demi-Permanent Coloring
- Permanent hair color requires mixing with hydrogen peroxide to facilitate the color change.
- An oxidizing agent used in demi-permanent colors, lighteners, and toners is crucial for achieving desired results.
- Hair lightening is enhanced by body heat, which causes the base area to lighten faster when using a midstrand-to-ends technique.
Color Application Techniques
- Oxidative products can both lighten and deposit color in a single process, streamlining application methods.
- Dimensional coloring techniques, such as low lighting, apply darker colors to selected strands for depth and contrast.
- High lift tints are specifically formulated to achieve lighter colors and are mixed with a concentration of 30 to 40 volume hydrogen peroxide.
Client Consultation and Color Selection
- Clients with around 25 to 30% gray hair should be advised to use a shade that is one level lighter than the desired result for optimal coverage.
- Oxidative color products create a chemical change when mixed with a developer, allowing for long-lasting color results.
