Study Notes

Hair Coloring Basics

Clients typically visit the salon every 3 to 12 weeks for hair coloring services.
Haircolor refers to artificial hair coloring products and services used in professional settings.

Hair Structure and Strength

The structure of the client's hair helps determine the appropriate haircolor to use.
The cortex, or middle layer of hair, contributes 80% to the overall strength and elasticity.

Hair Pigment and Texture

Melanin is the natural pigment found in the hair's cortex.
Hair texture is based on the diameter of individual hair strands, with fine hair taking color faster due to tightly grouped melanin granules.

Porosity Types

Porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb moisture.
Low porosity has a tightly packed cuticle, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate.
Average porosity indicates a slightly raised cuticle, allowing for normal processing times.
High porosity has a lifted cuticle and absorbs color quickly.

Color Theory

Eumelanin contributes black and brown hair colors, while pheomelanin provides blond and red hues.
Undertone refers to the warmth exposed during hair coloring processes, while levels gauge the lightness or darkness of color.
The color wheel is vital for identifying a hair’s natural level and understanding color relationships via the law of color.

Color Characteristics

Cool colors reflect blue undertones, while warm colors highlight red and yellow.
Tones can be described as cool, warm, or neutral, with warm tones appearing lighter and cool tones looking deeper.

Hair Coloring Products

Semipermanent and permanent colors are types of oxidative hair color; the latter can lift and deposit color.
Non-oxidative temporary colors coat the hair and are removed through shampooing.
Aniline derivatives are dye precursors that create permanent color when mixed with hydrogen peroxide.

Hair Coloring Procedures

Hydrogen peroxide acts as a developer in hair coloring, with 20 volume being standard for permanent haircolor results.
Lighteners disperse and decolorize natural pigments in the hair.
Oxidation processes release oxygen within the hair for color change.

Application Techniques

Single-process coloring lightens and deposits color in one step, such as virgin applications and color retouches.
The double-process method pre-lightens and then tones hair.
Techniques like highlighting and lowlighting involve coloring strands lighter or darker than the natural color.

Safety and Testing

A consultation is crucial before any color service, especially for clients with compromised hair conditions, who must sign a release statement.
Patch tests must be conducted 24-48 hours prior to using aniline derivative products to check for allergic reactions.
Do not apply hair color to scalps with visible abrasions.

Advanced Techniques

Pre-softening assists in coloring gray or resistant hair.
Cream lighteners offer better control for scalp applications, while powdered lighteners provide quicker, stronger lightening through activated persulfate salts.
