Study Notes
Hair Coloring Fundamentals
- Clients typically visit salons for hair coloring every three to twelve weeks.
- Artificial haircoloring products and services are collectively termed as haircolor.
Hair Structure and Characteristics
- The structure of a client's hair and desired results dictate the choice of hair color.
- The cortex, or middle layer, contributes approximately 80% to hair strength and elasticity.
- Hair texture is influenced by the diameter of individual hair strands.
Hair Porosity
- Fine hair absorbs color quickly due to tightly grouped melanin granules, resulting in a darker appearance.
- Coarse-textured hair has a larger diameter and generally takes longer to process color.
- Porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb moisture, with three classifications: low, average, and high porosity based on cuticle condition.
Melanin Types
- Eumelanin provides black and brown shades, while pheomelanin offers blond and red tones.
- Undertone, or contributing pigment, influences warmth during permanent color or lightening.
Color Measurement and Analysis
- Color is identified by its lightness or darkness, typically measured on a scale known as the level system, ranging from level 1 (darkest) to level 10 (lightest).
- The color wheel serves as an essential tool for colorists to determine the natural hair level.
Color Theory
- The law of color explains relationships among colors, with primary colors being pure and not derived from mixtures.
- Warm colors (red, yellow) dominate over cool colors (blue), impacting the overall hair tone.
Color Application Techniques
- Tones can be categorized as cool, warm, or neutral, with warm tones appearing lighter due to light reflection.
- Intensity refers to color strength, while base indicates the predominant tone of the color.
Hair Coloring Products
- Non-oxidative haircolor is classified as temporary or semipermanent, while oxidative haircolor can be demipermanent or permanent.
- Developers are crucial in permanent hair coloring, with hydrogen peroxide being the most common agent, usually at a 20 volume concentration for most results.
Chemical Reactions in Coloring
- Oxidation occurs during the hair coloring process when oxygen is released within the hair shaft.
- Double-process application involves first pre-lightening hair before applying toner for results.
Safety and Testing Protocols
- A patch test is necessary before using an aniline derivative product, conducted 24 to 48 hours prior to application.
- Clients with any scalp abrasions should not receive hair color treatments.
Application Methods
- Single-process haircoloring allows for lifting and depositing color in one application.
- Highlighting involves lightening selected strands, while lowlighting darkens chosen strands.
Additional Techniques
- Baliage is a free-form method of applying lightener directly to styled hair.
- Pre-softening assists in better color penetration for gray or resistant hair.
Key Recommendations
- Avoid overlapping hair color on previously colored sections to prevent breakage and demarcation.
- New growth is the uncolored hair between the scalp and previously colored sections.
