Study Notes
Hair Structure and Texture
- The cortex is the layer providing strength and elasticity to hair.
- Hair texture is determined by the diameter of individual hair strands.
- High porosity indicates the cuticle is lifted, allowing color to penetrate quickly.
Hair Color Levels and Tones
- Hair color levels range from 1 (darkest) to 10 (lightest).
- Tones in hair color can be categorized as warm, neutral, or cool.
- Natural tones are described as sandy or tan.
Color Theory
- Blue is used to minimize orange tones in hair.
- Primary colors are pure colors that cannot be created by mixing.
- Blue is the only cool primary color.
- Mixing red with blue-based colors results in a lighter appearance.
Color Mixing
- A tertiary color forms by mixing a secondary color with its neighboring primary color.
- Mixing equal proportions of primary colors produces grey, white, or black.
Hair Color Types
- Temporary color molecules are large and do not penetrate the hair shaft.
- Semipermanent hair color lasts approximately 4-6 weeks.
- Demi-permanent color deposits color without lifting; it penetrates the hair shaft.
- Permanent hair color lightens and deposits color simultaneously and is mixed with a high-volume developer for maximum lift, typically requiring a 40 volume developer.
Hair Lightening
- Natural hair can go through up to 10 stages during the decolorization process.
- Overlapping color can lead to breakage and create a line of demarcation.
Lighteners and Client Specifics
- The three forms of hair lighteners are oil, powder, and cream.
- For clients with significant gray hair, a blonde shade is the most flattering.
- To cover unpigmented hair in salt-and-pepper clients, choose a color formulation two levels lighter than their natural level.
Hair Coloring Techniques
- Weaving involves picking selected strands from a narrow hair section and applying lightener.
- Presoftening is essential for preparing gray or resistant hair for better color penetration.
Coloring Processes
- New growth is lightened first during a lightener retouch.
- A double process is the best method for achieving pale blonde results.
- Yellow balances violet hair, while orange balances blue hair.
Demipermanent Color Details
- Demipermanent hair color deposits without lifting, making it suitable for enhancing existing color.
Client Interaction
- During consultations, maintain direct eye contact with the client.
- Use soft language when discussing hair color with clients.
- Perform strand tests using the color intended for the service.
Hair Characteristics Post-Service
- Previously color-treated hair tends to have greater porosity.
- Tone refers to the balance of color in hair.
Chemical Texture Services
- Curl re-formation loosens overly curly hair into waves or loose curls.
- The natural pH of hair is around 5.0.
Perming Techniques
- The size of the curl in permanent waving is determined by the size of the rod used.
- Half off base placement involves wrapping hair at a 90-degree angle from the center.
- The two basic methods of wrapping hair around a perm rod are spiral and croquignole methods.
