Natural Hair Natural hair is composed of 3 yellow 2 red 1 blue
Stages of Lift • Red • Red Orange • Orange • Gold • Yellow • Pale Yellow
Formulation • To determine your level of color • desired color x 2 • minus your natural level • equals your processing level • Level above 10 • volume of peroxide • 10 - 20 - 30 - 40
School of Thought • Color - lift and deposit • Color will not lift color • Level 1 • all deposit , no lift • Level 5 • approximately 1/2 lift & 1/2 deposit • Level 9 • mostly lift, with some deposit
Factors to Consider • Condition of hair • Underlying pigment • warm or cool • undertones , dominant or underlying pigment • Desired color • deposit no lift • lift & deposit • mostly lift , some deposit
Lift • Maximum lift • 20 vol. • 4 levels • over 4 levels • requires • bleach or HL series
Peroxides • Developers - Oxidizer • Purpose • opens cuticle • allowing color into the cortex • oxidation • molecules enlarge • become trapped
Strengths of Peroxide • 5 volume • has to be made • used in filler formulas • pretreating gray hair • safest volume to use on chemically relaxed hair
Peroxide • 10 vol • deposit only • no lift • used on severely damaged hair • highest vol. for chemically relaxed hair • low lighting
Peroxide • 20 vol • needed to open cuticle • average strength • lift & deposit • coloring hair same level • used to lift 1 to 2 levels
Peroxide • 30 vol. • medium amount lift • 2 to 3 levels • 40 vol. • lift only • 3 to 4 levels • used w/ HL tints
Info • Strand test • formulation • processing time • prevents corrective color / loss of $$$$ • Color lifts & deposits • oxidation • do not mix until ready for application
Info • Sensitive scalp • add pink packet of sugar substitute • color or bleach • contains anti-inflammatory • Porosity • most important factor • determines level depth , strength , application , timing
Info • Developer & color usually mixed in equal parts • 2 to 1 • double peroxide to color • Application • brush or bottle
Info • Application begins • most resistant area • gray hair • hot spots
