Deck 1 Flashcards
What is the significance of the hair’s porosity in coloring?
Hair porosity affects how the hair absorbs and holds color. High porosity hair absorbs color quickly but may fade faster, while low porosity hair may resist color. Illustration needed.
What does the level system in hair coloring represent?
The level system indicates the lightness or darkness of hair color, ranging from 1 (black) to 10 (lightest blonde). Illustration needed.
How does developer volume affect hair coloring?
Developer volume determines the level of lift or deposit. Lower volumes are used for darker or tone-on-tone coloring, while higher volumes are used for lightening hair. Illustration needed.
What is the purpose of a patch test?
A patch test checks for allergic reactions to the dye on the skin before applying it to the hair. Illustration needed.
How can you neutralize unwanted warm tones?
To neutralize unwanted warm tones, use a color with the opposite tone on the color wheel, e.g., use a blue-based toner to neutralize orange tones. Illustration needed.
What is balayage?
Balayage is a freehand hair coloring technique used to create a graduated, natural-looking effect. Illustration needed.
How should hair be prepared before coloring?
Hair should be in healthy condition and typically not freshly washed; natural oils can protect the scalp during the coloring process. Illustration needed.
What is the difference between semi-permanent and permanent hair color?
Semi-permanent color deposits color without ammonia or developer, lasting a few washes. Permanent color chemically alters hair, removing natural pigment and depositing new color for long-lasting change. Illustration needed.
Why is a strand test recommended before full application?
A strand test helps predict the outcome of the color on your specific hair type, checking for the desired shade and identifying potential damage. Illustration needed.
How can you protect hair from damage during coloring?
Use quality products, follow manufacturer instructions, apply protective treatments, and avoid excessive heat styling. Illustration needed.
What role does the color wheel play in hair coloring?
The color wheel helps in understanding color theory, crucial for mixing colors and correcting unwanted tones. Illustration needed.
How often should hair color be maintained?
Maintenance varies; permanent color needs touch-ups every 4-6 weeks, while semi-permanent may require more frequent application. Illustration needed.
What safety measures should be taken when coloring hair?
Use gloves, perform patch and strand tests, follow product instructions, and ensure proper ventilation. Illustration needed.
How do you approach color correction?
Color correction involves assessing the current color, determining the desired outcome, and applying techniques to correct or adjust the color, often requiring multiple steps. Illustration needed.
