Q

Why are the multi-tonal colors not on the color wheel?

A

They have no major tones and so they can’t sit on the color wheel but they can be mixed freely with any other tone.

Q

True or false

As a result of the cuticle remaining open the percentage of pigment in the color needs to be as high as possible. It’s necessary since a high percentage of color will be lost when rinsing off the color

Q

What’s the key difference with organic color systems

A

The main ingredient raises the cuticle to a 9 instead of a 11/12 and it also is a conditioning agent so it softens the cuticle at the same time which gently raises the ph.

Q

Why is it important to emulsify the color and allowing the water to run clear

A

The moisturizing oils that the color is suspended in must be mixed with the lathering agent contained in the color to be removed from the hair effectively with allows to seal the cuticle.

Q

If you have a base root color and a highlight, you will need to put them under heat to get optimum results for the color. What developers should you use and why

A

Harmonics for the color retouch and blue lightener with 10volume cream. Hairmonics takes 10min under heat and 10volume won’t lighten too quick. Can use naturlite to slow it down further.

121
Q

How long do the no limits last

A

6-12 shampoos

122
Q

What are the 7 laws of color

A
  1. Prepare your canvas

A

Aqua boost

134
Q

What are extra brights designed to do

A

Complement and increase tones in colors.

135
Q

Will extra brights work with out an activator

136
Q

What is the difference between concentrates and extra brights

A

Concentrates have a base tone and appear on the color wheel, the extra brights contain no base color they are true pigments

137
Q

What is the 0 activator used for

A

To dilute any activator

138
Q

How would you make a 20vol or 6% using 0%

A

1 part 0 to 1 part 40 or 12%

139
Q

How can you create an activator to tone or as a color wash using o%

A

Mixing 1 part 0 to 1 part 10 vol or 3%

140
Q

What is 10vol 3% activator designed for

A

To create a Demi-permanent color result. Ideal for first time color client, or color correction

141
Q

What is 20vol 6% designed for

A

Used to cover grey hair and for color on the same base or darker

142
Q

What is 30vol or 9% designed to do

A

Used for lifting 1-2 shades, some coverage on grey hair and brighter results

143
Q

How long should you process under heat for a Demi permanent result

A

10 min under heat and 20 min without

144
Q

For optimum color results why is it necessary to process under heat?

A

Because of our gentle action of organic color systems, it’s necessary to place a plastic cap over the color and place under heat, this will allow the cuticle to open and start the color development

145
Q

What would you use to remove the build up from 2-1 shampoos and henna, how is it applied

A

Shampoo hair twice using clarifying shampoo. Use a sponge and work vodka through the hair leave on for 15 min, rinse shampoo with Aqua boost shampoo twice. Leave 2nd lather on for 5 min rinse and apply power build treatment

146
Q

What ingredients are used in replacement of ammonia to gently open the cuticle

A

Soyamine, ethanolamine

147
Q

What is soyamine and how is it derived

A

A polymer made from fatty acids of soya beans. It acts as an emulsifier and surfactant. It is alkaline and so raises the ph of the hair, softening the cuticle, opening the ph much lower than ammonia. It’s naturally derived from soya bean

148
Q

What is oleic acid used for and what is it derived from

A

A fatty acid that occurs naturally in some foods. It’s a surfactant or cleansing agent, it neutralizes the ethanolamine, naturally derived from olive oil, as well as grape seed, sea buckthorn and sesame oil

149
Q

A clear viscous liquid used mainly in hair color and controls the ph is called a

A

Ethanolamine

150
Q

What is OCS ethanolamine derived from

A

Naturally from coconut

151
Q

What is hydrolysed wheat protein used for in OCS

A

Natural wheat protein, it provides a combination of moisture balancing and film forming properties that give hair better body, control and a smoother feel. Gives the hair shine and has amazing conditioning effects.

152
Q

What is ascorbic acid used for in OCS

A

It’s a natural vitamin c it slows down the deterioration of the product caused by exposure to the air. Antioxidants play a vital role in maintaining the quality integrity and safety of cosmetic products

153
Q

What is glyceryl cocoate used for

A

Naturally derived from coconut and glycerin, commonly used in hair color, shampoo to give it its moisturizing and the ability to emulsify .
