5 CHAPTER 1 : PALETTE Hair colour is not a finite art or skill and is governed by perception, culture and taste. Blue is a range of colours to a range of people as is blonde or red. Palette is a combination of : Light Level ( lightness or darkness) Colour (tone) LIGHT How do we see colour? Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colours and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colours.* LEVEL Level is the measurement of dark ( depth ) or light of a colour. In hair colour the level is measured from black to blonde. The level system is written in numbers, this makes colour formulations easy to recognize and record in client histories. Each colour brand will have their own variation of the names and level numbers. The generic level system Number 10 Lightest blonde 9 Light blonde 8 Blonde 7 Medium blonde 6 Dark blonde 5 Medium brown 4 Brown 3 Dark brown 2 Natural black 1 Black Name *source : au.pantone.com 4 Hair Colour

6 COLOUR (TONE) Tone is the recognition of colour. In hair colouring level and tone are combined to create the colour. 6 Tertiary colours The tertiary colours are made from combining primary and secondary colours together. The colour wheel The generic colour wheel has 12 colours 3 Primary colours Primary colours are pure and are used to mix together to create more colours 3 Secondary colours Secondary colours are made from 2 primary colours mixed together. Red + blue = violet blue + yellow = green Using tone in hair colouring The colours are placed in a specific order on the colour wheel. They sit between the colours which mix and they sit opposite the colours which neutralise them. A neutralised colour will be brown or blonde, a level with natural tone. Red + orange = Red/orange Orange + yellow = yellow/orange Yellow + green = yellow/green Green + blue = green/blue Blue + violet = blue/violet Violet + red = red/violet 6R + 6G = 6N red + yellow = orange 6 Hair Colour

7 The cuticle can be damaged environmentally or chemically. Environmental or physical damage : this is the damage caused by blowdrying, brushing, elastics and bobby pins, the sun, wind and wear and tear on longer, older hair. Chemical damage : this is the damage caused by detergents (shampoos), alcohol ( styling and finishing products), hair colour and texture products. Melanin Melanin is the name of the natural pigment types found in hair. Melanin is produced through a healthy production and oxidisation of the amino acid tyrosine, followed by polymerisation. The pigment is produced in a special group of cells known as melanocytes. There are two basic types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin. The most common type of melanin is eumelanin. There are two types of eumelanin- brown eumelanin and black eumelanin. Eumelanin composition and density will vary for every hair. Natural hair colour from black to blonde, is a combination of eumelanin. Pheomelanin is pink to red pigment. When pheomelanin is mixed with brown eumelanin, it is largely responsible for red hair. Eumelanin (Black) Mixed Melanin (eumelanin + pheomelanin (Brown Blonde) Eumelanin (Brown) Pheomelanin As hair colour is oxidized in the hair shaft, the melanin changes colour and the result we see is called natural remaining pigment. Although every hair strand has its own unique blend of melanin, the natural remaining pigment can be reasonably accurately predicted. The natural remaining pigment will be part of the combined final colour visible after a hair colour service. Number Natural Name Natural remaining pigment 10 Lightest blonde Pastel yellow 9 Light blonde Yellow 8 Blonde Yellow/orange 7 Medium blonde Orange yellow 6 Dark blonde Orange 5 Medium brown Red/orange 4 Brown Red 3 Dark brown Red 2 Natural black Red 1 Black Red Hair by Rebecca Sun 12 Hair Colour

8 The ph scale The ph Scale is used to measure the acidity of water based solutions. It is measured with numbers from 0 to 14. Lower numbers are acidic, higher numbers are alkaline. Skin has a healthy state ph of Pure rain water has a ph of 7. ALKALINE (BASE) ph ph balanced environments ( skin, hair) will feel soft to touch. They will feel firmer, tight or harder when the have a more alkaline ph and will feel softer or even slimey when they have a more acidic ph. The ph of hair products is an important factor to understand when prescribing chemical services and home hair care. Examples Liquid drain cleaner (ph = 14) Bleaches, oven cleaner (ph = 13.5) Ammonia solution (ph = ) Chemical straighteners (ph = 10+) Baking soda (ph = 9.5) Sea water (ph = 8) Blood (ph = 7.5) Professional shampoos (ph = approx 7) Pure rainwater (ph = 7) Milk, urine, saliva (ph = ) Hair and skin (ph = 5.5) Black co fee (ph = 5) Grapefruit juice, so t drink, tomato juice (ph = ) Lemon juice (ph = 2) Battery acid, Hydrochloric acid (ph = 0) ACID Hair Colour 15

9 BALAYAGE effect and QUICK COMB ON COLOUR TECHNIQUES When is it required? These techniques are popular for single process colours and for those not wanting high maintenance retouch services. BALAYAGE is the name of a traditional French hair colouring technique, literally painting in a sweeping motion. Commonly used to describe comb on or quick salon colouring techniques.
