ABOUT
HAIR COLOR TREATMENTS
Hair
coloring products generally fall into four categories: temporary, semipermanent,
deposit only/demi, and permanent. All these hair color products, except
for temporary color, suggest a patch test before application to determine
if the client is allergic to the product. "Hair lightening," referred
to as "bleaching" or "decolorizing," is a chemical process involving
the diffusion of the natural color pigment or artificial color from
the hair. This process is central to both permanent hair color and hair
lighteners.
All
"permanent" haircolor products and lighteners contain both a developer,
or oxidizing agent, and an alkalizing ingredient as part of their ammonia
or an ammonia substitute. The purpose of this is to:
*
raise the cuticle of the hair fibre so the tint can penetrate,
* facilitate the formation of tints within the hair fibre,
* bring about the lightening action of peroxide.
When the tint containing the alkalizing ingredient is combined with
the developer (usually hydrogen peroxide), the peroxide becomes alkaline
and diffuses through the hair fibre, entering the cortex, where the
melanin is located. The lightening occurs when the alkaline peroxide
breaks up the melanin and replaces it with new color.
Temporary
hair color
The pigment molecules in temporary hair color are large and, therefore,
do not penetrate the cuticle layer, allowing only a coating action that
may be removed by shampooing. Acid dyes are used to coat on the surface
of hair, since acid dyes have a low affinity to hair, thus can be removed
after a shampoo. Temporary hair color is available in various product
forms including rinses, shampoos, gels, sprays, and others. This type
of hair color is typically used to give brighter, more vibrant shades
or colors such as orange or red, that may be difficult to achieve with
semi-permanent and permanent hair color. This phenomenon is due to the
fact that temporary hair colorants do not penetrate the hair shaft itself.
Instead, these dyes remain adsorbed (closely adherent) to the follicle
and can be easily removed with a single shampooing. However, even temporary
hair coloring agents can persist if the user's hair is excessively dry
or damaged, conditions that allow for migration of the dye from the
exterior to the interior of the follicle. While temporary hair color
products hold a lesser market than semi-permanent and permanent agents,
they have value in that they can be easily and quickly removed without
bleaching or application of a different dye.
Semipermanent
hair color
Formulated to deposit color on the hair shaft without lightening it.
This formula has smaller molecules than those of temporary tinting formulas,
and is therefore able to penetrate the hair shaft. Has no developer,
may be used with heat for penetration. It also lasts longer than temporary
hair color, keeping intact up to 8-14 shampoos.
Special
effects
Special effects include highlighting and vivid, unusual hair colors
such as green or fuchsia. Highlighting can range from temporary to permanent,
using the techniques listed above and a special application process.
The techniques required to apply highlighting can be difficult for an
individual to perform upon him/herself. One can create looks that range
from subtle highlights acquired during a day at the beach, to more dramatic
looks, such as bold, chunky highlights.
The more exotic, bright dyes typically contain only tint, and have no
developer. These are typically sold in punk-themed stores (such as comic
book and music stores). Colors range from blood red to seafoam green.
Many shades are blacklight reactive. Individuals with darker hair (medium
brown to black) are advised to use a bleaching kit prior to tint application
for the full effect of the color. Some people with fair hair may benefit
from prior bleaching as well, as the yellow undertones of blonde hair
can make blue dye look green. These dyes are less permanent, and tend
to "bleed" onto other fabric even when dry. Users should anticipate
staining of light-colored pillows for a week or so after application.
Problems
related to coloring hair
When coloring one's hair, one may consider visiting a professional hair
colorist, as there are several mistakes a person could make, as well
as some serious consequences. The following are some of the problems
that may occur as a result of applying hair color:
* Different color outcome compared to what was expected
* Breakage of hair strands
* Stain on skin from hair dye
* Lead acetate as a potential toxin. (Lead acetate is the active ingredient
in gradual darkening products such as Grecian formula)
* Idiosyncrasy or development of allergic reactions due to the analine
derivative found in permanent hair color.
Alternatives
to Chemical Based Dyes
It has been recorded historically that ancient civilizations dyed their
hair using plants. Some of the most well known are henna, indigo, Cassia
obovata, senna, turmeric and amla. Others include katam, black walnut
hulls, and leeks [3]. Presently, there are some companies that do sell
alternate based dyes for people that are sensitive to PPD, a chemical
found in most hair dyes. There are also said to be non-toxic safer products
that avoid the side-effects of chemical based dyes. The safer alternatives
generally have fewer chemicals or are plant based and do also have temporary,
semi-permanent and permanent options. However, these products typically
do not last as long as chemical based dyes.

ABOUT
HAIR HIGHLIGHTING
Hair
highlighting is coloring hair using light colors,to color strands of
the hair in different sizes. There are four types of highlights: basic
foil highlights, hair painting, chunking and low-lighting. They are
very common for teenagers and done in expressive and usually natural
colors. The categories of the highlights last are: temporary, semi-permanent,
demi-permanent, and permanent.
Basic
Foil highlighting
Foil highlighting is the process of using foil to separate strands of
hair that will be lightened from strands of hair that will remain their
natural color. The process is done by brushing lightener to the hair
that has been woven and separated using an applicator brush. The foil
is then folded as to protect the hair and surrounding area during the
"processing" time. This is the amount of time required to achieve the
desired results. In highlighting hair, a bleach and peroxide mixture
can be used to decolorize the hair, or hair color dyes can be used to
lighten and deposit color to the hair. This process is also used in
applying "Low-lights" to the hair. In this process, hair dyes are used
to create strands of hair that are darker than the natural color. Many
times the foils are used to separate hair strands for high and low lights
during the same process.
Hair
painting
Hair painting is an easy method of highlighting hair. There are many
hair products that offer hair painting. For example, one may try Clairol
Hair painting products, where an easy-to-use brush is used to paint
highlights in the hair. Another brand of hair product used for hair
painting is Loreal Color Strands, which also utilizes a brush for application.
Both of these methods are permanent and employ a simple, yet effective
hair painting brush. Hair painting is also used with temporary and semi-permanent
types of brushes. While brushes are commonly used in hair painting,
one may also use combs to paint or highlight thin-sized strands of hair.
Chunking
Chunking highlights are a type of size in highlighting. The results
can be amazing when chunking.This is an easy process when buying the
right product. These types of highlights come in lots of bolder and
brighter colors.
Low-lighting
Low-lighting is the same as highlighting but comes in darker shades
of color. People who have very bright and light hair colors, low-light
their light hair color. It is an exact opposite of highlighting.

ABOUT
HAIR COLOR CORRECTIONS
Color
Correction is usually NOT the salon professional's fault. Most often,
color is applied correctly to match a swatch that is the guide. However,
when the color is applied to a swatch, there is no presence of minerals,
product buildup, and/or oxidizers. Therefore, if the color is applied
to hair without first removing minerals, styling product build-up, and
oxidizers, the color will last less than two weeks leading to the need
for Color Correction. Additionally, cigarette smoke residue and oral
medications can also affect how well color remains in the hair.
Color Correction is usually associated with:
* Color Fadage and loosing vibrancy
* Highlights getting dark or cloudy looking
* Reds not lasting
* Brassy tone
* Color not matching the swatch
* Unevenness of color
Assuming the color was applied properly and the correct colors were
used in the formula, the problem is almost always elements that were
on the hair before the color was applied.
Before any attempt to re-color or highlight hair, it is IMPERATIVE that
first a treatment using fresh-dried vitamins and natural chelators be
applied to the hair. As indicated in the Condition description, mineral
build-up can sabotage successful color results. Therefore, removing
the minerals to normalize the hair will immediately solve the problem
and you might find there is no need to have your color corrected. If
mineral build-up is severe, we recommend a freshly-activated vitamin
treatment processed with heat in the salon to prepare the hair for color
correction and to ensure successful results.
Possible
Problems
If you are experiencing hair color horrors you developed them because
of one of two possible paths:
1. You went to a professional stylist or colorist and came out with
a color disaster.
2. You were swept away by a hair color advertisement and did the dirty
color deed to yourself in the privacy of your home.
It is important to point out that there is a major distinction between
home haircoloring and professional haircoloring. Many consumers think
that there is very little difference. This is not true. The differences
are many and somewhat complex.
Professional Resolution
If you went to a professional colorist or stylist, contact them immediately
to report your color problem. Most experts believe you have a 48-72
hour window before the color has a change to lock into the cuticle.
Prompt action is critical for safe color correction. Don't get wrapped
up in the blame game. While its good to evaluate what went wrong so
you can avoid it again, forgive yourself and your colorist/stylist and
focus on fixing the problem. Avoid outbursts of anger or emotion. Yelling
and forgetting to be polite will only make the situation much worse.
Remember, even the best colorists and stylists in the world can encounter
problems. Give them the benefit of the doubt and be willing to let them
try and fix the color to your satisfaction.
Most professionals will try to correct color problems and will do it
at no additional cost, unless you caused the problem in some way. The
best colorists do know how to correct their mistakes, so give them a
chance to do so. Be sure to ask what the color correction cost is before
you agree to try it at the hands of your hair professional. This allows
you to be clear about your financial responsibility.
Color
Correction Might Take Several Visits
Many consumers with color correction issues don't realize that hair
color can not often be instantly reversed. It can take up to five visits
for some serious color problems to be reversed.
Did I say five visits?
Yes indeed. Hair color is not like paint on furniture that can easily
be removed with paint remover. Haircolor is a lot more like painting
a white wall. Sometimes you can't just paint over the color with corrective
white paint. Many times you have to remove the botched color in several
steps. The same is true with hair color gone wrong. If you go to a color
correction specialist and they tell you that it will take several treatment
sessions, take the time to talk to them and find out why before you
reject the suggestion outright.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HAIR
Can I dye my hair blonde for a
day?
Not exactly... the term "dye" causes a
lot of confusion, but dye generally means making
the hair darker. To make the hair lighter you must use a special
bleach. Hair bleaching is permanent and cannot be rinsed away.
It can be dyed back to it's original color however, but the bleach
does damage to the hair. In extreme cases, where the hair was
dark brown or black and is bleached to blonde, the hair becomes
very thin and resembles the texture of cotton. You can lighten
hair temporarily by using theatrical hairsprays. These come in
every color of the rainbow including white, gray and blonde. These
color sprays actually sit on the outside of the hair strand, and
can be shampooed completely out after brushing the hair.
When buying Professional hair products,
are there different ones for men and women?
There is no practical difference in men's
or women's hair. What works on men's hair works equally well on
women's and vice versa. Products that are marketed specifically
for one sex or the other usually differ in the fragrances they
add.
How often should I change my shampoo
brand?
If you are using professional shampoos,
you may never need to. On the other hand, water conditions can
affect how some products react with your hair. Differences in
water condition may prompt you to change to a different kind shampoo.
If you travel frequently, you may need several different products
depending on the local water conditions. Also, medication you
take orally comes out in the hair. If you have changed prescription
drugs recently, you may need to switch shampoos and or styling
products. If you find that your shampoo is fine for a few days
and then your hair becomes weighted down or coated, you are using
a poor quality shampoo and/or conditioner that is unsuited for
your hair type! Even the time of the year can affect your hair.
In severe climates, many people spend the winter months in dry,
heated homes. Other times of the year it may be humid. Ask your
hairdresser for recommendations.
My blonde hair becomes green when
I use the public swimming pool. How can I prevent this?
Green hair makes it's appearance every
summer. With more and more spas and Jacuzzi's becoming popular,
it is starting to be a year round event. The green color is most
noticeable in blonde hair although it can coat and damage any
hair type.. Most people assume it is from the chlorine used to
purify the water in pools and spas. Chlorine itself is colorless,
but greenish compounds form in the pool/spa environment and are
readily absorbed by porous hair strands.
To remove it from the hair you will need
to use products that are made for this purpose. Your hairdresser
can recommend some chelating and clarifying shampoos. In unusually
difficult cases, where the hair is extremely porous (such as bleached
hair) your hairdresser may need to apply a color stripper chemical
treatment.
Do you know any interesting hair facts:
- The curling iron was developed in 1875
by a Frenchman, Marcel Grateau.
- Canities is the technical term for gray
hair. Trichoptilosis is the technical term for split ends. So
next time you go to the salon, ask your stylist to color your
canities and trim off your trichoptilosis.
- Normally, dry hair can be stretched
one-fifth of it's length before breaking. Wet hair can stretch
between 40-50% of it's length.
- Human hair grows about 6 inches per
year
- Hair grows faster in summer than in
winter.
- It is estimated that 75% of American
women color their hair.
- The only cure for split ends is a trim.
- Hair is composed of 50.65% carbon, 20.85%
oxygen, 17.14% nitrogen, 6.36% hydrogen, and 5.0% sulfur. Hair
also contains trace amounts of magnesium, arsenic, iron, chromium
and other metals and minerals.
- The average life span of a strand of
hair is between 4 and 7 years.
- Blondes typically have the most hair.
Should I change your shampoo frequently
to avoid buildup. It stops working anyway for you after
a while?
False. Some shampoos contain silicone that
temporarily smooth the hair and leave it looking shiny and great.
The fact is simplicity is always best. If you are using
a good shampoo suited for your needs, you shouldn't have to ever,
yes ever, switch shampoos. Seasons changing, our bodies
changing may cause a disruption in how your hair looks and reacts
to a product, but once you find a good shampoo you should not
have to change it. Look to your stylist for guidance. They
will know your hair and suggest the best shampoo for your needs.
Are all shampoos bought in a salon
are the best?
False. Although most shampoos are the very
best in most salons, one may not be right for you. Just
because your best friend uses it and her hair glows after every
use, her hair type and scalp might be different than yours. You
may use it and not get the same results. Once again communication
with your stylist is essential. Most well equipped salons,
if they want your business, will provide you with a sample of
a product to take home to use for a couple of days to see if that
particular one fits your needs. Don't be afraid to ask
If I color my hair too much
it will dry it out and it will fall out or thin more rapidly.
Or I will get
cancer?
Coloring your hair does not cause hair
loss or cancer, period! If your hair is falling out you
need to consult your stylist then your physician. Your stylist
can give you insight i | |
