Demipermanent Color
Also called 'no-lift', deposit only color. Formulated to deposit, but not lift (lighten) natural hair color. Able to deposit with out lifting because they are less alkaline than permanent color and are mixed with a low volume developer.
Tone
Also called hue of color, the balance of color.
Lighteners
Chemical compounds that lighten hair by dispersing, dissolving, and discolorizing the natural hair pigment.
Hair Lightening
Chemical process involving the diffusion of the natural color pigment or artificial color from the hair.
Secondary Color
Color obtained by mixing equal parts of two primary colors.
Highlighting
Coloring some of the hair strands lighter than the natural color to add the illusion of sheer and depth; do not generally contrast strongly with natural color.
Weaving
Coloring technique in which selected strands are picked up from a narrow section of hair with a zig-zag motion of the comb, and lightener or color is applied only on these strands.
Double Process Application
Coloring technique requiring two separate procedures in which the hair is pre-lightened before the depositing color is applied; also called two step coloring.
Slicing
Coloring technique that involves taking a narrow, 1/8 inch section of hair by making a straight part at the scalp, positioning the hair over the foil, and applying lightener or color.
Soap Cap
Combination or equal parts of prepared tint and shampoo applied to the hair like a regular shampoo.
Aninline Derivatives
Contain small, uncolored dyes that combine with hydrogen peroxide to form larger, permanent dye molecules with in the cortex.
resistant
Difficult for moisture or chemicals to penetrate. Characteristic of some hair types that makes penetration by moisture or chemicals difficult
Color Filler
Equalize porosity and deposit color in one application to provide a uniform contributing pigment on pre-lightened hair.
Pre-lightening
First step of double process haircoloring, used to lift or lighten the natural pigment before the application of tones.
Virgin Application
First time hair is colored.
Metallic Color
Haircolors containing metal salts that change color gradually by progressive buildup and exposure to air, creating a dull, metallic appearance.
semipermanent haircolor
ADDS SUBTLE COLOR RESULTS: Rato last through several shampoos partially penetrates the hair shaft and stains the cuticle layer slowly fading with each shampoo
Tertiary Color
Intermediate color achieved by mixing a secondary color and its neighboring primary color on the color wheel in equal parts.
Permanent Color
Lighten and deposit color at the same time and in one application. They are more alkaline than no lift deposit only haircolors and mixed with a higher volume developer.
Cap Technique
Lightening technique that involves pulling clean strands through a perforated cap with a thin plastic or metal hook.
Level
Lightness or darkness of a color. Refers to the saturation, concentration, or density of a color. Answers the question, how much color?
Volume
Measure of varying strengths (concentration) of hydrogen peroxide. The higher the volume, the greater the lifting action.
volume
Measures the concentration and strength of hydrogen peroxide
Semi-permanent Color
No-lift, DEPOSIT COLOR ONLY, non oxidation haircolor that is not mixed with peroxide and is formulated to last through several shampoos.
Temporary Color
