COLOR THEORY

Color Perception – The Color Wheel – The Language of Hair Color COLOR THEORY COLOR PERCEPTION The human eye interprets color in a unique way. Our perception of color is ruled by wavelengths, and how they absorb or reflect from a surface. Our eyes are sensitive to light, so color perception depends on how individual light wavelengths react to a surface, creating visible light. Humans see hair color based on how individual light wavelengths are absorbed or reflect from each hair strand.

Color Perceptions LIGHT SPECTRUM The of light that passes through our atmosphere is known as the visible (or white light) spectrum. The white light spectrum is a combination of all visible saturated color wavelengths the human eye and brain can distinguish. is a total absence of light.

LIGHT WAVELENGTHS & COLOR The corresponds directly to individual light wavelengths, ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers (nm), and a color range of violet through dark . Every surface absorbs, diffuses, combines and/or reflects each light wavelength, enabling the human eye and brain to perceive color.

With up to a 700 nm wavelength range, dark red is longest. As red dominates all other wavelengths, the human eye is naturally drawn to red (or warmth). This is why salon Wavelength & Color guests usually notice and red tones. It also explains why red color seems to fade more quickly than other tones; the loss of those light wavelengths has a more dramatic visual impact.

At 400 nm, violet has the shortest wavelength, and the human eye has a struggle seeing lighter levels that are cooler. Based on this simple fact, a colorist must be more “aggressive” with decolorizer, prior to applying a glaze to refine warmth. COLOR THEORY THE COLOR WHEEL As with art, hair color formulation and final results are ruled by the color wheel. We use three categories to formulate color. These categories help determine tonal value (warm or cool): Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.

PRIMARY COLOR There are three primary colors on the color wheel: Warm , Cool and Warm Red. Primary colors are pure and cannot be produced by combining other colors. The color wheel range then expands through the combination of two primary colors in various percentages. The only exception to this is neutral (or ), which is a combination of all three primary colors in balanced percentages, depending on their saturation level (dark to light).

SECONDARY COLOR There are three secondary colors an equal blend of two primary colors. = 50% Yellow + 50% Blue Violet = 50% Blue + 50% Red = 50% Red + 50% Yellow

TERTIARY COLOR There are six tertiary colors on the color wheel created by an equal blend Color Wheel of one primary and one .

Yellow / Green = 75% Yellow + 25% Blue (Yellow + Green) Blue / Green = 75% Blue + 25% Yellow (Blue + Green) Blue / Violet = 75% Blue + 25% Red (Blue + Violet) Red / Violet = 75% Red + 25% Blue (Red + Violet) Red / Orange = 75% Red + 25% Yellow (Red + Orange) Yellow / Orange = 75% Yellow + 25% Red (Yellow + Orange) COLOR THEORY ENHANCING COLOR To intensify or magnify a color, add more of the desired tone. For example, if you want to make Red / Violet appear more red (warm)… Add red to your formula. If you want to make Blue / Green appear more green (cool)… Add green (yellow + blue) to your formula.

NEUTRALIZING COLOR In the event you would like to neutralize (or counteract) a color, use the comple- mentary color located directly across the color wheel. For example, to neutralize orange, you would add blue to your formula. Visualize bringing two to an even balance, creating neutral (balanced parts yellow, blue and red).

THE LANGUAGE OF HAIR COLOR Understanding the language of hair color is the key to simplified formulation and exceptional results. There are three primary terms used when discussing hair color:

Hue – This is the name of a color - red, brown, blonde…etc. Saturation – This is the amount of absorption, or depth of or darkness (levels 1 through 10). Tone – This is the combination of light wavelengths that reflect from the hair strand (violet through dark red) creating color. COLOR THEORY NATURAL HAIR STRAND LEVEL & UNDERTONE As discussed earlier in this manual, hair level is determined by the saturation (or depth) of lightness and darkness. Each level of saturation in the natural hair strand reveals its melanin tone referred to as undertone. The undertone of the natural hair strand is revealed when lifting color to a higher (or lighter) level and must be considered in every color formulation. When lifting (lightening) the hair strand, the undertone is exposed at each level. As the wavelength of light shifts with each level, so does the perception of warmth. This is caused by more red and fewer violet light wavelengths reflecting from the hair strand at each level. The most dramatic example of this is the visual warmth revealed at level 7 and above. The measurement of saturation level (dark to light) remains consistent - only the tone shifts as levels change. There may, however, be a slight variation of tone at each level based on the hair strands concentration of eumelanin or pheomelanin. This phenomenon presents slight variation, but the exposed undertone remains in the same range referenced below.

ANATOMY

The Anatomy Of Hair – Hair Strand Growth – Hair Strand Abundance – Hair Strand Formation – Hair Strand Coloration – Hair Strand Condition ANATOMY THE ANATOMY OF HAIR Humans grow hair everywhere on the body, except on the soles of our feet, the palms of our hands and our eyelids (with the exception of our eyelashes). Like skin, our hair is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium made of multi-layered flat cells whose rope-like filaments provide structure and strength to the hair strand.

Hair Strand Composition Human hair is comprised of six key components that provide overall health and manageability.

70-80 % Protein Keratinized Protein creates strength and resilience in hair 10-15% Moisture Natural moisture softens hair and adds flexibility 3-6% Lipid Oils Lipids keep hair soft and supple 1% Pigment The natural melanin pigments in hair absorb UV light and add color .05-.5% Minerals Minerals are residual elements in hair .1-.5% Carbohydrates Carbohydrates serve as the intercellular cement in hair that binds the hair strand together

Hair Structure ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND STRUCTURE The root of the hair shaft is located below the surface of the scalp. Once hair leaves the root, it is a compilation of fully keratinized cells. Though no longer living, these cells are bound together in three layers.

The Cuticle This is the outermost layer of the hair strand and serves as a protective barrier, shielding the inner layers from environmental damage. The cuticle layer consists of overlapping transparent scale-like cells, resembling the shingles on a roof. A healthy, compact cuticle layer adds shine and luster to a hair strand. An unhealthy, damaged cuticle layer appears dull and rough. It is difficult to maintain consistent color vibrancy on hair with a damaged cuticle layer.

The Cortex Consisting of approximately 90% of the hair strand, the cortex layer is the fibrous protein core that provides strength, elasticity and natural color with melanin pigment. Permanent oxidative hair color, and all other permanent salon services alter the cellular structure within in the cortex.

The Medulla This is the innermost layer of the hair strand, and is not affected by salon services. Very fine and light blonde hair are usually lacking a medulla layer.

Hair Structure ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND GROWTH Human hair grows at an average of 1.25 centimeters (½ inch) per month, or 15 centimeters (6 inches) per year. As the hair grows, environmental influences such as heat styling or chemical alteration affect the overall health of the hair strand. For optimum service results, divide the hair strand into three sections.

Proximal New Growth Closest to the scalp, the proximal new growth of the hair strand is most vulnerable to chemical aggressors. This ¼ to ½ inch of new hair strand growth reacts to our natural body heat and responds differently to hair color and other in-salon services.

Hair Strand Growth Medial Mid-Lengths The medial portion of the hair strand extends beyond the proximal new growth. If present, the medial mid-lengths react differently to hair color, as there is little, to no natural body heat. Other influencer such as previous hair color services, damage from styling tools, and/or other environmental aggressors can alter hair color results in this section of the hair strand.

Distal Porous Ends The distal porous ends extend past the shoulders, beyond the medial mid-lengths, and must be considered in hair color formulation. If present, their integrity may have been chemically or mechanically stripped through repeat decolorization, hair color services or excessive heat styling. ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND GROWTH CYCLE Hair follows a specific growth cycle with four distinct and concurrent phases: anagen, catagen, telogen and exogen. All four phases occur simultaneously where one strand of hair may be in the anagen phase, while another is in the exogen phase. Understanding the hair strand growth cycle explains why some guests have hair that grows in uneven patterns, or they experience extreme hair loss.

Anagen Phase Catagen Phase Talogen Phase Exogen Phase The growing phase This is a transitional Lasting approximately This is the transitional that determines phase where the hair three months, the phase between the the length of a hair follicle shrinks and talogen phase is a old hair shedding strand.

A healthy human average of two to phase lasts about During this phase, sheds 50 to150 seven years. ten days. the “old” hair rests hairs daily. in place while a new hair begins its growth phase. Only around 10% to15% of human hair is in the talogen phase at any time. ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND ABUNDANCE Density, Texture and Porosity play a significant role in formulating hair color. Each must be considered for optimum results in a color service. LEVEL 10 Density This is the measurement of individual hair strands per square inch (2.5 cm) of LEVEL 9 the scalp. The average hair density is about 2,200 hairs per square inch. The human head is approximately 120 square inches (770 cm2) and has about LEVEL 100,000 hair strands. Blondes average the most hairs per square inch, and 8 Redheads average the least. LEVEL 7 Texture LEVEL The circumference of the hair follicle determines hair strand texture. As the 6 circumference of the hair follicle expands, so does the thickness of the hair strand. There is no relation between texture and density in human hair. Some may have LEVEL 5 dense hair with a fine hair strand, and some may have lower density (less hair per square inch) with a thick hair strand. LEVEL 4 Porosity LEVEL Hair strand porosity determines its ability to absorb moisture. The degree of porosity is 3 directly related to the condition of the cuticle layer and can influence the final results LEVEL of a color service. Healthy hair with a compact cuticle layer is considered resistant, 2 and requires a higher alkaline solution to permit even saturation. Porous hair with a raised cuticle layer requires a lower alkaline solution with a lower pH, to protect LEVEL 1 the integrity of the hair strand and achieve optimum results. LEVEL Properly identifying texture and porosity helps determine color service type, level, and 0 developer. The easiest way to determine the porosity of hair is to take a small section of several hair strands in four areas of the head (front hairline, temple, crown and nape). Natural Level System Hold each strand firmly with one hand, and using your thumb and index finger of the other hand, slide from the distal end to the scalp. If the hair is smooth and slick, it most likely has a compact cuticle layer and will be resistant. If the hair is rough, it is most likely porous. ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND FORMATION While the hair follicle size governs texture, its shape determines hair strand formation. Humans generally have one of three types of formation: straight, wavy, or curly.

Straight Hair Strand Formation A round hair follicle produces a straight formation. Straight hair tends to be very soft, shiny, and poor at holding curl. Straight hair generally has a compact cuticle layer and is difficult to damage.

Wavy Hair Strand Formation A more oval hair follicle usually produces a wavy “S” patterned hair strand. Density and porosity determine color results, but wavy hair generally holds style well with a smooth, to average cuticle layer.

Curly Hair Strand Formation The flatter the hair follicle becomes, the curlier the hair strand grows. This is because the shape of the hair follicle allows more cysteine to compact together, resulting in a bent shape. With every additional disulfide bond, the shape becomes curlier in form. Curly hair presents an “S” pattern and tends to combine thickness, fullness, body and/ or frizziness. The cuticle layer of curly hair strands generally ranges from average to porous. ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND COLORATION Natural Level System As in art, the level system for hair is a measurement that determines the saturation (or depth) of the lightness, or darkness of a color. Whether determining the Virgin Natural Level or the existing Pre-Color Treated Hair Level, always use the L’ANZA Healing Color level finder.

• Hold the Natural Level Finder so the numbers are not facing upwards. • Select 2 to 3 swatches close to the level of the hair. Remember that warm hair tones may appear lighter and cool tones darker, so it’s important to evaluate the actual level. • Using your fingers, spread the fibers on the swatch and blend it into the hair to make the best evaluation. • Select the best match, then flip the tab over to view the level.

Proper use of the L’ANZA Healing Color Level Finder ensures accuracy when formulating. As level interpretation may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, using a level finder guarantees you are on target. If you are off a level or two, your formulation and final result will be off as well.

Gray vs. White Hair Generally associated with aging, gray or white hair is lacking pigmentation and melanin. Beyond the natural aging process, ethnic heritage, albinism, thyroid deficiencies, Waardenburg syndrome or a vitamin B12 deficiency can also be contributors to loss of pigmentation, causing hair to become gray.

To determine the percentage of gray hair, use the Percentage Of Gray Finder in the back of your L’ANZA Healing Color Swatch Binder or Shade Book. Like the Natural Level Finder, this tool helps you correctly formulate a hair color to neutralize or enhance the natural gray coloration of the hair strand (discussed later in this manual). ANATOMY Natural Melanin Pigments There are two types of natural melanin pigments in hair.

• Eumelanin is the melanin that Eumelanin is the darker pigment Phaeomelanin is the lighter lends black and brown colors to and is responsible for brown and pigment and is responsible for black hair colors. blonde and red hair colors. hair. A low concentration of brown eumelanin results in blonde hair, whereas a higher concentration of brown eumelanin colors the hair brown. High amounts of black eumelanin result in black hair, while low concentrations result in gray hair.

• Pheomelanin is the melanin Dark brown hair will have Blonde and hair will have • High levels of Eumelanin. • High levels of Phaeomelanin. that gives blonde and red colors to • Low levels of Eumelanin. • Low levels of Phaeomelanin. hair. All humans have some pheomelanin in their hair. It is more chemically stable than black eumelanin, but less chemically stable than brown eumelanin. Levels of melanin vary over time, causing a person’s hair color to change. When oxidized, pheomelanin breaks It is possible for a person to have a combination of light pheomelanin rich, down more slowly, revealing a reddish and dark eumelanin rich hair strands on their head at the same time. This tone in darker hair during the is difficult to detect with the naked eye, but is why some level 7’s lift cool lightening process. Whether using and some lift warm. decolorizer or a high-lift tint, pheomelanin continues to break down during the lightening process. Hair gradually becomes orange, then yellow, and finally white. ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND CONDITION Whether the hair strand is virgin or previously chemically altered, condition and integrity determines the final result of a color service.

Virgin (natural) Healthy virgin hair has good porosity and elasticity. Hair strand abundance and formation determine color formulation, and is generally easiest to formulate for optimum results.

Virgin Sensitized Just because a hair strand hasn’t been previously colored doesn’t mean it is in optimal condition. External aggressors such as excessive heat from hot tools, sun, abrasion from hair ties, rough combing/ brushing, hard water, chlorine, minerals and medication can alter the condition of virgin hair. Sensitized virgin hair should be treated according to pre-treatment protocols described later in this manual, for optimum color results.

Color Treated A previously color treated hair strand requires a specific approach to color application. Levels of alkalinity and pH should be taken into consideration during formulation to maintain optimum hair strand health, and final color results.

HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY

Hair Color Chemical Attributes – Hair Color Developer Attributes – Choosing And Understanding Color Systems HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY HAIR COLOR CHEMICAL ATTRIBUTES What is in the bottle or tube of hair color you are using? Each color system or brand infuses special nuances that make their color unique. Pigment levels, alkali percentages and conditioning agents vary from system to system, but the overall science is universal to all hair color brands.

COLORANTS These are the color pigments or dyes used to create the final tone (shade). There are two types of colorants used in hair color.

Direct Dye Direct dyes are large pre-formed dye molecules that need no source of oxygen to express their tonality. Generally, they sit on top of the hair strand as a stain, or penetrate the cuticle layer slightly. Direct dyes may also be used in conjunction with oxidative color as an assistant to color perception. In permanent hair color, direct dyes are usually used to enhance and brighten tone.

Oxidative Dye Oxidative dyes are the binding of small colorless (undeveloped) pigments that require an oxygen source to express their tonality. When mixed with an alkali source, oxidative dye molecules penetrate past the cuticle into the cortex and chemically change, creating a new tone. The two connecting sources of undeveloped pigment and oxygen are also referred to as Primaries and Couplers. The most effective way to permanently change the natural color of a hair strand (cover gray, lighten and/or permanently change tone) is to use an oxidative dye. This allows the colorist to lift and deposit color through a chemical alteration of the cortex and its natural level of melanin. HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY ALKALI - AMMONIA OR FIXED ALKALI (MEA): The average pH of human hair is between 4.5 and 5.5. A hair strand kept in this range remains healthy with a compact cuticle layer to protect the cortex. During the permanent and demi-permanent color and lightening process, the pH level of a hair strand must be raised to an alkaline level (higher than its natural pH). Raising the pH level of a hair strand causes it to soften and swell, forcing the protective cuticle layer open. This process allows lightening or darkening of the hair strand through the deposite of new hair color pigments. There are several types of alkaline derivatives, though the most commonly used in hair color are ammonia and fixed alkalis. An example of a fixed alkali is MEA (Monoethanolamine).

Ammonia: Raises pH level in a hair strand between 10 and 10.5 MEA: Raises raise pH level in a hair strand between 9 and 10

The level of the hair color being used and the desired level of lift determines where each alkali source sets in their individual pH alteration. Higher lift colors and decolorizers create higher levels of pH in the hair strand. As you can see, both ammonia and MEA significantly raise the pH in a hair strand, and both can cause damage if aggressively misused. It is also important to note that many color brands (and their respective decolorizers) contain both ammonia and MEA HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY Surfactants These are commonly used in shampoo to lower the surface tension between the hair strand and dirt/debris. They act as a gentle detergent in hair color to help rinse processed color from the hair strand.

Chelators These bind the color molecules and “break through” small amounts of build-up on the hair strand.

Stabilizers These maintain alkali levels in the color for consistent and predictable results.

Anti-Oxidants These prevent the accumulation of oxygen in the bottle/tube. Oxygen can cause the color to begin its oxidation process prior to color application.

Conditioners These protect hair strand strength and infuse moisture, reducing damage during the color process. HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY HAIR COLOR DEVELOPER ATTRIBUTES Developer, when mixed with the alkali in hair color, creates a catalyst to processing during a color service. The combination of developer and hair color enables the effectiveness of alkali, oxidative color and the deposit of colorants during a color service. Hair color developer contains hydrogen peroxide that decomposes over time, and releases oxygen. One volume of hydrogen peroxide makes 20 volumes of oxygen; this is why a color formula is strongest when first mixed. The percentage of hydrogen peroxide in a developer determines how long oxygen is released, and in some cases can alter the processing time of a color service. Hydrogen peroxide also reduces and fractures melanin in the hair strand, exposing natural undertone (also referred to as warmth). Developer is measured by its percentage of hydrogen peroxide to determine strength, and level of deposit during a color process. Generally speaking, a higher level of hydrogen peroxide in developer contributes to a higher level of lift. In contrast, a lower the level of hydrogen peroxide contributes to a lower level of lift.

Developer Levels

10 VOLUME – 3% One level of lift in a natural hair strand. 20 VOLUME – 6% Two levels of lift. 30 VOLUME – 9% Up to three levels of lift. 40 VOLUME – 12% Up to four levels of lift. HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY CHOOSING AND UNDERSTANDING COLOR SYSTEMS One-Component Color Systems without an oxygen source present to create a chemical reaction within the hair strand.

Temporary Hair Color: Made with direct dyes that stain the cuticle layer of the hair strand. Temporary hair color lasts up to three shampoos, depending on the hair strand porosity and condition. There is no source of alkali used to alter the pH level of the hair strand.

Semi-Permanent Hair Color: Made with direct dyes that deliver color to the cuticle and slightly into the cortex. Semi-permanent hair color lasts up to eight shampoos, depending on the hair strand porosity and condition. Has a slight alkali pH level. Two-Component Color Systems with an oxygen source present to create a chemical reaction within the hair strand. HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY Demi-Permanent Hair Color: Made with oxidative and direct dyes that deliver color to the cuticle and partially into the cortex. Color is usually tone-on-tone, but may expose a small amount of lift in the natural hair strand. Has an acidic, or low alkali pH level of ammonia or MEA.

Permanent Hair Color: Made with oxidative and direct dyes used to create lift (of natural melanin only), and to deposit artificial pigment deep within the cortex. Has an elevated alkali pH level of ammonia or MEA.

Multi Component System Lightener/Decolorizer: Lifts the hair strand 4 or more levels by effectively shattering existing natural melanin and artificial pigment within the cortex, altering saturation. Also commonly used for foil and balayage highlights prior to a glaze. Has a high alkali pH level.

STEP 1: DETERMINE THE CLIENT’S NATURAL AND EXISTING LEVEL Using the L’ANZA Healing Color level finder, identify: • Natural Level (NL) – the level of natural virgin hair that has not been previously colored, lightened or chemically altered. • Existing Level (EL) – the level of previously colored, lightened or chemically altered hair.

REMEMBER TO VERIFY THE PERCENTAGE OF GRAY HAIR Using the L’ANZA Healing Color Percentage Gray Finder, verify the percentage of gray hair. You need this information to adjust your formula to account for the missing pigment in gray hair.

ACCOUNT FOR GRAY COVERAGE When formulating for gray coverage, add a shade from one of the following series at the same level as the Target Color. • The Natural Violet Series (NV). • The Ultra Natural Series (NN). • The Natural Series (N).

PERCENTAGE OF GRAY FORMULATION INFO*

0 - 25% Add up to 25% NV, NN or N to the formula

25% - 50% Add up to 50% NV, NN or N to the formula

50% - 75% Add up to 75% NV, NN or N to the formula

75% - 100% Add up to 100% NV or NN to the formula THE MECHANICS OF SUCCESS STEP 2: DETERMINE THE TARGET LEVEL DESIRED Changing level requires specific formulation and must be considered to ensure exact final results.

DETERMINE TARGET LEVEL (TL) Are you going lighter or darker? How many (if any) levels? What is the natural undertone at that level?

STEP 3: DETERMINE THE UNDERTONE FOUND AT THE TARGET LEVEL This is an easy determination once you’ve established Steps 1 and 2. Is the final color of the Target Color (TC) changing? Is it red, orange, yellow…etc? When formulating, determine if you want to maintain, neutralize or enhance the natural undertone to achieve your final goal.

4 Dark Brown Red Violet Yellow – Green

3 Brown/Black Violet NONE

2 Dark Brown/Black Blue Violet NONE

1 Black Blue NONE THE MECHANICS OF SUCCESS STEP 4: SELECT THE SHADE AND DEVELOPER VOLUME NEEDED TO ACHIEVE YOUR TARGET LEVEL AND TONE Confirm the change in level at the proximal new growth, medial mid-lengths and distal porous ends of the hair to achieve the target level and tone. This step helps you choose the appropriate color process (Permanent, Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent) and developer level for each shade and section of the hair strand.

STEP 5: FORMULATE Implement Steps 1 through 4 to calculate the perfect color formula.

CONSIDER:

1. NATURAL AND EXISTING LEVEL 2. TARGET LEVEL DESIRED 3. UNDERTONE FOUND AT TARGET LEVEL 4. SELECT SHADE AND DEVELOPER VOLUME

Formulate according to your findings. Choose Permanent, Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent Color with the appropriate volume of developer to achieve your final goal. THE MECHANICS OF SUCCESS CONDUCTING A PATCH TEST A patch test is always recommended to protect the client from unexpected sensitivity during a color service. This is a vital practice, especially for a new guest, as some people are sensitive to hair color ingredients. To perform a patch test:

1. Cleanse a small area of the skin behind the ear on the inner surface of the forearm, using either soap and water or alcohol. 2. Mix a small quantity of the hair color formula as prepared for actual use. 3. Apply color to the prepared area and let dry completely. 4. After 48 hours, gently wash the test area with soap and water. 5. If no irritation or inflammation is apparent, it is usually assumed that no hypersensitivity to the formula exists.

Don’t forget the Protective Barrier Cream! PREPARING THE HAIR FOR A COLOR SERVICE A number of factors can prevent optimum color results.
