6.17.19 COLOR THEORY

COLOR PERCEPTION The human eye interprets color in a unique way. Our perception of color is ruled by light 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 WHITE LIGHT SPECTRUM The electromagnetic spectrum 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 wave- lengths the human eye and brain can distinguish. Black is a total absence of light. LIGHT WAVELENGTHS & COLOR The visible spectrum corresponds directly to individual light wavelengths, ranging from 400 to 700 nano- meters (nm), and a color range of violet through dark red. 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 guests usually notice gold 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. Wavelength & Color 2 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: Yellow, Blue and Red. Primary colors are pure and cannot be produced by com- bining 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 brown to tan), 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 created by an equal blend of two primary colors.

Yellow / Red = Orange Blue / Yellow = Green Blue / Red = Violet

3 Color Wheel COLOR THEORY

TERTIARY COLOR Yellow / Green = Yellow + Blue There are six tertiary colors on the color Blue / Green = Blue + Yellow wheel created by an equal blend of one Blue / Violet = Blue + Red primary and one secondary color. Red / Violet = Red + Blue Red / Orange = Red + Yellow Yellow / Orange = Yellow + Red 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, add red to your formula. If you want to make Blue/Green appear more green, add green to your formula. NEUTRALIZING COLOR In the event you would like to neutralize or counteract warmth, use the complementary color located directly across the color wheel. For example, to neutralize orange, you would add blue to your formula. Visualize bringing two complementary colors to an even balance, creating neutral (balanced parts yellow, blue and red). OVER-CORRECT To apply a correction in excess of what is required. For example: if hair is at a pale level 9 and the desired result is violet/blue hair; add violet /blue to over-correct and add more dramatic/extreme coolness.

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 lightness or darkness (levels 1 through 10). Tone – This is the combination of light wavelengths that reflect from the hair strand creating color.

4 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 the undertone. The undertone of the natural hair strand is revealed when lifting natural or artificial color. Undertone 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. However, there may be a slight variation of tone at each level based on the hair strand concentration of eumelanin or pheomelanin. This phenomenon presents slight variation, but the exposed undertone remains in the same range referenced below.

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.

70-90 % 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

6 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 Hair Structure 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 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.

7 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.

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. Hair Strand Growth

8 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.

Only around 10% to 15% of human hair is in the telogen phase at any time. 9 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.

DENSITY This is the measurement of individual hair strands per square inch (2.5 cm) of the scalp. The average hair density is about 2,200 hairs per square inch. The human head is approximately 120 square inches (770 cm) and has about 100,000 hair strands. Blondes average the most hairs per square inch, and Redheads average the least.

TEXTURE The circumference of the hair follicle determines hair strand texture. As the 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 dense hair with a fine hair strand, and some may have lower density (less hair per square inch) with a thick hair strand.

POROSITY Hair strand porosity determines its ability to absorb moisture. The degree of porosity is directly related to the condition of the cuticle layer and can influence the final results of a color service. Healthy hair with a compact cuticle layer is considered resistant, 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 the integrity of the hair strand and achieve optimum results.

10 Properly identifying texture and porosity helps determine color service type, level, and 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). Hold each strand firmly with one hand, and using your thumb and index finger of the other hand, slide from the distal ends 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.

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 hold- ing 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 better than a smooth 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. 11 ANATOMY

HAIR STRAND COLORATION NATURAL LEVEL SYSTEM As in art, the level system for hair is a measurement that determines the saturation LEVEL 10 (or depth) of the lightness or darkness of a color. Whether determining the Virgin Natural Level or the Color Treated Existing Level, always use the L’ANZA Healing LEVEL Color Level Finder. 9 LEVEL • Hold the Natural Level Finder so the numbers are not facing upwards. 8 • Select 2 to 3 swatches close to the level of the hair. Remember that warm hair tones may LEVEL appear lighter and cool tones darker, so it’s important to evaluate the actual level. 7 • Using your fingers, spread the fibers on the swatch and blend it into the hair to make the best evaluation.

HAIR STRAND CONDITION Whether the hair strand is virgin or previously chemically altered, condition and integrity determine 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. Sensi- tized 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 ap- proach 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.

14 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. 15 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 deposit 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).

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. 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 decol- orizers) contain both ammonia and MEA.

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.

16 HAIR COLOR TECHNOLOGY

STABILIZERS These maintain alkali levels in the color for consistent and predictable results. ANTIOXIDANTS 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 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 that decom- poses 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 level of hydrogen peroxide contributes to a lower level of lift.

36 UNDERSTANDING L’ANZA HEALING COLOR

L’ANZA Healing Color also contains our exclusive Color Attachment Technology (Keratin Healing System and Flower Shield Complex), which contribute to better color uptake, more durable color, and healthier hair. The volume of developer helps to determine how deeply into the cortex the color penetrates. Since Healing Color uses a very low percentage of ammonia in the shades, the cuticle layer is less affected during the color service, promoting the shine of the hair.

HOW L’ANZA OXIDATIVE HAIR COLOR WORKS L’ANZA uses one oxidative color molecule to create three different types of color.

OXIDATIVE COLOR PRECURSORS The pigments in oxidative color start off as Precursors, or small undeveloped pigments. As they pass through the cuticle layers and enter the cortex, they interact with the oxidative ingredients to create the color change. Also known as non-direct pigments, oxidative color creates long-lasting, vibrant hair color.

42 SUCCESSFUL COLOR FORMULATION

CONSIDER THE HAIR CONDITION AND POROSITY Condition and Porosity are critical when considering your formula and application approach. • Has hair been previously colored? • Has hair been permed or relaxed? • Has hair been exposed to excessive heat? • What is the overall condition of the hair? Is it healthy or compromised?

REMEMBER, L’ANZA Healing Color is a flexible 3-in-1 system, so you can use one shade to formulate Permanent, Demi Permanent, and Demi Translucent Color for new growth, and the same shade to formulate for Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent Color for the mid-lengths and ends.

POROUS NON-POROUS • Open cuticle layer • Closed, tight cuticle layer • Increased absorption • Resistant to color products • Color fades more easily • Results appear lighter than the • Uneven color attachment Target Color • Does not lighten to Target Color easily

RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION • Use Trauma Treatment before service • Use a Permanent Color formula. or add it to the color formula. • Use the Ultra Natural Series (NN) or the Natural Ash Series • Use the Ultimate Treatment before service. (NA) instead of the Natural Series (N) for gray coverage. • Fill or pre-pigment with Demi Permanent Color formula first. • Fill or pre-pigment the hair when going darker. • Use Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent Color formula. • Use a higher Volume of L’ANZA Cream Developer.

CONSIDER THE HAIR TEXTURE AND DENSITY The texture and density of the hair affects color depth and tone, and how the hair will respond to a color service. • Hair Texture – fine, coarse? • Hair Density – thick, medium, sparse? 43 THERE ARE FOUR STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL COLOR FORMULATION RECOMMENDED BY L’ANZA HEALING COLOR: STEP 1: DETERMINE THE CLIENTS NATURAL OR EXISTING LEVEL Using the L’ANZA Healing Color level finder, identify: • Natural Level (NL) – the level of natural pure 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.

AT SCALP Can you see the natural level or is it previously colored? Be very careful to seek out the true natural level, especially when lightening.

AT MID-SHAFT This section requires care and consideration in formulation. Unless you are lifting, a Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent formula may be your best option.

AT ENDS Porosity and damage from aging, thermal tools and environmental aggressors can create genuine problems for the ends. Use Trauma Treatment to protect the ends prior to color application and promote even color attachment. If ends are darker due to excess deposit from prior color services, consider performing a Beau- tyBath/ToneRe- Boot or use a Demi Translucent formula to refresh.

USING THE NATURAL LEVEL FINDER • Hold the Natural Level Finder so that the numbers are not facing upward. • Select 2 to 3 swatches that are 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 into the hair to make the best evaluation. • When you have decided upon the best match, flip the tab over to view the level. 44 SUCCESSFUL COLOR FORMULATION

Verify the Percentage of Gray Hair (% Gray), using the Percentage Gray Finder in the back of the Swatch Binder or Shade Book. You will need this information to adjust your formula to account for the missing pigment in gray hair. As a general guideline, look at the hair – if you see more gray hair than pigmented natural hair, formulate for the gray first then account for the natural pigments. Do you want to neutralize these pigments or enhance them? This will make a difference in the shade selection. For additional information, refer back on formulation for gray hair.

ACCOUNT FOR GRAY COVERAGE When formulating for gray coverage, remember to add the missing pigments to the hair. This can be done by adding a shade from one of the following series at the same level as the Target Color. * • The Ultra Natural Series (NN) for ultra-coverage • The Natural Ash Series (NA) for cool coverage • The Natural Violet Series (NV) for balanced coverage REMEMBER TO • The Natural Series (N) for up to 50% gray coverage VERIFY THE PERCENTAGE OF PERCENTAGE OF GRAY FORMULATION INFO* GRAY HAIR Using the L’ANZA 0 - 25% Add 25% – 50% NN, NA, NV, N to the formula Healing Color Percentage Gray Finder, verify 25% - 50% Add 50% – 75% NN, NA, NV, N to the formula the percentage of gray hair. You need 50% - 75% Add 75% – 100% NN, NA, NV to the formula this information to adjust your formula to account for the 75% - 100% Add up to 100% NN, NA, NV to the formula missing pigment in gray hair.

* Examples based on one application with 30g of Healing Color. 45 TONE AND BASE COLOR First, consider the tone you want to see in the Target Color results. Tone is the warmth or coolness of a color. • Warm tones reflect light and appear lighter, up to level 7. • Cool tones absorb light and appear darker, under level 6. The dominant base tone in any hair color mixture will give a shade its overall characteristic.

CONSIDER THE CLIENT’S FEATURES In haircutting, you need to consider a client’s facial features, and determine which you would like to accentuate and which you would like to diminish. The same principles apply to color. Color can make hair look thicker or finer, more or less dense, solid or broken textured, shiny or duller. Color can also influence the client’s complexion, making it look less sallow, ruddy or flushed.

46 SUCCESSFUL COLOR FORMULATION

STEP 2 – DETERMINE THE TARGET COLOR DESIRED Changing level and tone requires specific formulation and must CONSIDER THE be considered to ensure exact final results. Determine Target UNDERTONE Color (TC) and color. As you lift to a lighter level, you will also uncover Are you going lighter or darker? How many (if any) levels? warmth. Please refer to the Undertone Chart. What is the natural undertone at the starting level or at the existing level?

UNDERTONES TONE WHEN DECOLORIZING If you are decolorizing, remember to consider the undertone exposed during the 7 stages of lift.

Pale Yellow

Yellow

Gold

Red-Orange LEVEL

Red

Brown

Black

47 STEP 3 – DETERMINE THE UNDERTONE This is an easy determination once you’ve established Steps 1 and 2. Is the final color hue of the TC changing? Is it red, orange, yellow, etc? When formulat- ing, you will need to determine if you want to maintain, neutralize or enhance the natural undertone to achieve your final goal.

USING THE NATURAL LEVEL FINDER • Hold the Natural Level Finder so that the numbers are not facing upward. • Select 2 to 3 swatches that are 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 into the hair to make the best evaluation. • When you have decided upon the best match, flip the tab over to view the level. 48 SUCCESSFUL COLOR FORMULATION

STEP 4: FORMULATE 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 will help you choose the appropriate color used (Permanent, Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent) and developer level for each shade and section of the hair strand.

Implement Steps 1 through 4 to calculate the perfect color formula. Consider:

1. NATURAL AND EXISTING LEVEL 2. TARGET COLOR DESIRED 3. UNDERTONES FOUND AT NATURAL/EXISTING LEVEL (when lifting) OR TARGET COLOR (when depositing) 4. SELECT SHADE AND DEVELOPER VOLUME

Formulate according to your findings and choose Permanent, Demi Permanent or Demi Translucent Color with the appropriate volume of developer to achieve your final goal.

49 FORMULATION FOR GRAY HAIR

COVERAGE FOR RESISTANT GRAY HAIR When formulating for any resistant gray hair, L’ANZA recommends: • The Ultra Natural Series (NN), which contains increased pigment concentration to provide complete gray coverage. • Use 10 or 20 Volume Cream Developer for 45 min.

RETOUCH APPLICATION Apply your new growth formula at the scalp first. Then, as you apply the refresh formula, cross-check for complete color saturation at the scalp.

50 FORMULATION FOR GRAY HAIR

APPLICATION TIPS FOR OPTIMAL GRAY COVERAGE 1. Use L’ANZA Protective Barrier Cream to protect skin from staining. 2. Take thin slices and apply color on both sides of the part. 3. After applying color, cross-check application. If you applied the color in horizontal sections, re-work color in vertical sections. 4. Be sure the hair is thoroughly saturated during the application – especially around hairline.

Hair porosity, previous color applications, and build-up of artificial pigments may not lift as expected. If the hair is not suitable to decolorizer after your strand test discoveries, recommend the proper L’ANZA treatment and regimen to prepare the hair for future service. A strand test is particularly valuable when removing artificial pigments from the hair. Before applying Decolorizer to the entire head, L’ANZA recommends that you conduct a strand test first to evaluate how easily the hair color will lift. CONDUCTING A STRAND TEST • Assess the hair and formulate the appropriate Decolorizer formula. Mix a small batch. • Isolate a small, unnoticeable section of hair, and apply the Decolorizer formula. • Check regularly to evaluate the level of lift and processing time. • Look for any potential issues such as uneven lift, the appearance of bands, or stubborn color deposits that show little signs of lift. • Determine if you should proceed with the Decolorizer service and/or recommend other services for the client.

USE OF HEAT L’ANZA DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING HEAT DURING PROCESSING OF DECOLORIZER Using heat may cause: • Excessive swelling of the cuticle, which can lead to compromised hair integrity and damage. • Increase sensitivity of the scalp, causing itching and burning for the client’s skin and/or eye irritation. APPLICATION Proper application is essential. • Be sure to take fine slices during application to make sure the hair is fully saturated with the decolorizer.

L’ANZA does not recommend placing a plastic cap over the head during processing time. This will prevent the ammonia gases from escaping, and may increase sensitivity, itching and/or redness. 66 GLAZING DEMI TRANSLUCENT FORMULA After Decolorizing, a Demi Translucent formula is often your best option for toning/glazing. For natural looking blondes with either warm or cool tones, we suggest using the following shades.

L’ANZA Healing Color was designed to be applied to the hair with a brush and bowl. FOR BEST RESULTS • Take fine slices of hair to ensure even saturation. • Thoroughly lay the color with your brush on the hair. Do not “scrape” the hair with the bristles, as this will remove color from the hair. • Be sure to cross-check your application to make sure all hair is thoroughly saturated. • Apply color up to the hairline. The Protective Barrier Cream will help prevent staining of the skin, but will not block hair color coverage along the hairline.

DO NOT OVERWORK THE HAIR! PROCESS FOR THE FULL TIME During application, do not “overwork” the hair by moving If you remove the color before the end of the processing time, it back and forth too much or combing back and forth the color molecules will not have the proper time to fully develop. after application. This may increase client sensitivity and This may affect the tonality of your end result, or it may affect also cause the color to shift. the durability of your client’s color, causing it to fade quickly Apply it right the first time – you’ll get better results and save time! or off-tone.

77 MEASURING HEALING COLOR: THE L’ANZA SCALE

The use of the scale is simple and will ensure correct, predictable and accurate formulation for each application. The use of the scale will also help save money, because you can measure the exact amount of color needed. SCALE USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Place empty color bowl on scale. 2. Turn on scale. 3. Select grams or ounces. 4. Measure the correct amount of color into the bowl. 5. Measure correct amount of developer into the bowl.

TIPS • Turn scale on and press the “tare” button to set to 0 (do this after you set your bowl at the top.) • If you have unused color following your application, you can measure the remaining color left in the bowl and record this information on your Client Record Card. Next time, you can adjust the amount of product you prepare, saving product and money.

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 or 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. 78 PREPARING THE HAIR FOR A COLOR SERVICE

Professional Service COLOR ATTACH Step-1 | Color Pre-Treatment • Significantly improves color attachment for both oxidative and direct dye services • Primes the hair fiber to boost color uptake and deposition • Creates color attachment sites in the cortex to improve color adhesion • Deposits more pigments per square micrometer • Equalizes porosity for more even coverage • Increases color density by 48%

CORTICAL ADHESION TECHNOLOGY™ To boost color uptake and deposition, Lipophilic Receptors are infused into the hair and affixed to the cortical membrane. These receptors establish color attachment sites within the hair that dramatically in- crease adherence of color pigments. This advanced technology ensures maximum pigment density per square micrometer for unmatchedhair color richness.
