Consulting with client Colour application is the probably the most profitable hair service in a salon. This is due to;•Fashion trends.•More people are experimenting with home colouring products. •Due to advertising, clients are more educated about hair products.•Clients expect advanced services from a hairdressing salon. •People living longer and wanting to look younger.

Colour correction is a growing market. Clients are looking for change. They may want;•Modifications of what they have had before.•Something totally new.•Their dark roots lightened to match the over-processed, lightened ends, which are the result of previous treatments.

The biggest problem a hairdresser has is getting an honest history of what has taken place before. What products were used, when they were used and how they were applied. A further reason for the increase in clients wanting colour correction is the unrealistic expectations they may have.

Highlights and lowlights are very appealing for a first time colour client.They are a great way of;•Subtly covering grey hair.•Introducing clients to colour.•Personalising colour to individuals.•Expressing the hairstyles’ features.Unfortunately when the hair grows, it is the re-growth that creates the problems for the client.

FORMATIVE TASK 1. DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGHLIGHTS AND LOWLIGHTS? DOCUMENTWrite a description of the difference between highlights and lowlights. Submit your document to your trainer.


Sharing your knowledge

As a colour technician you have a responsibility to solve complex colour problems and share your knowledge with other salon members. You can do this by;•Developing knowledge - study manufacturer’s instructions and attend workshops and courses.•Maintaining knowledge - test your skills and knowledge through practical application. •Sharing knowledge - demonstrate your knowledge by sharing it with other staff members.

Follows these steps as a guideline for sharing knowledge. •Explain the task.•Use logical steps.•Demonstrate the task.•Reinforce the key points.•Check the persons understanding- if possible observe them performing the task.•Ask if there are any questions.


Client consultation and hair analysis Correct analysis of the points listed below is vital in making the correct colour and product choice. •Skin tone and scalp condition.•Natural hair colour (level and overtone).•Artificial hair colour (level and overtone).•Percentage of colourless hair (grey/white).•Quality and condition of the hair. Skin tone. Your client’s skin tones will vary dramatically. Some of your clients may have very pale skin, others will have very dark skin and anywhere in between. You would not use the same colour on all the clients. Colours need to compliment the client’s skin tone. Natural level and overtone/reflect. The natural level and overtone/reflect means the natural colour of the hair. Is the hair dark or light and does it have warm overtone/reflect or cool overtone/reflect? By establishing the natural overtone/reflect level you will be able to decide which product to use to achieve the desired result. Artificial overtones/reflect. If your client has an existing artificial colour, you need to establish the level and overtone/reflect of the artificial colour previously used. When you have completed this you will then be able to decide which product to use to achieve the desired result.

Hair length.The amount of hair will determine how much colour you will need to mix to achieve the desired results.


Hair and scalp analysis

You must always check the scalp before commencing any colouring services.

You need to look for;•Excessive dryness.•Redness.•Irritation.•Broken or bleeding skin.•Rash.•Infection or disease.

Checking the condition of the scalp. •Gently brush or comb the hair in different directions.•Section the hair neatly at different parts of the head and look at the scalp.•Check the hairline and nape.•Check behind the ears.

Elasticity.An elasticity test should be carried out to ensure that the hairs strength is adequate for the service. You need to notice;•If the hair snaps straight away (do not colour).•If it stretches but does not spring back (do not colour).•If it stretches and springs back a little (treat carefully).•If it stretches and springs back completely (can colour).


Home colouring products

In every supermarket and pharmacy you can purchase permanent hair colouring products for at home use and they are very popular.

The cost of having your hair coloured at a hairdressing salon is often restrictive for some people so off the shelf colouring products can meet a consumers need. Although the product is not harmful, how it is applied at home can cause problems.

The results can be;•Colour banding.•Over-processing.•Uneven application.•Incorrect colour choice.

A hairdresser needs to ask questions to determine what the client used on their hair.•Did they mix two bottle together?•How long did they leave the colour on for?•Did they apply the colour to the re-growth first or did they cover the whole head at the one time?

FORMATIVE TASK 2. DESCRIBE THE CONSULATION PROCESS YOU WOULD TAKE WITH A CLIENT WHO HAS HOME HAIR COLOURS IN THEIR HAIR? DOCUMENTYou are to write a description of the procedures you would follow in a consultation with the client who has existing home hair colour in their hair. Submit your document to your trainer.


Colour wheel

The colour spectrum consists of seven colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The colour wheel enables you to very easily identify; Primary coloursSecondary coloursComplementary coloursBlending (progression) coloursYou will also know how warm and cool colours are made. Primary colours.All colours start with varying amounts of the primary colours. You can not make primary colours. Primary colours are red, yellow & blue

Secondary colours. They are made when mixing two primary colours together. Each natural hair colour and every artificial hair colouringproduct is a mixture of primary and secondary colours. Secondary colours provide the basis for overtones/reflects. These overtones/reflects are created by adding warm or cool colours to natural levels. Overtones/reflects allow you to give your clients the variation to the colour they want. Regardless of the level of colour the hair strand can show warm or cool lights.

The secondary colours are orange, green and violet

Red + yellow = orangeYellow + blue = green

Blue +red = violet


Tertiary colours Tertiary colours are colours produced by mixing a primary colour with one of its secondary colours. Mixing red with orange produces a red orange. Mixing blue with green produces a blue green. Mixing yellow with orange produces a yellow orange.

You can make variations in colour depending on the amounts of primary and secondary colours you mix together.


Warm and cool colours Warm colours. Now we need to know about warm and cool colours.

Looking at your colour wheel you will see cool colours and warm colours.If you want a colour to be warmer, you add red, yellow, orange and violet. All of these are warm colours and they will add warmth to the colour youare mixing. It is important to remember that warmer colours appear lighter. Cool colours. Just as you can make colours warmer you can also make them cooler. If you have a colour that has too much warmth, you can add extra violet,green, blue or yellow. By adding more of these colours you will make thecolour cooler. Yellow and violet can also be cool as well as warm. A violet with more red will become a warm colour but a violet with more blue will become a cool colour. A yellow with more orange will become a warmer colour but a yellow with more green will become a cool colour.


FORMATIVE CHECKPOINT

Before you can proceed with any further learning or tasks you need to have submittedformative tasks 1 and 2 to your trainer.

Your trainer will contact you to discuss your submissions. They will provide;•Comments that will allow you to improve your submission.•Questions to gain a better understanding of your knowledge of the subject.•General guidance so that you can improve your skills and knowledge.•Encouragement to expand your thinking towards better solutions.

You are to make the necessary changes as instructed by your trainer and submit the documents for re-evaluation. You will be advised when you can proceed with the next section of the learning and assessment material.


Client card

A client card must include client contact details, date of service and operator’s name. Information gathered should also include client history. •Previous client reaction to any skin tests and allergies to past products.•Contraindications.•Client preferred colour service and effects.•History of color treatments, good and bad.•Previous problems and processing times.•Client personal information; cultural backgrounds and any physical restrictions.•Home care products previously purchased by the client.•Further appointments. Home hair care. Each salon provides a range of take home products. Knowledge of these products is essential so that you can recommend home hair care products for your client. You should be offering take-home products every time you are providing services to clients. The basics are shampoos and conditioners.

•Explain the benefits of home hair care products so that your client can maintain the colour and hair condition themselves at home.•Advise the client of when the next colour service may be required.•Explain to the client that excessive heat from tongs and straightening irons can cause damage to the hair. •Explain the affects of exposure to the sun and suggest options to protect the hair from the sun. Suggest your client wears a hat while out in the sun.•Suggest the appropriate styling products which may assist to protect the hair.

COMPLEX COLOUR CHECKLISTPoints to consider

What is the target colour? What service are you providing – tint back, covering grey, toning unwanted colour or lightening virgin hair? Is it achievable in one appointment? Does the client require pre service conditioning treatments? What are the preliminary service requirements? Pre pigmentation Porosity equalisation Are you removing unwanted colour? Which area will you begin? What are the time allocations for the service? What are the risk factors? What are your product choices for the service? What is the cost of the service to the client? What home care products will you have to recommend? Results achieved - did it match the target colour? Did you update the client’s record card?


Strand test for contraindications

A stand test before the colour service will determine;•The correct formulas.•Processing time.•Application sequence.•The reaction of the hair.•The possible presence of a coating on the hair from previous applications that could be damaging when the new colour is applied.•Whether the target colour is achievable.

Strand test procedure.1. Gown client for a chemical service.2. Select a small section of hair at the crown of the head.3. Apply the intended colour formula.4. Observe any reactions that may occur.5. Rinse, shampoo and dry the hair.6. Re-evaluate the hair sample and make the necessary colour formula adjustments if required.

Resistant hair.The texture of the client’s hair may affect the overall result of the colour. If the texture is resistant or the client has strong white hair a pre-softening service might be useful. There are two ways to pre soften extreme resistant hair. Test 1. Apply peroxide onto resistant hair leaving for 2 minutes followed by application of desired colour over the top on the peroxide. Test 2. Moray technique. Apply straight base tint onto resistant hair without peroxide then apply desired colour with peroxide over the top. For example; base tint level 6 with no peroxide . Desired colour level 6 mixed.

FORMATIVE TASK 4. CONDUCT STRAND TESTS 1 AND 2 FOR RESISTANT HAIR. PRACTICE AND DOCUMENTConduct each strand test and write a description on the results. Submit the descriptions to your trainer.


FORMATIVE CHECKPOINTBefore you can proceed with any further learning or tasks you need to submitformative tasks 3 and 4 to your trainer.

Your trainer will contact you to discuss your submission. They will provide;•Comments that will allow you to improve your submission.•Questions to gain a better understanding of your knowledge of the subject.•General guidance so that you can improve your skills and knowledge.•Encouragement to expand your thinking towards better solutions.

You are to make the necessary changes as instructed by your trainer and submit the documents for re-evaluation. You will be advised when you can proceed with the next section of the learning and assessment material.


Incompatible chemicals

Incompatible chemicals are chemicals which produce an adverse reaction when mixed together with another chemical.

Metallic salt dyes.These cause the biggest problem because they prevent successful penetration of colour into the hair. They may also cause extreme damage when mixed with bleach, chemical reformation solutions or tints. Metallic salt dyes are available from the pharmacies. They are never used professionally by hairdressers. They may contain silver, lead or copper and form a metallic coating on the hair shaft. They do not require a skin test. Many colour sprays and colour mousses contain metallic salts so be careful when performing other chemical services.

The most popular metallic salt dye is known as hair restorers. The client will apply it daily by combing it onto the hair ‘progressively’. Each day the hair colour goes darker and eventually after 7 to 14 days the grey hair has been restored to its natural colour. If the application is stopped, the colours will fade into unnatural shades.•Lead base will look purple.•Silver base will look green.•Copper base will look red.

Characteristics of hair after metallic salt dyes have been used.•Hair looks dull, colour is uneven.•Hair may be dry and brittle. •There may be a strong and unpleasant odour.

It may be dangerous to remove metallic dyes by usingchemicals. The only remedy is to have it cut out.

Test for metallic salt dyes. •Mix hydrogen peroxide with a few drops of alkaline perm solution in a plastic bowl. •Take a test cutting of your client’s hair and wrap sticky tape on one end to hold the hair together.•Place the cut hair into the mixture and leave for 30 minutes.•If there is fizzing or discolouration then do not go ahead with the service. To do so would cause burning to the client’s scalp and the hair will disintegrate.


Henna

The henna pigment has been used for various centuries. Henna comes from the shrub Lawsonia inermis and is harvested much like tobacco leaf. It is grown mainly in China, India. Pakistan, Iran, Egypt and Tunisia.

Henna can vary in colour from red shades through to nearly black, depending on the where it is grown and which part of the plant it is taken from.•The top leaves of the henna plant produce the red colours.•The centre leaves produce the darker shades.•The lower leaves produce neutral henna, which is used as a conditioning agent only.•Natural henna gives the hair a healthy shine.The leaves are dried in the sun, then the veins of the leaves are removed and the remainder is crushed into a powder. This powder is mixed into a paste and used to colour the hair.

Henna owes its hair colouring properties to the presence of Lawsone which, when mixedwith water, becomes acidic. This acidic solution is then deposited into the cortex layerwhere it combines with some of the S-bonds making it permanent.

This does cause problems when perming the hair as those S-bonds are no longeravailable for re-construction during a cold wave process.

The colour obtained from henna usually ranges from vibrant red to auburn shades. When mixed into a paste and applied to the hair it is left for about one hour. Continued application can cause a build up of colour. Re-growth appears after six week so a retouchis required.

Henna does not require a skin test before application.

Henna plant


Selecting the correct overtone/reflect If your client’s hair has faded since the last colour application, your analysis may be incorrect. Use the hair from the occipital area of the head, under the top layer, to check for the least faded colour. Use your eyes and knowledge of the colour wheel to determine if the overtone/reflect is warm or cool. You can also use the colour chart to help you decide on the overtone/reflect of the previous colour. Determining the strength of hydrogen peroxide to use. When choosing which strength hydrogen peroxide to use you must always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the product you are using. The following examples may not apply to all products. 3% (10 volume) is generally used for;•Colouring pastel shades over pre-lightened hair. •Blending and equalizing colour.•Special ashen results.•Covering white hair.

6% (20volume) is generally used for;•Intense results.•Lightening and colouring.•Covering white hair.

9% (30volume) is generally used for;•Lightening.

12% (40volume) is generally used for;•Lightening.

Porosity equaliser. Porosity is the ability to absorb moisture. The porosity of hair varies from mid-lengths to ends. This effects the results of the colour application.

A protein filler equaliser should be used to even out the porosity before a colour service. This will allow the colour to process evenly and improve the results.

Remember that no-one has the same degree of porosity over their entire head.


Colour selection

When colouring the hair you must analyse;•The natural hair colour for level and overtone/reflect.•The skin tone.•The percentage of natural white hair.•The quality and condition of the hair.•The artificial colour level and tone.

Natural level and overtone/reflect.The level of colour is also known as depth of colour, how light or dark the colour is. This is shown on a scale from black to lightest blonde. The tone is usually described as overtone/reflect and is the colour you see. It could be golden, red, copper or other shades.

Finding the client’s natural level. •Part the hair between the crown and the occipital bone.•Using the natural swatches on the chart, hold them approximately 5cm away from the hair at the root area, not flat on the hair. •Spread the swatch in the direction of the hair.•Match the swatch to the level of the client’s hair. Use the same colour chart to determine the overtone/reflect after youhave established the natural hair colour level.•Is the natural overtone warm or cool?•Is the natural overtone red, yellow, blue or green? It is not necessary to determine the natural hair colour tone if the client’s hair is 80% to 100% white.


Applying colour

Application methods vary from product to product and will also be determined by the desired result from your client.Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Health and safety requirements for applying colour.•Ensure your client is protected from water and chemical spillage with towels and a cape.•Protect your own clothes and skin by wearing protective gloves and an apron. You may need goggles as well.•Keep your work area uncluttered, clean and free from infestations. Sanitise after every client.•Electrical appliances must be kept dry and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.•Follow the manufacturer’s instructions at all times and if a skin test is recommended always carry one out.•Remove any excess product from client’s skin immediately before it has time to stain.

Preparing the client.1. Conduct a hair and scalp analysis on your client.2. Know your manufacturer’s instructions, prepare your trolley and towels, cape, gloves, apron, colour chart, client card, cotton wool, stain remover, plastic wrap, wide tooth comb, bowl, tint brush and hair brush.3. Greet your client and carry out a thorough hair and scalp analysis. Remove any bulky clothing and tuck collars in to avoid staining. 4. Conduct a consultation with your client on their colour choice. Choose the colours and confirm with your client on what has been agreed upon.5. Place a clean towel around the client’s neck with a cape on top, making sure it doesn’t touch the skin on the neck.6. Apply an anti stain product around the hairline making sure you avoid getting any on the hair.


Percentages of grey hair

Some parts of the head, usually around the face will show more grey than other parts. You choose the levels to coverthe grey hair. Taking a sample of hair, if there are 10 grey hair then it means the hair has 10% grey. Using the same sample of hair, if there are 40 grey hairs it means that the hair is 40% grey. Around the front hairline and the nape the hair may be 100% grey, while only 20% grey in the crown area. When colouring grey hair over 30% you must always add a base.

10% grey 20% grey 40% grey 90% grey


Virgin Bleach

The photos on this page are an example of lightening virgin hair. Apply mid lengths to ends, placing cotton wool strips on root area to prevent the product getting onto the roots. Leave to process for 15 to 20 minutes. Apply to roots.

Virgin hair Applying bleach mid lengths to ends

Occupation Health and Safety requirements In particular you must be aware of;•Relevant federal, state and local heath and hygiene legislations and regulations.•Occupational safety and health legislation and regulations.

Client and operator comfort and safety should include;•Following salon work place safety procedures when using heat acceleration equipment during processing.•Following product safety instructions and safety data sheets.•Following safety data sheets when medical advice may be required.•Following salon procedures for gowning client and operator wearing protective clothing.•Following salon procedures for applying anti-stain remover and removing colour stains on the skin.•Conducting a patch test 24 hours before the application of any aniline derivative tint.•Checking the scalp for abrasions. Do not proceed with the service if there are any open cuts or irritations.•Using the mixed formula immediately and discarding any left over product according to salon environmental policies.•Avoiding the product coming into contact with the eyes. Should this occur, rinse eyes immediately with tepid water and refer the client to a physician.•Following infection control guidelines.•Using sanitised applicator bottles, brushes and combs. Use only plastic or glass bowls to mix the colour formula.

FORMATIVE TASK 5. IDENTIFY MANUFACTURER’S OH&S REQUIREMENTS FOR USING THEIR CORRECTIVE COLOUR PRODUCTS. DOCUMENTIn a document compile the requirements for manufacturer’s product safety instructions and submit your document to your trainer.


After care advice

For a client to maintain hair in good condition it is part of your job to inform them of how to look after the coloured hair. This should take place before you begin the colour service. After the service, the porosity of the hair is affected and fading may occur.

Clients need to purchase colour protective shampoos and conditioners as well as protecting their hair when out in the sunshine. Exposure to the sun breaks down the protein structure of the hair, dramatically weakening the hair shaft and reducing its elasticity. This means that the hair breaks easily. The sun’s bleaching also roughens the texture of the hair leaving it dull looking.

The best protection against sun damage is to wear a close weave hat but clients may not be the hat wearing type. You can now purchase hair care items that contain sunscreen such as hair gels, mousses and some hair sprays.

Always know the products you are offering your clients. Read labels, articles in magazines and go searching for information on after care products on the internet. Your clients will appreciate your valuable knowledge.


FORMATIVE CHECKPOINTBefore you can proceed with any further learning or tasks you need to submitformative task 5 to your trainer.

Your trainer will contact you to discuss your submission. They will provide;•Comments that will allow you to improve your submission.•Questions to gain a better understanding of your knowledge of the subject.•General guidance so that you can improve your skills and knowledge.•Encouragement to expand your thinking towards better solutions.

You are to make the necessary changes as instructed by your trainer and submit the documents for re-evaluation by your trainer.
