How to important to do skin test

It is worth doing skin test 24 hours prior to hair dye or colour especially if you are buying a

new hair dye brand.

Mix a little hair dye and developer and apply behind your ear. If it doesn’t get red or inflamed within 24 hours you can dye your hair with it.

If you experience any symptoms, you are allergic to the hair dye and you mustn’t use it.

There are more and more antiallergenic, ammonia-free and fragrance-free hair dyes so you

should try these.

Make sure that you are not allergic before you apply!

It is more likely to get allergic reaction if you have diabetes or lactase deficiency.

I do advise you not to skip this step!

Hair colour spectrum in hairdressing

Colour theory is basically the colour spectrum.

There are terms that we don’t use in everyday life.

E.g.: for green – matt

         for blue – ash

         for violet - pearl

While bleaching, there might remain yellow (gold), orange (copper) and red shades in the hair. You can neutralize it by applying the directly opposite colour.

For example you can neutralize yellow (gold) shade by violet (pearl).

Orange (copper) can be neutralized by blue and red by green (matt).

I have already talked about natural hair colour, which is the darkness and lightness of hair and the colour tone which describes the characteristic of hair colour and shade

.

Hair dye producers use numbers and letters to describe hair colour and shade.

The number before the dot or backslash stands for the colour while the number after the dot or backslash stands for the shade.

I will show you the numbers of My hair dye producer:

8/34 – light blonde with copper shade

     8 – light blonde – base colour

/3  - gold – the first number after the backslash stands for the main characteristic and shade of  the hair colour .

/  4 – copper – the second number after the backslash stands for the secondary characteristic and shade

10/8 – lightest blonde with pearl shade

10                  - lightest blonde – base colour

            /8 – pearl – main characteristic

I have explained it this way because hair dye producers may use different numbers for colours.

This is why I don’t tell you what number of colour to buy if you want to colour your hair instead I will ask you to buy a 9,10 or 11 colour pear blonde shade at the hair shop. 

I hope it is clear for you now but this is only a segment of colour spectrum so far. I will tell you everything more detailed when it comes to hair dye because without the knowledge of colour spectrum you can’t dye your hair nicely and thoroughly.         

On my video I am changing a colour no. 5 roots into pearl blonde no. 10. It is impossible to achieve this without pre-bleaching.

              

Before sharing the video I will have only one more short writing, namely

-how important to do skin test and

-how important to take care of your blonde hair.

The condition of your hair

I will provide you with a detailed description about the condition of your hair, but our first video is about how to bleach and achieve pastel hair at home.

Have you ever thought that hairdressers consider bleached hair damaged?

While bleaching, your hair tends to suck up more bleach so this can alter the colour of pastel; it might make it darker or greyer. 

You can avoid this if you increase the proportion of mixing by adding mixton. Your hair will never be greyish if you listen to me and follow closely what I do on the video.

Next time I will talk about the colour wheel. It won’t be so easy but I will do my best to explain it clear.

How to recognise the quality of your hair at home

  It is important to know the quality of your hair when it comes to picking bleaching powder and developer (volume).

It isn’t so difficult to decide because you can recognise it by touching your hair or you can also measure your hair thickness by laser.

The quality of hair can be:

-thin: 0,03-0,04 mm

-normal: 0,05-0,07 mm

-thick: over 0,08 mm

If you have thin hair I would recommend you to use bleaching cream because it’s gentler.

If you have thick hair you would need a longer length of action time.
