Q

How can percentage of white hair affect the service?

A

High percentage of white hair will require the addition of base colors to ensure even coverage and the use of 20vol.

It may also be resistant to coloring products and may require pre softening.

Development times may increase

Use base colors when mixing. Pre soften hair when required.

Q

How can strength if hydrogen peroxide affect the service?

A

Hydrogen peroxide strength will be determined if the lift of depth is required or deposit of tone, if coloring white or sensitized hair.

Low volume strength/ percentage for when yiu are depositing tone and darkening the hair.

Higher volume/percentage when lifting colour and lightening the hair.

Q

How does existing colour of hair affect the service?

A

The depth of the existing colour will affect the colour produ t choice and may require pre lightening if the depth is too dark

Desired results might not be achievable

Avoid overlapping existing colour

To neutralize unwanted tone, use the opposite colour on the colour star/wheel

Prelighten hair is degree of lift cannot be achieved.

Q

How can the room temperature affect the service

A

Temperature can slow down or accelerate the process

In hit temperatures colour should be applied quickly and evenly, starting with the most resistant areas and development monitored continually. In cold temperatures additional heat may be used to accelerate the development process.

Q

name the different types of melanin in the hair

A

Eumelanin (granular, bigger, dark brown, determines depth)
Pheomelanin (smaller, diffused, through cortex, pale yellow, reddish or ash in colour, determines tone and makes yellow and red hair)

Q

How can Eumelanin and Pheomalanin affect the hair and the service carried out?

A

The proportion of EUmelanin and Pheomelanin in the hair determines

how much lift can be expected,
which products should be used
the strength of the peroxide

Q

How do semi-permanent colour work on the hair?

what is its PH?

A

A mixture of colour molecules enter the cortex and lie on the outer edge of the cortex, these are gradually removed by shampooing.

has a PH value of 6.8

Q

How do quasi permanent colours work on the hair?

what is its PH?

A

Ammonia opens the cuticle for colour to enter. Different sized molecules enter the cortex and are oxidised by the oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide. Smaller molecules are gradually lost each time the hair is shampooed.

has a PH value of 7.5-9.5

24
Q

What effect does temperature have on the application of the product?

A

On virgin hair to ensue an even result, the colour should be applied to the middle lengths first then the ends and finally the roots. On virgin hair, if the correct application process is not followed, heat from the scalp would cause the colour to look brighter or lighter at the roots.

25
How does temperature affect the Development of colouring and lightening process?
Heat will radiate from the scalp and will make hte colour or lightening product develop more quickly and this will affect the method of application A very warm salon will make the colour or lightening product develop more quickly. A cold salon will slow down the development of the colour Added heat will make the colour or lightening product develop more quickly
26
Why would you pre soften the hair?
To lift the cuticle when the hair is resistant to colour Allow the colour to penetrate more efficiently
27
What is the method of pre softening the hair?
Low volume hydrogen peroxide is applied in neat sections to dry hair. The hair is then dried with the hydrogen peroxide on the hair. Now the chosen colour can be applied
28
What is the method for pre pigmenting
Apply warm shade of pigment from any type of hair colour at Depending on the product used for pre pigmentation, it will determine if the product needs to be removed prior to the application of the target colour.
29
What are the safety considerations that have to be taken into account when colouring hair ``` C P I C A P S D D ```
Client is gowned and protected PPE is used Identify contraindications Carry out necessary tests Analysis of hair condition Previous chemicals on the hair Supervise thorough removal of colouring product Do not use lighteners, colour removers, permanent colour Do not provide service for minors under 16 years
30
What is the acronym that list the responsibilities that people have with chemicals under COSHH
SHUD STORE HANDLE USE DISPOSE
31
Why is it important to check electrical equipment prior to use?
To prevent harm to self and others and to prevent the risk of electrical shock
32
What is the workers responsibility with PPE?
To examine it before use Wear it in accordance to instructions Clean and store after use as required by the salon
33
What is the employers responsibility with PPE?
To supply PPE to all employers for free, and replenish it Train all staff how to use it correctly Identify risks involved when workers use PPE
34

Damage to muck tissues of mouth and nose Respiratory tract damage Damage to the lungs
35
State 5 methods of using lighteners correctly
1. Gloves 2. Work in well ventilated area 3 check the condition of the hair 4 see if treatment is achievable 5 test the hair and the skin
36
Explain why it is important to question clients and to establish any contra indications to the colouring of lightening service
1 know service can be carried out 2 makes salon look bad 3 makes sure clients are satisfied
37

State the legal significance of questioning the client and recording their responses
If a client takes legal action you need evidence.
39
WHY, WHEN and HOW do we conduct the elasticity test
Why - to determine the condition of the cortex as well as the strength of the hair When - this is Carrie out on wet hair prior to the service How - take a strand of hair and stretch using finger and thumb
40
WHY, WHEN and HOW do we conduct the porosity test
Why - to determine the absorbability of the cuticle as well as the condition of the cortex When - This test is carried out prior to the service How - Take a strand of hair and slide fingers from tip to root
41
WHY, WHEN and HOW do we conduct the incompatibility test
Why - this is to determine the presence of metallic salts When - Prior to the chemical service How - Take a strand of hair, place in a bowl. Apply 20mls of 20mls of 20 Vol (6%) and 1 drop of Ammonium hydroxide (perm lotion)
42
WHY, WHEN and HOW do we conduct the skin test
