The Law of Color
What is a system for understanding color relationships.
100
Amino Acids
What is the elements COHN
100
Temporary Haircolor
What is a nonpermanent color whose large pigment molecules prevent penetration of the cuticle layer, allowing only a coating action that may be removed by shampooing.
100
Concave rods
What is have smaller circumference in middle than on ends.
100
Eumelanin
What is the melanin that lends black and brown colors to hair.
200
Primary Colors
What is pure or fundamental colors (red, yellow, and blue) that cannot be created by combining other colors.
200
Peptide bonds
What is join amino acids together
200
Semipermanent Haircolor
What is a no-lift deposit-only nonoxidation haircolor that is not mixed with peroxide and is formulated to last through several shampoos, depending on the hair’s porosity.
200
Straight Rods
What is consistent diameter.
200
Pheomelanin
What is the melanin that gives blond and red colors to hair.
300
Secondary Colors
What is a color obtained by mixing equal parts of two primary colors.
300
Polypeptide chains
What is long chains of amino acids
300
Demipermanent Haircolor
What is a no-lift deposit-only color, is formulated to deposit but not lighten color. These are able to deposit without lifting because they are usually less alkaline than permanent colors and are mixed with a low-volume developer.
300
End Papers
What is single/double, flat wrap, and bookend wrap
300
Contributing Pigment
What is the varying degrees of warmth exposed during a permanent color or lightening process.
400
Tertiary Colors
What is an intermediate color achieved by mixing a secondary color and it’s neighboring primary color on the color wheel in equal amounts.
400
Keratin proteins
What is long, coiled polypeptide chains
400
Aniline Derivatives
What is dye precursors, small, uncolored dyes that combine with hydrogen peroxide to form larger, permanent dye molecules within the cortex.
400
Thio Neutralization
What is stops the action of a permanent wave solution and rebuilds the hair in its new curly form.
400
Level System
What is the unit of measurement used to identify the lightness or darkness of a color.
500
Complementary Colors
What are primary and secondary colors positioned directly opposite each other on the color wheel.
500
Keratin proteins
What is long, coiled polypeptide chains
500
Permanent Haircolor
What is lighten and deposit color at the same time and in a single process.
500
Base Cream
What is also known as Protective Cream
500
Gray Hair
What is hair that has lost its pigment and is normally associated with aging.
