When all three primary colors are present in equal proportions the resulting color is ______, _____, or ______ depending on the level of color.
black, brown, or gray
Define Temporary Color, Include how the color works, is there a Chemical Change, do the color molecules penetrate the cuticle? Why?
Creates fun, bold results that easily shampoo from the hair and neutralizes yellow hair
-The pigments in temporary color are large and do not penetrate the cuticle layer, allowing only a coating action that may be removed by shampooing
-Nonoxidative color that makes a physical change and not a chemical change
With grey hair the _______ become inactive and the hair strand gradually losses its color.
melanocyte cells (melanin)
What is the Tone and Background of a 4NA?
Black to Gray Blue/Violet
What is the Mustache when referring to the extension weft?
The short return hairs at the top of a machine-tied weft. They resemble a small fringe or "mustache" and can sometimes cause irritation.
Intermediate color achieved by mixing a secondary color with its neighboring primary color on the color wheel in equal amounts. What are these 6 colors?
blue-green blue-violet
red-violet red-orange
yellow-orange yellow-green
Define Semi-permanent Hair Color, Include how long it lasts, is it oxidative, and how the pigment molecules penetrate to achieve the color.
Introduces clients to hair color services
Adds subtle color results
Tones pre-lightened hair
Formulated to last through several shampoos, depending on the hair’s porosity
The pigment molecules are small enough to partially penetrate the hair shaft and stain the cuticle layer, but they are also small enough to diffuse out of the hair during shampooing, thus fading
Lasts 4-6 weeks
Non-oxidative
Deposits only
When using a ______ on the hair the melanin is diffused (removed) from the hair until the desired level is achieved
lightener or bleach

Blends gray hair
Enhances natural color

Refreshes faded color
Filler In color correction
Deposit color but do not lift
Less alkaline then permanent colors and mixed with a lower volume
Ideal for:
Introducing a client to a color service, as these products create a change in tone without lightening the natural hair color
Blending or covering gray
Refreshing faded permanent color on the midshaft and ends
Color corrections and restoring natural color
The porosity of the hair will determine how the color is accepted.
With ________ the cuticle layers are tightly packed. Color absorption may take longer or you may have to add additional pigment to ensure color absorption.
With _______ the hair may grab the color too intensely or the color may fade out quickly. In this case a condition filler would be required
resistant porosity (Low)
extreme porosity (High)
What is the strongest pigment in a 5N?
Blue (Brown to tan Blue/Violet)
What Extension type is
A newer hybrid weft that combines the thinness of hand-tied wefts with the customizability of machine wefts—can be cut without unraveling.
