What is the processing time?
Shades EQ:
Demi-Permanent
Processing Solution

What is the difference between level and tone?
Level- the lightness/darkness of a color

What is the alkali agent in the haircoloring process and what does it do?
The tube of color, swells the cuticle to receive the color molecules
Fusion:
What classification of haircolor is it?
What developer does it use?
What is the processing time?
Fusion:
Permanent
10-40 developer
35-45 minutes
Semi-Permanent:
What is the color molecule?
Where does the color molecule deposit in the anatomy of the hair?
What developer does it use?
Semi-Permanent:
Pre-Oxidized
On the hair cuticle
None, it is a direct dye
When do we fill and why?
When going two or more levels darker, to fill in the otherwise missing underlying pigments
What is the natural underlying pigment at a level 8?
Yellow Orange
When using a Processing Solution developer, what are your options in your clients end results? Why?
Stay the same level, change the tone
Go darker
Because Processing Solution developer is a deposit ONLY developer
Pulp Riot:
What classification of haircolor is it?
What developer does it use?
What is the processing time?
Pulp Riot:
Semi-Permanent
None
25-45 minutes
Demi- Permanent:
What is the color molecule?
Where does the color molecule deposit in the anatomy of the hair?
What developer does it use?
Demi-Permanent:
Pre-Oxidized and Oxidative
On the cuticle and inside the cortex
The line’s single developer
What is “underlying pigment?”
The color that naturally lives at the corresponding level and is present underneath the color that is visually seen
What is the underlying pigment that the European Scale has that the American Scale does NOT have? What level does it live at?
Blue Violet, level 2
When using a 10-40 volume developer, what are your options in your clients end results? Why?
Stay the same level, change tone
100% gray coverage
Go darker
Up to 4 levels of lift *on virgin hair
10-40 volumes give a lift and shift
