I trained in L’Oreal when I turned 50, did 2 yrs at college but felt colour theory wasn’t covered enough, to busy doing competitions.. so I am so pleased I found you! I’m still growing in the industry and it’s tough to say the least when going it alone, so thankyou..❤️

@clarewagner1487 4 жыл бұрын

Very good information. My formulation factors have always been 1. Natural level 2. Desired level+ tone 3. Percentage of gray 4. Natural underlying pigment( which is important because that is half of your formula- even if you dont want it! 5. Porosity 6. Texture- This one is almost always overlooked but VERY IMPORTANT because you will need a higher level developer for coarse hair because of the cuticular layer and less percentage of developer for fine hair.

Hi James! Thank you for all of your great videos. I have only been doing hair for a few years and lightening with color is my Achilles heel! Your video today is pretty straight forward which is great! But my questions are 1) Do I just add a combination of blue/violet to whatever I'm using to lighten? 2) What about the underlying pigment in the hair? Not just what's going into my bowl? I had a client recently level 6, 25% grey. I used 8Ab because it matched her hair perfectly and I was only doing roots. I added 1/2 an oz of 8N for the gray to 1 1/2 oz of the color and 20 vol. She went orange. I just don't get it. I thought since I was using Ab the blue would counteract any orange. Is it the N that did it? Thank you for your time.

Beth minardi has made it really simple. (Natural Level + level on the box + 20v) divided by two = the level you will get. Knowing that, add in kickers or additional toning pigments as needed. I have a level 6, fine client that I foliage with Wella 10/81 + an inch of blue additive + 20v and it makes the most beautiful, neutral light brown accent. People who have done shampoo blow dries on her when I’m not around have been like, “is you’re color natural?”

@esteranine7227 3 жыл бұрын

Do you add mix tones to natural base (in this case violet & blue)? Or do you use tint that already got it in? I work with Schwarzkopf colours and they are nightmare - so limited, keep coming out with new colours then discontinue them... so the got something like 8-1 (ash) and 6-9 (the lightest violet). What would be exact formula you would use in above example? x

@TheLifeOfHair 3 жыл бұрын

To be honest with you you could use either a colour with it in already so 8.1 for instance Or you could pick a base colour and adding your ash shade that you desire another example would be 8.0 with equal parts 8.11 or something similar to that does that answer your question? Let me know if not

I’m still so confused because I don’t understand why we have different colors like for example if I lifted my client to a level 9/10 and I use redken 9v sometimes I end up with too much violent tones or if I use 9p then it turns green so why are we using formulas that doesn’t fit for a level 9/10 lift because no matter what it will always be yellow or with some orange so why don’t we just use a 9vb to simply neUtrize . So I would have to pretty much use redken 9v and 9b in order to neautrize but then it could get to green .

@thelittlefish5016 4 жыл бұрын

You would get green if there's little yellow and too much blue.. Same with violet.. if there's too much violet and little yellow, it would turn out more violet than desired.. If that's been happening to you maybe you need to add some clear to the mix in order to dilute the shade a bit ;)

The little fish very well explained good job

@TheLifeOfHair 4 жыл бұрын

Okay so the little fish explained it pretty well to be fair if you are getting green that is because you have got blue and yellow interacting with each other you will need some red to ensure that you do not get this greening affect happening the red and the blue mix together will create violet this will avoid any green tones. As far as when you’re using Redken 9V 9P or any other shade if you are seeing the tone over the existing Colour you are placing it on e.g. your lifting the hair to a level 9/10 and then turning it on a level nine and your colour is turning purple or grey or whatever colour you are getting as you describe this is because your tone is too strong there is a good chance you are lifting it lighter than your accounting at for so As the little fish said I didn’t clear to dilute delete 9 to something a bit more subtle will definitely fix your problems equally adding in some natural also reduce the strength of the V or P 😁👍🏻 I hope that helps

Just a thought that the hair could also be more porous and absorb more of the tone than it should. I find adding olaplex to my toners really helps

I have a question i coloured my hair is faded from purple to light gross green, dark green and purple now i am thinking of colouring my hair orchid or yellow or orange. Do i need to use joico direct dye remover or i can just paint it again? Do i need to remove the keratin treatment from my hair before proceed to color them again?

@TheLifeOfHair 3 жыл бұрын

Oh that is a very very challenging question to answer on KZfaq I’ll be perfectly honest I’ve got no experience with Joice colour remover So I can’t comment on that specifically I would say though as your hair is currently purple green and dark green you can’t just paint any of those colours straight over the top of it you will need to do some kind of preprocessing to remove those colours enough to be able to put any of those colours over the top so whether that is Jaico colour remover or another brand As far as removing keratin treatment before you proceed that is not necessary keratin treatments don’t generally have a negative effect on the hair colouring process having a keratin treatment after a colour though can have a negative effect on the colour
