Hair Coloring Tip Sitemap

Foreword - How to do better haircoloring is a reference book for professional beauticians. It has been developed in the Clairol Institute of Haircoloring by the foremost haircoloring authorities in the country. The book explains through pictures and text the latest haircoloring techniques and products available to the professional colorist.

01. Hair sturcture - Hair tinting is a chemical process. In order to understand the techniques of tinting, it is important to know as much as possible about the chemistry and structure of the hair.

The growing part of the hair lies within a tubular indentation of the skin called the follicle. The bottom of the follicle is penetrated by a small upward-growing projection of connective tissue called the papilla, on which the hair bulb is formed.

02. Haircoloring Products - There are many ways to color hair and many products, which are used for coloring. The most widely used products fall into two classifications—permanent haircolorings and temporary haircolorings. It is essential that the professional tinter understand how the products in each group work and their effects on the hair.

03. Tinting - At is important to arrange a preliminary consultation before beginning coloring.

Conduct the consultation in a well-lighted room. If you are making your color selection during the day, work if possible, in a room which has a strong north light. If color selection is made at night, or if natural daylight is not available, use the best artificial light. For this purpose, incandescent lighting rather than fluorescent lighting is preferable.

04. Color bath - Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath is the amazing product that lightens, colors, conditions and shampoos at the same time. It has made haircolor-ing so easy that any beautician can become a skilled colorist. In one simple operation Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath both tints and bleaches the hair so that the lighter, brighter tones may be obtained without pre-bleaching.

05. Miss Clairol - Many women must be introduced gradually to haircoloring because they are often timid about making a sudden change in their appearance. For these women, Miss Clairol may be used effectively as a Glamour treatment. In three to five minutes, Miss Clairol Glamour treatment will add clear, glowing highlights to the patron's natural shade.

06. Clairol salon - Clairol Salon Formula, an oil shampoo tint, is a permanent, penetrating type of haircoloring and one of the finest tints you can use. Its natural looking colors leave the hair in the best possible condition. In addition to color, Salon Formula contains a superfine, liquid shampoo that cleanses the hair as it colors. It is formulated with fine conditioning oils that leave the hair soft and lustrous.

07. Red fashion - An exciting new group of Salon Formula shades is the Red Fashion Colors. These colors are for women who prefer a brighter, more dramatic haircoloring.

The Red Fashion Colors, unlike other Salon Formula colors, are packaged with Lady Clairol Whipped Creme Hair Lightener. Each Red Fashion package contains a ¾ oz. bottle of Red Fashion Color in Creme Formula and a ¾ oz. bottle of Lady Clairol. When these two bottles are combined they give even greater bleaching action than the lightest red colors in Miss Clairol.

08. Bleaching - One of the most important and essential services in a beauty salon is bleaching. Bleaching consists of removing pigment in order to achieve a lighter shade. It can be a complete coloring treatment in itself or a preliminary treatment to prepare the hair for the application of tints.

As a coloring treatment, it is used to lighten and brighten the hair as many shades as desired.

09. Pre-bleaching - X oday, high fashion blonding is one of the most important and profitable salon services. It offers the best showcase any hairdresser can have for her skill as a haircolorist. For this reason, we have considered pre-bleaching for Clairol Creme Toners apart from regular bleaching.

The key to successful toning results is proper pre-bleaching combined with the right selection and application of the toner color. Hair must be made light enough and porous enough to be receptive to the delicate toner colors.

10. Blonde toners - The popularity of the blonde colors makes them a profitable and important service in any fashion-minded salon. The blonde colors such as Silver, Ash, Platinum, Beige and the new Chiffon series are glamour colors which appeal to fashion conscious women everywhere.

The blonde colors are perfect for the woman who wants extremely light and delicately colored hair.

11. Frosting & tipping - Some of the most interesting and fashionable effects in hair styling can be achieved by Frosting, Tipping and Streaking. These treatments frequently serve as an introduction to bleaching or tinting for the woman who is undecided about more complete coloring. The dramatic results obtained from these hair effects add a fresh fashion note for a woman of any age ... from high school girl to the woman beginning to gray.

12. Rinses - Today, temporary color rinses are experiencing an amazing growth in popularity. This is largely true because of the great strides that have been made in the performance of such products.

Come Alive Rinses by Clairol are perfect examples of superior, modern temporary hair coloring. They make it quick, easy and inexpensive for you to give patrons beautiful, evenly gray hair ... without any of the problems that accompany the use of old-fashioned temporary rinses. And the timid patron does not shy away from temporary rinses because she knows they can easily be shampooed out.

13. Permanent waving - Since almost every salon patron, except those with naturally curly hair, has a permanent wave, the chances are that most of your tint patrons will be permanent-wave customers as well.

Both permanent waving and haircoloring involve changes in the chemistry of the hair so it is important to know how these react on each other, and how to schedule permanent-waving and coloring treatments.

14. Shampooing - Exhaustive research in Clairol’s laboratories has shown that there is a distinct difference in tinted hair and bleached and toned hair. You should know and understand these differences in order to give these two hair types the care they require to keep them in good condition, keep hair color alive and fresh.

15. Reconditioning - Women, today, more than ever, are experimenting with sprays, lacquers, metallic powders and even with hair restorers, hennas, and metallic hair dyes which coat and harm the hair. The chemicals in these products will frequently damage the hair so that it will no longer take a good permanent or a coloring treatment. When hair is in this state, it must be reconditioned before it can be successfully waved or tinted.

16. Removing tint - Sometimes it is necessary to remove tint from the hair in order to apply a new shade. There are three means of doing this:

1. A Clairol Remov-zit treatment
   
   
2. Bleaching with any Lady Clairol Creme Hair Lightener
   
   
3. A Remov-zit treatment followed by a later application of bleach.

The following factors will help you select the best method: the time the patron can spend, the condition of the hair, the degree of tint removal required to make the color change desired.
