skillS Unit 5
Preparing a colouring treatment
B efore colouring hair, a stylist must make sure the client

is properly protected because the chemicals used in
colouring and lightening treatments can damage clothing,
skin and hair. For this reason, it is recommended to use
clean towels, gowns and waterproof capes and, in case, to
apply a barrier cream along the edge of the hairline of the
client.
The colourist must wear protective equipment, too: an
apron and gloves.
Then, it is important to check the client’s scalp, looking
for any cuts or areas of irritation and choose the correct
products to use. After that, the colourist can comb through
the client’s hair and remove tangles carefully. Before
using the product, the colourist must not wash the hair
because hair mustn’t lose its protective natural oil. Always
remember to make sure the client is comfortable and offer
beverages and reading material since the waiting time may
be boring.
Before using chemicals, always read the manufacturer’s
instructions and handle the products with great care to
minimise the risks of any accident.
3 Your
boss tells you to prepare a client for a colour treatment. Make a list of things
you need according to the text.

COLOURING skillS
Colour consultation
H air colour is genetic, and the natural pigments of hair are in the
cortex. Cells called melanocytes in the cortex of the hair shaft
produce two colour pigments: eumelanin and pheomelanin. People
who have naturally brown or black hair have lots of eumelanin;
people who have red or blonde hair will have more pheomelanin.
Changing the natural hair colour means altering those pigments.
That’s why, before applying the colour, the hairdresser must carry
out a technical diagnosis, that is a careful analysis of the structure
of the hair. This will help the stylist to understand a number of
things about the client i.e. hair type, hair texture, percentage of
white hair and previous services carried out on the client.
24-48 hours before the colouring treatment, it is advisable to carry
out a skin test, too, to ensure the client has no allergic reactions
to the products the hairdresser will use.
Another test that may be carried out is the incompatibility
test, which is used to detect chemicals that could react with
hairdressing processes such as colour or perm. As with skin tests,
the results should always be noted on the client’s record card.
5 A
new client is very curious about natural hair colour and asks you these questions.
Try to answer in the simplest possible way.
1. What does hair colour depend on?
2. I’m strawberry blonde, what does it mean?
3. Is hair colour genetic?
4. How do you know if my hair will absorb the colour?

3. Weak c. Pollice

skillS Unit 5
Hair shades
D ifferent combinations of eumelanin and pheomelanin produce

the many different natural colours of hair. Colours come in
different shades, which is how light and dark they are. In the shade
chart there is an international numbering system which helps
determine the depth of natural hair.
Hair shades are numbered between 1 and 10, from the darkest
to the lightest shade.
If a person has no more pigments in the hair shaft, they will have
white hair. Reasons for white hair include ageing, trauma, shock,
heredity, stress or childbirth.
Each brand can call the colour products in different ways, but on

universally stands for the base or level (the natural/virgin hair
colour). The second and the third number represent the shades or
tones (i.e. gold, copper, ash…) and they could vary from company

To become an experienced colourist, it is really important to learn
what colours neutralise unwanted tones. The colour star helps – ageing: invecchiamento

COLOURING skillS
Colouring
T o permanently colour hair, hair dyes use a combination of the chemicals ammonia and hydrogen
peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide works by bleaching out the natural colour and releasing oxygen,
which allows chemical reactions to take place. Ammonia breaks down the outer cuticle around the hair
shaft, allowing the other chemicals to enter the hair, where the colour development can take place.
At present there are three main types of products to colour hair:
1. permanent colouring: it covers up to 100% of grey hair, it doesn’t wash out, the colour result is
long-lasting and the only reason for further application is the appearance of natural coloured roots;
2. tone-on tone colouring: it doesn’t contain ammonia, but it can cover grey hair in a very natural
way without radically changing the base colour of the client.
This kind of colouration adds shine and creates movement; it holds
for around 6 to 8 weeks. – to add: aggiungere

How to colour hair
A fter consultation, technical analysis and the final decision on what

colour to use in accordance with the client, follow these steps to
colour hair:
• make sure the client wears the necessary garment protection;
• comb hair and disentangle it;
• read the instructions and the guidelines carefully to find out how
long to leave the colour in the hair and how to prepare it;
• wear gloves;
• prepare the colour by mixing the cream with the activating emulsion
in a bowl or applicator. To mix and then distribute the product,
prepare a plastic comb;
• apply the product on dry, unwashed, naturally dirty hair from the
roots towards the tips. If the hair is too dirty, give it a quick wash and
blowdry. In case of a great amount of white hair, consider a longer
setting time for a more effective cover-up;
• after setting, rinse and wash hair twice with a mild shampoo;
• use a conditioner.
Remember not to use dyes if there was an allergic reaction after the test.

COLOURING skillS
Highlights
H air highlighting and lowlighting means changing a person’s hair

colour using lightener or hair colour to colour hair strands rather
than the full head. Highlights are sections of hair that are lighter than – to bring out: evidenziare, fare spiccare
– cheekbone: zigomo
the rest; lowlights are the opposite: the colour of the streaks is darker – to show off: mettere in risalto
than the base or the natural colour. – streak: striscia, banda, striatura
Highlights and lowlights can accentuate eye colour, bring out – thicker: più spesso
– tip: punta
cheekbones, and even slim faces. They show off the lines of your cut,
create depth, and the illusion of fullness. They work for all tones.
There are four types of highlights:
• foil highlighting is the process of using foil to separate strands
of hair which will be lightened from strands of hair which will
remain their natural colour;
• hair painting is a hair highlighting technique that involves
using hands to get natural looking highlights. It’s sometimes
referred to as palm painting;
• frosting is the process of free-hand lightening the tips of the
hair and it is generally performed on short hair;
• chunking is a style of highlight which is larger and thicker
than a traditional highlight to create more contrast.

Trendy colour techniques
• Balayage is a highlighting technique. During a balayage service the colourist

paints bleach or haircolour just on the surface of the hair freehand; the
colourist doesn’t saturate the entire section with dye. The result is soft,
natural-looking, sun-kissed highlights that easily blend in as hair grows longer.
• Ombre. In this haircolour technique, the root haircolour gradually fades into
a much lighter haircolour at the ends, such as blonde. This technique is very
similar to dip dye, also known as “tip dyeing”. However, dip dyeing usually
uses brighter neon colours and less smooth gradient in colour than Ombre
style, which is typically a more natural coloration.
• Sombre. With this method there’s a lower contrast between the hair at the
roots and the hair at the ends. Some versions of sombre are blonde sombre,
caramel sombre and mocha sombre.
• Splashligts. To do splashlights, the colourist paints a streak of bleach across
the hair and dyes the sections above and below it in a colour similar to your
natural shade. The result is a halo of colour that works with any length.
• Hairgloss. It’s an ammonia-free semi-permanent alternative to classic hair dye
which can help to maintain haircolour and deepen or tone down colour. It
gives shine to the hair.

COLOURING skillS
Removing products
T he colourist’s role may include that of removing any undesired ‘effects’

from the client’s hair. It is equally important to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions to colour hair as well as to remove the colouring products.
To remove a colouring or lightening product the stylist needs a colour
removal shampoo and then a suitable antioxidant conditioner or surface
conditioner. Antioxidant conditioners will replace lost moisture, will help
prevent further oxidation of the hair and will return the pH of the hair to its
normal acid value.
Colouring hair may create some problems like dry, weak and dull hair. Colouring
and perming are the worst chemical services for the health of hair. These chemical
treatments alter the structure of the hair depriving it of its proteins. Proteins and
amino acids can be replaced with proper shampoos and conditioners; that’s why
it is important to explain to clients how they should look after their hair at home. – to deprive: privare
The hairdresser should help the client to maintain the colour of their hair by selling – further: successiva
– lost: persa
the correct after-colour care products. Conditioning, for example, is essential. – role: ruolo
It adds elasticity and keeps hair from breaking during styling or brushing.
