Haircoloring

Some of the reasons why we color our hair ,because we want to enhance our haircolor,change our haircolor or cover gray. we must give a hair consultation before a haircolor is given. A patch test determine whether you have any allergies or sensitivities to the color mixture. Another name for the patch test is a predisposition test. A patch test take 24 to 48 hours prior to application of the haircolor . The best place to apply the tint fore the patch test is behind the ear or onide of the elbow.

Spiral rolls and Styling

The students are spiraling the entire head of the manikin.
After the spiral is completed, the students will style the manikin using a curly spiral style.

Hair Coloring Theory (Part 1)

Temporary hair color
Temporary hair color is available as rinses, shampoos, gels, sprays, foams among others. This type of hair color is typically brighter and more vibrant than semi-permanent and permanent hair color. Temporary color is most often used to color hair for special occasions and is often used in unusual shades for events, parties and Halloween.
The pigment molecules in temporary hair color are large and cannot penetrate the cuticle layer. Instead, the color particles remain adsorbed (closely adherent) to the hair shaft and are easily removed with a single shampooing.
However, even temporary hair color can persist if the user's hair is excessively dry or damaged, allowing for migration of the pigments to the interior of the hair shaft.

Semi-permanent hair color
Semi-permanent hair dye has smaller molecules than temporary dyes, and is therefore able to partially penetrate the hair shaft. For this reason, the color will survive repeated washing, typically 4-5 shampoos. Semi-permanents contain no developer, peroxide or ammonia, and are therefore safer for damaged or fragile hair. However, semi-permanents may still contain the toxic compound P-Phenylenediamine or other such ingredients.
The final color of each strand of hair will depend on its original color and porosity, so there will be subtle variations in shade across the whole head. This gives a more natural result than the solid, allover color of a permanent dye. However, it also means that gray or white hairs will not dye to the same shade as the rest of the hair. If there are only a few gray/white hairs, the effect will usually be enough for them to blend in, but as the gray spreads, there will come a point where it cannot be disguised.
In this case, the move to permanent color can sometimes be delayed by using the semi-permanent as a base and adding highlights.
Semi-permanent color cannot lighten the hair.

Spiral Perm Rods Part 2

Today we used the perm rods. Students worked on their manikins to rod half the hair. We will do the other section on monday.  I will check the manikin for proper technique and  tightness. Students will be graded according to their level of expertise.

Draping and perm Rods

Proper draping serves to protect the client's skin and clothing.
Before draping, the students must sanitize hands.

Perm Rods are placed in the hair using a sprial technique.
Students are encouraged to practice this method at home and
in the lab.

On base curling

Today we worked on the on base curl technique.
I would like for you to practice this type of curling at home.
You can use any type of curling iron that you have.

Madam C.J.Walker

She was an entrepreneur who built her empire developing hair products for black women.
She is credited with the invention of the hot comb. She was the first self made African-American millionaire.

Marcell Curling

Today you learned on-base & off base curling with Marcell irons and stoves. You must be proficient with the Marcell iron in order to style hair and advance to the next lesson. You will be given a performance test on this at a later date.

Today in our advanced class we worked on our winter and spring fashion show. We came up with an idea for real hair styles for the "Thriller" spring show in memory of Michael Jackson. We will also have our fall hair show for the last week of October or the first week of November. We will be putting more infromation about this event on the blog at a later date.
In our Intro. class we came up with the idea of doing real hair for the winter show as opposed to using manikins. One of the most exciting thing we did in class was to express and design our fantasy gowns on paper. Now, tomorrow don't forget your items for "free style". I will be seeing what stlyes you all can create with your manikins...

Salon Decorating

Part of the salon owner's experience is the ambience of the interior. It is essential to the client's experience. Students in each block helped to enhance the beauty of the Pebblebrook salon. Each student worked in groups to style the walls, stations, and styling areas.
