Motivation.
Once a stylist demonstrates the ability to skillfully color a client's hair, the client will generally:
Remain loyal.
In choosing hair color for a client, a determining factor is the hair:
Structure.
The layer of the hair that provides strength & elasticity is the:
Cortex layer.
The outermost layer of the hair that protects & provides strength is the:
Cuticle layer.
In individual hair strands, hair texture is determined by the:
Diameter.
Hair color applied to fine hair may look:
Darker.
Haircoloring services on coarse-textured hair may take:
Longer to process.
Hair with a tight cuticle resistant to moisture or chemicals is defined as having:
Low porosity.
The predominant melanin that gives black or brown color to hair is:
Eumelanin.
Pigment that lies under the natural hair color is the:
Contributing pigment.
The lightness or darkness of a color is called the:
Level.
The system used by colorists to analyze the lightness or darkness of the hair color is the:
Level system.
Hair color levels are arranged on a scale from:
1 to 10.
Hair color tones can be described as:
Warm, neutral, & cool.
Colors that absorb light & appear darker than their actual level are:
Cool colors.
Warm tones reflect light & may appear:
Lighter.
Colors that are described as sandy or tan are considered:
Natural tones.
The first step in performing a haircolor service is to identify:
Natural levels.
Colors that we see are contained in the:
Visible light spectrum.
Artifical hair colors are developed from the primary & secondary colors that form:
Base colors.
A color that will help minimize orange tones in the hair is a:
Blue base color.
A system that is used to understand color relationships is the:
Law of color.
Colors that are pure or fundamental & cannot be achieved from a mixture are:
Primary colors.
The primary colors are:
Yellow, blue, & red.
The darkest & only cool primary color is:
Blue.
Red added to blue-based colors will cause them to appear:
Lighter.
A color achieved by mixing a secondary color & its neighboring primary color is a:
Tertiary color.
Equal proportions of primary colors will produce:
Black.
A secondary color is obtained by mixing equal parts of two:
Primary colors.
A primary & secondary color positioned opposite each other on the color wheel are:
Complementary colors.
Complementary colors are used in color formulation to:
Neutralize each other.
The process of diffusing natural color pigment or artificial color from the hair is:
Hair lightening.
All permanent hair color products & lighteners contain an oxidizing agent & a(n):
Alkalizing ingredient.
A hair-lightening process occurs when the alkaline peroxide:
Breaks up the melanin.
Temporary color pigment molecules do not penetrate because they are:
Large.
Semipermanent hair color on average should last:
4 to 6 weeks.
Haircoloring that penetrates the hair shaft & is formulated to deposit but not lift color is:
Demipermanent hair color.
Demipermanent hair color is available in a variety of formulas including:
Creams, gels, & liquid.
Uncolored dye precursors that can be diffused into the hair shaft are used in:
Permanent hair color formulas.
Dye precursors that combine with hydrogen peroxide to form larger tint molecules are:
Aniline derivatives.
Although many semipermanent & demipermanent colors use alkalizing agents other than ammonia, they are not necessarily any less:
Damaging.
Permanent haircoloring products are mixed with:
Hydrogen peroxide.
Permanent hair color products used for gray hair remove natural pigment &:
Add artificial color.
To provide maximum lift in a one-process color service, most high-lift colors require:
40 volume peroxide.
Haircoloring products that change hair color by creating a progressive buildup contain:
Metallic colors.
The most common developer used in haircoloring is:
Hydrogen peroxide.
Lighteners are chemical compounds that lighten natural hair pigment by dispersing, dissolving, &:
Decolorizing.
When hydrogen peroxide is mixed with a lightener formula, it releases:
Oxygen.
During the decolorization process, natural hair can go through as many as:
10 stages.
Toners are used to achieve pale, delicate colors & are applied to create the correct degree of:
Contributing pigment.
The test required by the U.S. Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act to determine client allergies or sensitivities is the:
Predisposition test.
To determine how hair will react to a selected color formula, perform a(n):
Preliminary strand test.
When selecting a semipermanent color, remember that color applied on top of color creates:
A darker color.
Permanent hair color applications are classified as double-process or:
Single-process.
The application process that is used for first-time color application is:
Virgin application.
Overlapping color can cause breakage & create a sign of roots or:
Line of demarcation.
Double-process lightening is prelightening hair to a very blonde stage & applying a:
Toner.
For a single-process color for virgin hair, the color processes fastest at:
The scalp.
Cream lighteners are formulated to be used:
On the scalp.
The three forms of hair lighteners are:
Oil, powder, & cream.
An oxidizer added to hydrogen peroxide to increase its lifting power action is a(n):
Activator.
A technique of coloring strands of hair darker than the natural color is:
Lowlighting.
A foil technique where a straight & narrow section of hair at the scalp is positioned for color or lighener application is:
Slicing.
In the foil technique when selected strands are picked up from a narrow section of hair with a zigzag motion of the comb, & lightener is applied in:
Weaving.
When coloring for a client with 80 to 100 percent gray, the color levels that provide the best coverage are:
Level 7 & darker.
To cover unpigmented hair in a salt-&-pepper client, the color formulation should be:
Two levels lighter than the natural level.
Pretreating gray or very resistant hair to allow for better penetration is:
Presoftening.
Preparations designed to equal porosity & deposit a base color in one application are:
Fillers.
To increase the longevity of a professional color service & preserve the health of clients' hair, the stylist should encourage them to use only:
Professional products.
