What is the main use for the colour wheel in hairdressing?
Neutralising colour tone
The main reason for using the colour wheel in hairdressing is to identify tones which neutralise (cancel) each other. This is used when highlighting, and also in the colour correction process.
we can also use it to identify colours which COMPLIMENT each other.
What do we do if its the colour we are trying to neutralise isn't one colour?????
In your groups, add the tertiary colours to
the colour wheel

When neutralising tone, what factors do we need to take in to account?
Toning hair
1) Target shade
2) Hairs porosity levels
3) which tone to use to neutralise
4) the depth the hair has lifted to
Why do you think the depth it has lifted to is important?
Slide heading
Slide text
The lower the depth, the more tone is needed to create the colour, meaning if we tone with a colour not on the right depth, we could over tone or undertone. Toning with a level 8 colour on a level 10 head will drop the depth, but also add additional tone, causing over toning. Whereas, toning with a level 10 on a level 8 head will not have enough pigment to neutralise the colour fully
Eumelanin
Eumelanin is cool toned, and is made up of predominantly blue and green tones. Eumelanin is responsible for black and brown hair. Eumelanin are large molecules and are the first to be broken down during the lightening process
Pheomelanin
Pheomelanin is warmer toned, and are predominantly yellow, orange and red tones.
These are smaller molecules than eumelanin, meaning they are the hardest to remove.
Yellow is the smallest, and is the last tone to be removed from hair.
