Today's Session 

Do Now Task- Retrieval Task  – Complete the colouring effects recap task - NO NOTES- White boards at the Ready! 

Review & Set Focus – Reflect on tutor feedback and identify a learning target for today.

Recall & Apply Knowledge – Recall the different types of melanin in the hair, Why tint doesn't lift tint, Emulsify, direct and in- direct dyes 

Understand Product Effects – Recognise how different hydrogen peroxides impact the hair structure and the role of pH in colouring.

Solve Colouring Issues – Recall common colouring problems, their causes, and solutions.

Master Colour Theory – Explain underlying tones and apply the colour wheel principles.

Reflect & Set Goals – List 2–3 improvements from today and set one goal to enhance your Wella theory knowledge.

Describe the difference between Eumelanin and Pheomelanin

Explain why ' Tint doesn't lift Tint'

Explain the term 'Emulsify'

Emulsify 

Is the process of adding water and massaging the colour out of the hair before rinsing. This helps break down the colour molecules and ensures even removal.

List the different types of colouring products available

Explain the difference between Direct and In-Direct dyes

Types of Colouring Products 

Temporary 

Semi- Permanent 

Quasi/Demi

Permanent

Lightener 

Direct Dyes 

In direct Dyes 

Explain the effects Temporary colour has on the hair structure

Explain the effects Semi- permanent colour has on the hair structure

Explain the effects Quasi/ Demi colour has on the hair structure

Explain the effects Permanent colour has on the hair structure

Recall Wella Koleston developers and their uses

Hydrogen Peroxide 

Also know and written as H202.

This is a colourless liquid made from...

Water

Oxygen

Colour Touch Developers 

Koleston Perfect Developers

Choosing most suitable Peroxide 

Stronger peroxide does not mean a better blonde result. The aim is controlled, even lift while protecting the condition of the hair.

When using lightener, the approach is “slow and low.” This means choosing a lower strength developer, such as 1.9% or 4%, and allowing it to process for longer.

This helps you:

Lift the hair more evenly

Reduce damage

Maintain better hair health

Stay in control of the lightening process

Remember: it’s not about lifting as fast as possible — it’s about lifting safely and professionally.

Grey Coverage 

Colouring Grey Hair 

the addition of a pure Naturals shade is required to give sufficient coverage.

Task:

Write a mixing Ratio using 5/0 and 5/5 to achieve both 30-50% coverage and 50-100% coverage.

What is the Ph of hair and skin

1. 4-6.5
2. 4.5.5.5
3. 5-5.5
4. 7

Recall what ICC stands for.

List some different colour problems that could occur

Can you list the different contra- indications that need to be considered for colouring hair

Which type of hair pigment is responsible for lighter hair?

1. Eumelanin
2. Melanin
3. Pheomelanin
4. Blond melanin

Which type of color lasts 6-8 shampoos?

1. Semi-permanent color
2. Permanent color
3. Toners
4. Quasi-permanent color

Which type of hair colour contains small and medium-sized colour molecules?

1. Temporary colour
2. Semi-permanent colour
3. Permanent colour
4. Quasi-permanent colour

Which type of hair colour contains large colour molecules that sit on the outside of the cuticle?

1. Quasi-permanent colour
2. Temporary colour
3. Permanent colour
4. Semi-permanent colour

Which type of melanin is predominant in dark hair?

1. Pheomelanin
2. Red melanin
3. Eumelanin
4. Blue melanin

Undertones

This is because the pheomelanin pigments are smaller and harder to remove. You need to understand what the natural shade has underneath to make it that depth.

When you are removing colour you will be lifting colour – both natural and artificial – out of the hair.

Reflect, Summarise, and Share

Step 1 – Review and Recall (3 minutes)

Write down 5 key facts, that you have learned in today’s lesson. 

Step 2- Write a short summary using the key facts you recalled in step 1.

Step 3 – Peer Share and Clarify (5 minutes)n  in pairs or small groups, read through each other’s summaries and discuss any differences. 

Step 4- Reflective Sentence Starters (2 minutes)"Today, I learned that…"

"A key point I need to remember is…"

"One question I still have is…"

Remember to use your learning review book to record new key terms you have learnt in todays session.
