So…. before the keyboard warriers attack me ! I wanted to show and explain a little about this myth. Now if you were to dunk your clients vivid (direct dye) hair into boiling water then 100% yes you will see that the colour fades very fast! but hopefully you don’t do that (or you will have a court case on your hands!).

Washing your colour off in warm water does not make your colour fade and run out of the hair quicker. What is happening is that the molecules in the water ( Molecular activity) are working and racing around that water faster causing us to visually see the colour being lost at a faster rate than it does in cold water, but in actual fact it is the same.

Think about when you put some solid butter in a pan…. what happens when it starts to melt? it looks like there is more right? but it is the same amount weight wise that you put in the pan at the beginning.

It is an illusion.

Here is a sample from my workbook. Let’s have a look at Alkalinity in a permanent tube of colour. The image above helps you to visualise the approximate available percentage of “lift and deposit that you would get from each level of colour. The white section shows the approximate “lift” you would get and the brown shows the amount of deposit you would get .

For instance: Lets take level 8 tube of colour you are going to achieve 20% more available alkalinity than if you were to choose a level 6. This paired with the correct developer will aid when making choices for your desired outcome.

you have options when choosing what method to lighten the hair.. Do you choose Alkalinity or volume for lift? which method will give you a better result. one will give you a brighter end result and one may give you a more natural result…..
