MILADY CHAPTER 21
HAIRCOLOURING
• Activators ANSWER Powdered persulfate salts added to
haircolor to increase its lightening ability. Also known as
Boosters, Protinators, and Accelerators.
• Aniline Derivatives ANSWER Contain small, uncolored
dyes that combine with hydrogen peroxide to form larger,
permanent dye molecules within the cortex.
• Baliage ANSWER Painting a lightener (usually a powdered
off-the-scalp lightener) directly onto cleaned, styled hair. Also
known as Free-form Technique.
• Base Color ANSWER Predominant tone of a color.
,• Cap Technique ANSWER Lightening technique that
involves pulling clean, dry strands of hair through a perforated
cap with a thin plastic or metal hook, and then combining
them to remove tangles.
• Color Fillers ANSWER Equalize porosity and deposit color
in one application to provide a uniform contributing pigment
on prelightened hair.
• Complementary Colors ANSWER A primary and
secondary color positioned directly op- posite each other on
the color wheel.
• Conditioner Fillers ANSWER Used to recondition
damaged, overly porous hair and equal- ize porosity do that
the hair accepts the color evenly from strand to strand and
scalp to ends.
• Contributing Pigment ANSWER The varying degrees of
warmth exposed during a perma- nent color or lightening
process. Also known as Undertone.
, • Demipermanent Haircolor ANSWER Formulated to
deposit, but not lift (lighten) natural hair color. Also known as
No-lift Deposit-only Color.
• Developers ANSWER When mixed with an oxidation
haircolor, supplies the necessary oxygen gas to develop color
molecules and create a change in hair color. Also known as
Oxidizing Agents or Catalysts.
• Double-process Application ANSWER A coloring
technique requiring two separate pro- cedures in which the
hair is prelightened before the depositing color is applied to
the hair. Also known as Two-step Coloring.
• Fillers ANSWER Used to equalize porosity.
• Foil Technique ANSWER Highlighting technique that
involves coloring selected strands of hair by slicing or weaving
out sections, placing them on foil or plastic wrap, applying a
lightener or permanent haircolor, and then sealing them in the
foil or plastic wrap.
