Hair Coloring and Hair Lightening

An atom or a group of atoms carrying an electric charge

The science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of matter

Created by mixing a primary and a secondary color that are located opposite of each other on the color wheel

Stable mixtures of two or more substances, which may be solid, liquid or gas or a combination

The degree of lightness of a color

The coloring matter that provides us with the natural color of our hair and skin

A system used to determine lightness or darkness of a color

The balance of color

Particles in an atom that have a positive charge

Are a chemical combination of two or more atoms from different elements

The technique that allows for better haircolor penetration by softening the cuticle.

Particles in an atom that have a neutral charge

Ranges from o to 6.9  on the pH scale

Produces brown to black pigment in the hair

A support tool for the Law Of Color to visually show how all colors are related

The strength of the color's appearance

Determines if the haircolor is absorbing and processing evenly

The medical term for grey hair; the result of gradual decline in melanin

A gas with a strong odor, made up of nitrogen and hydrogen

Created by mixing two primary colors in equal proportions

A system that provides an understanding of color relationship

Substance that has mass and occupies space; occurs in the form or a solid liquid or gas

The innermost layer of hair comprised of round cells

The simplest form of matter. It cannot be broken down into a simpler substance

The smallest chemical part of an element

The suspension of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix

The middle layer of hair, made of elongated cells containing melanin and keratin

The study of not living or never living organisms that do not contain carbon

A mixture in which small particles of a substance are dispensed throughout a gas or liquid

A substance that is capable of dissolving another substance

Particles of an atom that have a negative charge

Temporary colors; no chemical mixing or reaction takes place to produce these colors on the hair

Two or more atoms chemically joined, and retain their chemical and physical properties to form matter

A substance used in, or produced by, the process of chemistry

Have definite chemical and physical properties

The chemical reaction that occurs when oxygen is released from a substance

Used to neutralize acids or raise the pH

The warm or cool tone seen within the predominant haircolor

The rapid oxidation of a substance, accompanied by the production of heat and light

  The technique of removing natural hair color or artificial haircolor from the hair

The study of living or previously living organisms containing carbon

Ranges from 7.1 to 14 on the pH scale

Applying a small amount of product on the skin for sensitivity or allergy

Produces Yellow to red pigments in the hair

Creates a chemical change in the hair therefore providing longer lasting haircolor results

Oxidizing agent added to haircolor or lightener that assists in the development process

The three basic colors; red, yellow, blue-from which all colors are produced

Created by mixing a primary color with a neighboring secondary color
