Ch. 19 Part 2 Hair Lightening Techniques

Hair lighteners typically come in the form of oils, creams, and powders that are used to lighten the color of the hair. While the incorrect options may be hair products, they are not specifically designed for lightening the hair.

Slicing involves taking a horizontal section of hair and slicing out a thin piece to be colored, while weaving involves taking a section of hair and weaving out small sections to be colored.

Fillers are products used in hair coloring to even out the porosity of the hair and help the color adhere better. Primers, sealers, and stabilizers do not serve the same purpose as fillers in this context.

The cap technique is a commonly used method for adding highlights or color streaks to hair by pulling strands through a perforated cap using a hook tool.

A glaze is a semi-permanent color treatment that adds shine and enhances the tone of the hair without using ammonia. It is a popular choice for refreshing the hair color without making a drastic change.

Lighteners that can be applied directly on the scalp are known as 'on scalp lighteners' to differentiate them from other types of lighteners.

In hair color terminology, a filler is used to even out porosity or achieve color correction before applying the final color. Toner is used to adjust the tone of the hair, bleach is used to lighten hair, and developer is used to activate hair color.

Highlighting shampoo is a product that combines permanent hair color, hydrogen peroxide, and shampoo to achieve highlighted hair tones. The other options listed do not involve the same combination of ingredients for hair coloring purposes.

An activator is added to hydrogen peroxide to increase its chemical reaction or lifting power by enhancing the reaction rate. A catalyst speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process. An inhibitor decreases the rate of a chemical reaction. An oxidizer is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances.

Balayage is a technique where hair color is painted onto the hair to create a graduated, natural-looking effect. Ombre is a style where hair color transitions from dark to light. Foiling involves sectioning off hair and coloring specific strands. Highlighting is a technique where lighter strands are added to the hair for dimension.

Toners are hair products primarily used on pre-lightened hair to neutralize unwanted tones and achieve pale delicate colors. Conditioners, hair masks, and root touch-up kits do not serve the same purpose as toners in achieving specific hair color results.

The correct term for this hair styling technique is weaving, not braiding, twisting, or teasing.

In the context of hair coloring, powder lighteners are typically used for off-scalp applications due to their strength and potential to cause irritation on the scalp. Cream, oil, and liquid lighteners are more commonly used for on-scalp applications as they are gentler.

It is important to always follow the manufacturer's directions when applying hair color products to ensure the best results and avoid any potential risks or complications.

A soap cap is a gentler way to refresh color or remove unwanted tones without damaging the hair, making it different from the other options provided.

When hair goes through 10 stages of discoloration, the color left is known as its foundation. The foundation color is the result of the lightening and toning process.

Pre softening is the process of treating gray hair or very resistant hair to allow for better penetration by opening the cuticle, while tinting involves changing the hair color, highlighting adds lighter shades to specific sections, and perming involves creating curls or waves in the hair.

Highlighting is the process of coloring some hair strands lighter than the natural color to create dimension and depth in the hair. Streaking involves adding contrasting color streaks to the hair, ombre is a gradual blending of one color to another typically at the ends of the hair, and balayage is a hair coloring technique where the color is applied by hand in a sweeping motion for a natural-looking effect.

Porous hair allows the bleaching agent to penetrate the cortex more easily, resulting in faster lightening compared to nonporous hair.

The correct formulation for gray hair that is 30-50% gray is to use 2 parts lighter shade and 1 part desired shade. This ratio helps achieve the desired color while effectively covering the gray strands.

Semipermanent formulation for gray hair that is 90-100% gray typically involves achieving the desired level of color without lifting the natural hair color too much. Demipermanent color and demi-demi color are not typically used for covering gray hair that is 90-100% gray.

Overlapping can cause damage to the hair and create a visible line of demarcation. The other incorrect answers can also contribute to hair damage but are not specifically related to the issues mentioned in the question.

Applying tint on any of these conditions can cause irritation or adverse reactions.

Using a deposit only hair color product helps maintain the vibrancy of the red tones without causing unnecessary damage by lightening or altering the existing pigment.

Color and Tint removers are products specifically designed to eliminate artificial pigment from the hair, making them the correct answers. The incorrect options do not accurately describe the purpose of such products in the context of hair care.

The correct first step when color services do not turn out as planned is to remain calm and not panic. This will help in finding a suitable solution without exacerbating the situation.

A mixture of shampoo and hydrogen peroxide results in a highlighting shampoo due to the lightening properties of hydrogen peroxide.

Reverse highlighting or low lighting involves dyeing strands of hair darker than the natural hair color to create depth and dimension in the hair. Highlights, balayage, and ombre are techniques where strands of hair are lightened rather than darkened.
