#Hair color converter professional
She was the MOST professional stylist at Bubbles in my opinion and her clients looked very highly upon her. She was also the ONLY one that kept perfect records of her clients visits(some people make an effort to write everything down, but we all know that some stuff slips through the cracks when it’s busy). She was the ONLY one that religiously used a scale when she was mixing hair color. I started regularly using a scale to measure my color when I noticed someone at my salon doing it. Some people just don’t feel like it, and some don’t understand the importance of properly measuring your color formula components. I’ve noticed that many hairstylists do not use a scale for measuring. It’s possible to seal it with duct tape, but that’s not going to hold next time you need to use that color. Oxygen can now enter the tube even when the cap is screwed on. You’ll have to use that tube immediately because it cannot be properly sealed. Your formula will not be accurate, especially if you’re not using a scale.Ģ. If not…pressure could build up in the color tube forcing color to squirt out of the end.ġ. *Be careful not to push the color key too far onto the end of the tube and/or to twist it evenly. The color key ensures that you’re squeezing out every ounce of color! Using a color key is the only way to go! You won’t waste any color and if you don’t use a scale your mixture will be far more accurate. Not only that, but if you’re going by the measurements on the color tube rather than using a scale…your formula will not be accurate. To be honest…tube squeezers annoy the shit out of me! Even if you’re very careful…you will waste color this way. Those that don’t use either(a huge pet peeve of mine).They aren’t as sturdy, but they will last!Ī post shared by Confessions of a Cosmetologist on at 5:23pm PST It’s hard to get all of the nooks and crannies, FYI. Dry them thoroughly immediately after washing.You don’t want rust in your hair color, so you have two options: That’s probably because I just laid them down on a towel to dry. Almost every mini whisk I’ve owned has rusted a little. If your budget is tight, then I suggest purchasing 3-5 mini whisks and rinsing them immediately after each use. I LOVE using plastic utensils because I just toss them and get to work. You should be using mini whisks, or for you lazy lovelies out there…you can use plastic forks.
The color or powder lightener will clump in the brush…making it even more difficult to get a smooth consistency. Some of you probably think it’s easier because there are less things to wash when you’re done. Mixing hair color with a brush is harder. Don’t be lazy- color brushes are not for mixing! It takes a little longer, but it is so worth it!ģ. This will prevent clumps from forming…and we all know those pesky clumps are impossible to whip out once you’ve added all of the developer.įor a perfectly smooth hair color mixture you should mix in about ¼ of the developer at a time. That doesn’t mean you can’t…I just don’t do it and I don’t suggest it.Īdd a little at a time as you mix. That’s what I was taught at PMTS (Paul Mitchell The School). I’ve NEVER mixed lightening powder with clear developer.
Two things about choosing cream developer vs. When I was a newbie…clear developer was frustrating because no one told me what I’m about to tell you in point #2! It was messy and my mixture was always chunky. At the time, I preferred cream developer because it was easier to mix. I learned with both because Paul Mitchell offers all levels in both types…where some brands mostly offer cream developer. Use cream developer for faster mixing.Ĭlear or cream developer? It’s a matter of preference, but sometimes a matter of what’s available or what is offered by the brand you use. A post shared by Confessions of a Cosmetologist on at 11:36am PSTġ.
