Haircolor & Porosity

One of the most important things to take into consideration when formulating for color is the porosity of the clients hair.
In color theory you learned that porous hair will process faster, but it will also absorb ash. Keep in mind not to use ash base colors on hair that is porous. I always see this mistake being made at the shampoo bowl during the toner process. If the hair is porous from the lightener, the last thing you want to tone with is violet (ash base) toners.
Porous hair will also reject warmth. If your client has porous hair and wishes to be a warm brunette, she may have to commit to a color freshening service every couple of weeks due to the fading that will happen on her porous hair.
Why is your clients hair porous? It could be from the home maintenance of the hair. The usage of irons and dryers. In this case, this is a perfect retail opportunity for you. Retail your client a ceramic iron and dryer and explain to her the benefits of using them.
Another reason your clients hair may be porous is from using permanent color on the ends of her hair. Keep in mind that permanent color has alkaline in it. The higher the level, the more alkaline thats in the tube. Alkaline will create porosity.
When doing a color re-touch it's best to use permanent color at the base and demi permanent color on the mid-strand and ends. So yes, you will be using two different bowls of color, one for the permanent and one for the demi. This is good practice as you always want to keep the integrity of your clients hair in tip-top condition by avoiding the creation of porosity.Facebook page.
