How to counteract Underlying tones in Hair
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
This is a chart that I found on a internet site a long time ago that has helped me many times when my brain wouldn't kick in on it's own.
The first column you have the Natural tones in hair, Levels 1 being the darkest to Level 10 being the lightest.
The second column is the underlying tones that are the makeup of the hair. These tones are the ones that any lightening system has to get thru to get to the desired level when highlighting or tinting the hair.
The third column is the parts per pigment in the hair.
The fourth column are the tones that are what you are actually seeing.
And the fifth column are the counter tones. These are the tones that you would use to correct the unwanted colors in hair.
