How To Mix Hair Color.

Hey, what's up everybody welcome back to our Channel today I want to be discussing mixing ratios with color. I'Ve been getting a lot of messages from viewers and blog readers, and even customers about how to apply their color, how to mix their color alright. So every color line is going to be a little different, so on the box or on the little pamphlet you get with the color you're gon na see either a one to one or one to one and a half or one to two now. But that means is the first number. The one is how much color one part color to one part developer developer is the peroxide that you mix with the color, but that does is it allows your cuticle layer of the hair to open up, along with the ammonia in the color and to drive the Color into the cortex of the hair, but that's a little too scientific for you, so don't worry about that. So what you do need to worry about, though, is the proper mixing ratio and a lot of you stylists out there who are watching mix to consistency or mix to just mix with your eye. That'S not a consistent way to mix your color. Every company has scientists behind the brand who formulate the exact mixing ratio for the color and that's for your client safety and for your own safety. So if you have a mixing ratio of one to one and a half and you mix it equal parts, which is one to one, you can possibly burn your scalp and you won't get the full coverage or full penetration of the color. So the best way to do is with a food scale, so you're gon na weigh one ounce of color to one ounce of developer or peroxide. That'S equal parts, that's one to one! Now. If you have one to one and a half, it's one part color 1.5 parts developer. So what that means is to make numbers easy is if you're mixing 50 grams of color you're gon na make 75 grams of developer or, if you're gon na use, Alyce's you're gon na use one ounce of color and 1.5 ounces of developer. Now we have a 1 to 2 mixing ratio, like some of your demi-permanent have you're gon na do one ounce of color and two ounces of developer. I, like the mixing grams personally, it's a little easier for me to do the calculation and they get a little more creative with color. So you can do you know five grams of a5n with 10 grams of 5, 3, 2 and then 5 grams of a booster and then you're gon na have whatever that number is so that's 25, 10 to 35, 5, definitely 40 grams of color and then you're Gon na use 60 grams of developer, if it's one to one and a half, so a good little trick, you can do when you're using a when you're using a food scale, is there's a tare button on the scale. So what that tare button does is allows you to reset back to zero again with the existing weight in the bowl. So when you put your color in, let's say you have, you know 1.25 ounces right instead of you trying to figure out what that is, you just hit tare and that resets to zero again and then you put in 1.25 of developer, and now you have equal Parts, but you have to really kind of figure out the math of what you're weighing because it does make a difference in how your color comes out. So it's very very important if you're watching this video and you're doing your color at home to pay attention to what brand you're using and what their mixing ratio is. So I hope it ain't confuse you with those numbers, but just know pay attention to what the mixing ratio is one to one one to one and a half or one to two, some Demi permit, or even one two three, it's very very important that you mix It the same every time you do your color, because it gives you a consistency. Every time you apply it any questions or comments. Please feel free to leave in a comment box below click.
