hi, i'm amelia and on behalf of expert village,i'll be talking to you about understanding the laws of hair color. this is a pocket colorwheel that you can get at any art supply store. you're probably wondering what i'm doing withit? well actually this is very important. because without this, you really can't countactthe different colors that are going on in your hair. so what does that mean? at everylevel, there is something called an undertone
hair color changer online for free, in your hair. in other words at every level,if i was to put bleach straight on that hair, and lift it to your level, what would be thecolor that would be remaining in the hair? so if i took the outside color off, what wouldbe the inside color, in a manner of speaking? well at a level six the inside color wouldbe orange. and let's be honest, nobody really
wants orange hair. so what would you do ifyou had orange hair? well, you would put blue color on it. and what would that do? thatwould make it a nice neutral brown. so these are the things you have to take into considerationwhen performing color on yourself at home. i've seen a lot of women come in to the salon,and they've got the dark roots, and they've got the really brassie ends. and what i meanby brassie, is that nice orange color that's a level six. and they're wanting to know whyit's like that, and i'm having to explain to the that when they put the color on theirhair, five weeks ago, they probably didn't use a good product, or a good shampoo, andthe color has faded off. and what's left is the undertone. what's left is the underlyingcolor. what's left is what's showing, what's
underneath the hair, what's underneath thecolor. so, when i have to apply a corrective base, i choose a color that has a blue base.so, for example, in this range, i would choose something more in this, oh, that's red violet,in this ash blue over here. so i would have to apply like a level six ab, and that wouldcounteract and make her a nice neutral 6n. so whenever you're applying color, and you'rewanting to make sure that you're not going to be brassie, that you're not going to pullwarm, you have to take into consideration your level, the lightness and darkness ofyour hair, and the tone of your hair. so if you're warm, in other words if you have alot of red in your hair, if you grandmother was a red head, you're not going to want toput red on your hair. you're going to want
to choose maybe an ash base. and that ashbase will then counteract that warmth in your hair, and make a nice neutral color. so, wheneverchoosing a color, always take into consideration the underlying tones in your hair. are youwarm, or are you cool? and if you're warm and you want to stay warm, apply a warm color.if you're warm and you want to be neutral or cool, you apply a cool color. so wheneveryou're thinking about the color wheel, or
whenever you're thinking about color, rememberthe color wheel. whatever color is across from the color you want to be, that's thecolor that's going to neutralize it. so this yellow orange, blue violet is going to neutralizeit and make a nice brown base. so you might want to pick one of these up if you're goingto be doing a lot of home color.
