Wella colouring techniques

jrobinson

Hi
I thought I would share some different colouring methods and techniques in the hope you can all share some with me!!
il add to this in a short while, I have quite a few to put in!

Focal point

This gives a contrasting colour effect on the top, and is good for a bob
1. take 2 diagonal partings from the crown to the recession area, creating your triangular section.
2. Colour the rest of the hair with mix 1.
3. Use back to back slices, alternating with mix 1 and mix 2 horizontally along the triangle, as the diagram shows.

Alternative T section

This is good for long layers, or one length hair.
1. Take a triangle from the crown to the front recession areas.
2. sub divide the triangle from the centre of one of the side to the centre of the front hair line. this gives you two sections.
3. work diagonally on section 1 (smaller section) with large weaves.
4. Work on a slight diagonal on section 2 (bigger section) with large weaves, or fine weaves deending on the effect you want.

Halo3

Following the circle pattern in the diagram attched below, use 3 different colours in each section, the example is A: 5.0 6% B: 6/7 6% C: 8/7 9%
This will give a darker to lighter appearance, for lighter to darker swop the colours.

Tales of Folk

Section a rectangle from below the crown to the front hairline/temples as shown in the diagram. Then seperate the rectangle into triangles using a zigzag line as shown.
For each bold section on the edge of the triangles, use Formula E. Then use Formula D and C on alternate triangle.
For the rest of the head section from the end of the rectangle at the crown as shown in the diagram and use formulas A and B.
Formula A: 5/37+6/73 6%
Formula B: 2parts 7/3 + 1part 7/7 9%
Formula C: 7/73 6%
Formula D: 5/73 6%
Formula E: 15ml 12/0+1ml 0/45 9%

Stars

For short to medium hair. Create a Star in the centre of the head and apply Formula A. Apply formula B to the rest of the hair.

Internal Illusions

Create a section 2inches wide from the occipital bone going upwards towards the temple on each side as shown in the diagram. Do Slices along the section only leaving a very slight piece in between each. Use blondor 9% for the slices. Once developed rinse and tone using 30ml 10/0+0/45+0/65 Pastel developer
