PLEASE READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN LEVEL 1.
LEVEL 1 IS THE HARDEST LEVELS TO COMPLETE CORRECTLY.
IT IS NOT JUST A CASE OF MIX THE SUPPLIED FORMULAS. APPLY AND WAIT FOR THE FULL
DEVELOPMENT TIME AND THE PERFECT LEVEL IS ACHEIVED.
40 MINUTES IS THE LIMIT TO WHICH THE BLEACH IS ACTIVE
LEAVING IT ON THE HAIR AFTER 40 MINUTES
NO FURTHER LIFT WILL OCCUR.
LIFT A NATURAL BASE SHADE ONE OR EVEN TWO LEVELS WILL NOT TAKE 40 MINUTES
THIS IS THE SKILL YOU ARE TRYING TO LEARN; WATCH THE PIGMENTS REMOVE
UNTIL YOU REACH THE ONE OR TWO SHADES LIFT YOU DESIRE.
MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS MAY BE RECOMMENDED i.e.
LIFT NATURAL BASE SHADE 2 TO A BASE SHADE 10
SIX APPLICATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED. HOWEVER, THE FIRST FIVE APPLICATIONS
WILL RUN THE FULL 40 MINUTES AND THE SIXTH APPLICATION
WILL BE WASHED OFF AS SOON AS THE LEVEL 10 IS ACHEIVED.
LEVEL1 IS ABOUT DEVELOPING YOUR COLOURIST EYE
A TIP TO HELP WITH THIS IS TO COLOUR MATCH AGAINST THE TESTING STRIPS
AS A GUIDE TO WHEN THE PERFECT SHADE HAS BEEN REACHED.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AND LOOK FOR WHEN BLEACHING?
THE HUMAN EYE SEE'S COLOUR WHEN WHITE LIGHT IS ABSORBED BY AN OBJECT
AND WAVES CORRESPONDING WITH PIGMENTS ARE THEN REFLECTED.
EUMELANIN PIGMENTS (DARK BLUE THROUGH TO GREEN)
ARE REMOVED ALMOST IMMEADIATELY LEAVING THE HAIR REFLECTING ORANGE
FROM THE REMAINING PHEOMELANIN PIGMENTS (RED AND YELLOW).
ONCE ALL THE PHEOMELANIN PIGMENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED THE HAIR REFLECTS WHITE.
THE TRICK IS TO RETAIN AS MANY DARK BLUE THROUGH TO GREEN PIGMENTS
TO ACHEIVE JUST ONE SHADE LIFT
OR REMOVE ALL DARK BLUE THROUGH TO GREEN PIGMENTS PLUS AS MANY
RED TAND YELLOW PIGMENTS AS NEEDED TO GET EIGHT SHADES LIFT.
TO ACHEIVE ALL OF THE ABOVE YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DO ONE TESTING STRIP
AT A TIME, WAIT AND WATCH UNTIL YOU ACHEIVE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF LIFT
BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT TESTING STRIP.
DO NOT TRY TO DO MORE THAN ONE TESTING STRIP.
THE THREE TINTING POTS AND THREE HOOKS ON YHE TESTING STAND
ARE FOR LEVELS 2 TO 10 ONLY.
THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TESTING STRIPS RECOMMENDED
TO BE COMPLETE IN A TWO HOUR SESSION IS FIVE TESTING STRIPS.
