THE 4 BASIC RULES
RULE 1
Identify the tone height of the natural color.
- Having a wrong reference point or "by eye" risks giving unwanted results (too dark or too light)
RULE 2
Determine the tone height of the color you want to obtain
- essential for choosing the most appropriate nuance and matching the correct activator.
RULE 3
Establish the desired reflection and the lightening background
- it is necessary to know the lightening primer to be able to contrast it, otherwise you will get unwanted color effects.
RULE 4
Determine the volumes of the Activator
- choosing the wrong volume can affect the color result in terms of brilliance, lightening and coverage of gray hair.
