REDKEN TECHNICAL HANDBOOK 2013 GET INSPIRED. BE PART OF IT. WWW.REDKEN.CO.UK INTRODUCTION TECHNICAL INFORMATION PRE-SERVICE BEST PRACTICES BEFORE YOU BEGIN ANY CHEMICAL SERVICE... • Wear suitable disposable gloves during the preparation, application and rinsing of the product Haircolor may be readily accepted by porous hair that has been chemically treated or damaged from environmental exposure or heat styling. Always conduct a preliminary strand test to determine how the hair will accept color. Apply the formula to a small section of hair and process according to instructions; adjust the formula accordingly. • emove earrings. Behind the ear and using a cottonR bud apply a little of the unmixed colorant product sufficient to cover an area of 1 to 2 cm2 (e.g. the size of a small coin). Re-apply allowing it to dry between applications. Carefully reseal the colorant container. • Leave for 48 hours without washing, covering or touching. If during this period you or your client notice any abnormal reactions, such as itching, redness or swelling in or around the test area, DO NOT APPLY THE PRODUCT. ALLERGY ALERT TEST PERFORM AN ALLERGY ALERT TEST 48 HOURS BEFORE EACH USE OF HAIRCOLOR, AS ALLERGIES CAN DEVELOP SUDDENLY, EVEN THOUGH YOUR CLIENT HAS PREVIOUSLY USED A HAIRCOLOR FROM THIS BRAND OR ANOTHER. If your client has a tattoo, the risk of an allergic reaction may be increased. INTRODUCTION STRAND TEST HOW TO PERFORM THE ALLERGY ALERT TEST TECHNICAL INFORMATION COLOR WHEEL & WORKING WITH UNDERTONES YELLOW ORANGE GREEN WORKING WITH UNDERTONES Undertones are the unrefined warm tones exposed during the lifting process. Always consider the exposed undertones visible at the target level. To counteract undertones, use the Color Wheel to select a shade level with tonal value opposite to the undertone exposed at the target level. Remember, opposites neutralize. To enhance undertones, select a shade with a tonal value similar to the undertone exposed at the target level. RED BLUE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND COLOR AND TONE VIOLET Background is the portion of the color base that helps produce balanced, natural-looking results and gives the shade its foundation. Tone is the portion of the base that gives a shade its unique character. FORMULATION GUIDELINES 1. Determine your client’s natural haircolor level. Remember to consider percentage of gray, hair texture, condition and hair density. 2. Determine the target color (final level and tone) desired by your client. 3. Determine the undertone found at the target level (refer to Level System). This step does not apply to Shades EQ Gloss and Shades EQ Cream. 4. Select the shade to enhance, balance or counteract undertones and achieve the target color. 0 NATURAL 1 BLUE/ASH 2 VIOLET 3 GOLD 4 COPPER 5 MAHOGANY/RED VIOLET 6 RED 7 GREEN APPLICATION UNDERSTANDING ZONES Redken uses the term “Zones” to refer to specific areas of the hair strand. The hair is divided into 3 Zones. Each Zone will accept color differently based on the condition of the hair. Understanding Zones will help you achieve even color results, whether you are performing a retouch, virgin application or changing a client’s formula. BEST PRACTICES 1. Pre-treat the hair with Hair Cleansing Cream. Follow with Extreme CAT or Redken Chemistry as needed. Dry hair. 2. Apply color generously using fine ¼ inch diagonal partings. 3. Use the opposite diagonal to crosscheck and ensure proper application. 4. Use a timer for accurate timing. Do not over- or under-process. Zone 1 When lifting or lightening natural hair, the scalp area will always be warmer/brighter; and the midshaft and ends will appear darker and drabber. To ensure even color from scalp to ends, create formulas with the appropriate family shades. ON-SCALP APPLICATION 1. Start with dry hair. Divide into 4 sections. 2. Use a bowl and brush or bottle. Apply color taking ¼ inch partings for even saturation. 3. Process as directed (refer to Mixing and Processing charts). 4. Rinse, shampoo with Color Extend. Condition with Color Extend. Zone 3 VIRGIN HAIR According to the Principles of Haircolor, color lifts lighter and brighter in Zone 1. To compensate, two alternatives are possible when applying color to virgin hair: The TRADITIONAL VIRGIN application consists of adjusting the formula with a higher volume developer in Zone 2, starting the application in Zone 2 and finishing with Zone 1. Zone 1 is the regrowth or root area, which is closest to the scalp and less than 3 months old. When lifting or lightening, Zone 1 is approximately the first ½ inch of hair. When coloring level-onlevel or deepening haircolor, Zone 1 can be up to 1 ½ inches. Zone 2 is the mid-shaft area of the hair strand and begins where Zone 1 ends. In healthy hair, Zone 2 can extend all the way through the ends of the hair strand, including hair that has been altered with chemicals (coloring products, permanent waves, straighteners and/or relaxers) and/or exposed to brushing, combing and heat styling tools. Zone 3 is overly porous hair that extends past the shoulders in length. It has been repeatedly altered with chemicals and/or exposed to heat styling tools. Not all hair has a Zone 3. EXAMPLE USING CHROMATICS: TRADITIONAL VIRGIN APPLICATION Zone 1 Formula: 5N (5) CHROMATICS + 20 volume CHROMATICS Oil in Cream Developer Zone 2 Formula: 5N (5) CHROMATICS + 30 volume CHROMATICS Oil in Cream Developer 1. Apply selected formula to Zone 2 (the mid-shaft). 2. Immediately apply to Zone 1 (the scalp area) the formula with the lower developer 3. Begin processing time after the Zone 1 application is complete. 4. Process at room temperature for 35 minutes. 5. Rinse and shampoo with Color Extend. Condition with Color Extend. INTRODUCTION Zone 2 RETOUCH Apply selected formula to Zone 1. The MODERN VIRGIN application consists of using a lighter and warmer formula in Zone 2, applying color to Zone 1 first, and then to Zone 2. BRIGHTENING REFRESH ZONES 2 AND 3 ADVANCED BLENDING OR COVERING GRAY Follow GLAZE Steps using Shades EQ Cover Plus. Process as directed (refer to Mixing and Processing charts). Refer to each brand for specific guidelines. EXAMPLE USING CHROMATICS INTRODUCTION Use the Zone 1 formula and apply to Zone 2 for the last 5–10 minutes. Or apply a formula slightly lighter and warmer than Zone 1 the last 10 minutes; this formula may be mixed into the existing Zone 1 formula (always add an equal amount of CHROMATICS Oil in Cream Developer). OFF-SCALP APPLICATION GLAZE OR CORRECT WEAVE OR HIGHLIGHTS 1. Apply Shades EQ Cream or Shades EQ Cover Plus to Zone 1 taking ½ inch partings. After wrapping the last foil, process as directed (refer to Mixing and Processing charts). Rinse and shampoo with Hair Cleansing Cream or Color Extend. Condition with Color Extend. 2. Apply and fully saturate Zone 2, taking ¼ inch partings. 3. Process as directed (refer to Mixing and Processing charts). 4. Rinse, shampoo and condition with Color Extend. GLAZE RETOUCH Follow GLAZE Steps 1 and 2. Bring through mid-shaft and ends for up to 20 minutes as needed. LOWLIGHTS Isolate strands in a foil or paint freehand. Strand test for proper deposit. Formulas should be slightly lighter than natural level and include some warmth.

TRADITIONAL LEVEL SYSTEM CHROMATICS is formulated with the traditional level system, rather than the American 10 level system, which you may be familiar with. TO REFRESH ZONES 2 & 3 WITH CHROMATICS OPTION 1: PULL THROUGH METHOD BEST FOR: CHROMATICS • Hair types with little to no porosity issues • Coarser hair types • Hair that has faded more than 1–1½ levels • Rebalancing strong, brassy warm tones HOW: Use the Zone 1 CHROMATICS formula and pull through to Zone 2 for the last 5–10 minutes of the processing time. Or apply a formula slightly lighter and warmer than Zone 1 the last 10 minutes; this formula may be mixed into the existing Zone 1 formula (always add an equal amount of CHROMATICS Oil In Cream Developer). 25 min. 10 min. OPTION 2: PULL THROUGH WITH CLEAR To dilute results, add clear to your pull through formula. OPTION 3: PULL THROUGH WITH SHADES EQ GLOSS OR CREAM BEST FOR: BEST FOR: • Hair types with little to no porosity issues • Coarser hair types • Hair that has faded more than 1 level HOW: After applying your Zone 1 CHROMATICS formula, add 1 oz. CHROMATICS Clear and 1 oz. 10 volume CHROMATICS Oil In Cream Developer to the remaining formula in your bowl. Apply to Zone 2–3 and process for the last 10 minutes at room temperature. 25 min. • Sensitized hair • Hair with porosity issues • Hair with loss of vibrancy • Hair needing a tonal rebalance Note: Shades EQ Gloss will provide a more sheer result compared to Shades EQ Cream. Both are acidic. HOW: Formulate Shades EQ to match the Zone 1 tone result. Apply to Zone 2 and process at room temperature for up to 20 minutes, while simultaneously processing CHROMATICS. If Zone 3 is present, dilute formula with Shades EQ Clear or reduce timing and strand test often. 10 min. Please refer to Express Fill chart 15 min. 20 min.

Evaluate each client periodically. Don’t assume the color has faded the same between each visit. You may need to make seasonal adjustments to compensate for sun exposure. • When rebalancing brassy, warm tones, the level of the solution needs to be the same level as the problem.
