Lesson 2
AIM: How can we create lowlights with demi permanent color?
MOTIVATION: Your client Reba refers to her hair as “flat” because she is tired of seeing just one plain color throughout her whole head all the time. Reba wants a new look and is asking you for your opinion so her hair will no longer be this way, what would you suggest as the cosmetologist ?
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES:
Demonstrate weaving technique
Select appropriate color to create lowlights on hair wefts
Explain the process of creating lowlights
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT – MATERIALS – PREPARATION
uniform, gloves, color, demi permanent developer, tint bowl, tint brush, cape, neck strip, foils,comb, butterfly clips, shampoo, blow dryer, hair weft, pins, conditioner
PRESENTATION:
Vocabulary (They copy in their notebook):
- LOWLIGHTS ARE MADE BY DARKENING ISOLATED ( seperate from the rest) PIECES OF HAIR TO CREATE DIMENSION
- Isolation(when referring to hair coloring) is separating selected strands with a specific color from others using foil, plastic or frosting cap.
- Dimension is a range of tones in the hair instead of one flat color.
*Wella is being used today .
Q: Why is demi permanent color suitable for making lowlights ?
A: Demi permanent is suitable for low lights because the hair is being darkened and is safer to use.
Q: What mix ratio does Wella use ?
A:Wella uses 1:2 ratio
Q:What state should the hair be in to begin the process?
A: The hair has to be clean and dry
Read slide ( students fill-in blank )
A: Then we add 1 ounce of selected color in the bowl with 2 ounces of developer & mix.
View implements and materials ( they will copy onto their worksheet)
Q:What supplies on this list are new compared to a regular demi permanent procedure ?
A: Foil, Tint brush with metal tip
*The tint brush or comb with a metal tip to weave hair correctly
*Weaving technique used to select strands from a section
*View images, students state the type of changes made
Q:What type of application is used ?
Say:We are using the bowl and brush for our application . We are also using the weaving technique and foils to complete the lowlight procedure. Weaving is done with a zigzag motion of the metal tail or tint brush then color is applied to the strands, the foil is used to isolate the strands
*Show 9 section parting, show results of the lowlights
*Students watch demonstration of weaving technique and application of color
*In groups students view and demonstrate while students copy implements and materials)
Students write implements listed on procedure list
SUMMARY:
DEMI PERMANENT COLOR IS BEING USED TO CREATE LOWLIGHTS. After 1:1 ratio is used to mix the hair color and demi p developer, it is applied to hair that is in the subsection, that follows weaving technique demonstrated and isolated in foils to prevent bleeding . MATERIALS SHOULD BE COPIED ONTO WORKSHEET DURING LESSON.
IMMEDIATE APPLICATION:
Using ½ oz. of color and demi permanent developer , students will use weaving technique to create lowlights on their hair weft
IEP students: Given the printed procedure with elicit instruction to follow.
Aim : How can we create lowlights using demi permanent hair color?
Lowlight Procedure on weft
- Section weft into two equal parts vertically, from crown to nape
- Beginning at the right or left section, create a ¾ subsection at the base of the weft subsection
- Isolate the top of this subsection{⅓ inch] and weave hair out as demonstrated
- Place foil under weaved section
- Hold foil in place while applying color
- Fold from bottom to top so that the tips meet
- Fold slides of foil inward to prevent bleeding
- Continue until the section is complete, then move onto another section
MATERIALS
½ oz of color
___ of H202
