JOHANNES ITTEN, a Swiss-born painter, art theorist, and teacher, has been credited with the invention of the color circle. The principles described by Johannes Itten are used by hairdressers, artists, and scientists when selecting and combining colors.

YELLOWORANGE

The most commonly used color circle theory among hair professionals is that colors opposite each other are complementary—and that they neutralize each other.

PRIMARY C O LO RS

 Violet will neutralize yellow

S EC O N DARY C O LO RS

 Blue will neutralize orange

Created by combining two primary colors

 Green will neutralize red

 Violet, green, and orange

Artistry and skill are needed to get exactly the right concentrations to balance unwanted tones and achieve a natural-looking result.

TERTIARY C O LO RS

Created by combining a primary and a secondary color  Blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange,

THE SCIENCE

All permanent haircolor formulas need an alkalizing agent to open the cuticle layer to allow the oxidative dye to enter the hair and form the new color. Ammonia, being a small gas molecule, evaporates quickly. This is what causes its brief smell, which indicates that it leaves the hair and causes no further disruption once the coloring process is complete.

MOROC CA NOI L P ROF E S S I ONA L HAI RCOLOR COLLE CT I ON Discover a complete range of care-infused haircolor products designed to support the professional in offering a wide variety of in-salon services. Featuring our proprietary ProArginine + ArganID™ and E.P3 + ArganID™ Systems for exceptional protection throughout the color process.

ProArginine & Low Ammonia ProArginine’s affinity to the hair supports the coloring process with less damage over time, leaving the hair significantly stronger, while the low level of ammonia enables the best color results.

E.P3 & Low Ammonia E.P3’s 3-in-1, multi-action technology enhances color penetration, purifies metal ions, and protects hair from environmental damage for vibrant, uniform, long-lasting color.

Our Color Rhapsody Permanent and Color Calypso Demi-Permanent portfolios are powered by the Moroccanoil ProArginine + ArganID™ System, which is proven to provide exceptional protection throughout the color process, delivering vibrant, long-lasting color with intense shine. What is ProArginine? ProArginine is a type of amino acid that is naturally found in the hair fiber. In its original state, it is highly alkaline. When used at higher, active levels, it becomes a powerful good-for-you alkalizing agent that supports the haircolor chemistry. After ProArginine is finished with its alkalizing duties, it begins to repair the hair by patching up the damaged areas of the cuticle. What is ArganID™? ArganID™ technology features positively charged micro-particles that are attracted to the negatively charged hair fiber, infusing the antioxidant and moisturizing powers of argan oil deep into the cortex.

9


1 ProArginine acts as an alkalizing agent that effectively swells the cuticle to allow haircolor to penetrate into the hair.

2 During the haircolor process, ProArginine + ArganID™ work synergistically to protect and nourish the hair.

3 Color adheres more readily to hair restored with the ProArginine + ArganID™ System, creating healthier-looking, long-lasting haircolor.

Our Color Eclipse portfolio is powered by the exclusive Moroccanoil E.P3 + ArganID™ System, which results in stronger color adherence, ensuring rich saturation, radiant vibrancy, and uniform coverage, while hair remains soft and healthy-looking.

What is E.P3? This 3-in-1, multi-action proprietary technology enhances color penetration, purifies metal ions, and protects against environmental damage.

What is ArganID™? ArganID™ technology features positively charged micro-particles that are attracted to the negatively charged hair fiber, infusing the antioxidant and moisturizing powers of argan oil deep into the cortex.

9 11


1 Enhances Color Penetration The E.P3 complex swells the cuticle, delivering dye molecules deep into the cortex of the hair for high-saturation results and improved color longevity.

2 Purifies Metal Ions The E.P3 complex encapsulates and neutralizes metal ions in the hair that interfere with the coloring process, ensuring true-to-tone color results while preventing breakage and damage. At the same time, E.P3 distributes dyestuff evenly throughout the hair, providing uniform color results from roots to ends.

3 Protects from Damage As the coloring process ends, E.P3 wraps around each strand, creating a protective barrier to help reduce color fade and hair damage.

Whether you are looking for a vibrant result, a tonal shift, or a pastel hue, Color Infusion Pure Color Mixers are concentrated enough to make an impact, while providing a balanced saturation for easy measuring without restricting your creativity or options. Color wheel theory plays an important role when working with these pure tones. Remember that some tones are naturally more influential than others.

MAS TER FO RMULATO RS ’ REC O MMEN DATIO N S :  Color theory tells us more dye = darker results. To achieve an

intense 5.06, mix 30g of 6.0 + 5g of Red; the extra Red dye will create a darker result. To dilute or formulate at a lighter depth, add CLEAR.

 Our Red is cool for an intense effect. To increase vibrancy, warm

it up with a little Orange.

 Mixing small quantities of Color Infusion Pure Color Mixers with

CLEAR creates pure tonal pastels, ideal for pastel effects, color correction, pre-toning, or enhancing white/grey.

 Blending different Color Infusion Pure Color Mixers is a great

way to create new and unique tonal directions; try Blue and Grey for a brushed platinum effect, or Red and Yellow for a rose-gold tone.

 Don’t forget—different tones will pack a different punch. Do a

strand test before applying.

Color Infusion pre-pigmentation techniques can be used before applying Color Calypso, Color Rhapsody, or Color Eclipse. Follow the usage guidelines for the color line you choose to work with. NOTE: Color on top of color can go darker; therefore, we recommend formulating your desired target shade slightly lighter (1–2 levels) to avoid an over-darkening of the final result.

When desired color has been achieved, add water, emulsify, and rinse thoroughly. Lightly shampoo and condition with Moroccanoil Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner. P RO TI P : For even color results, comb through the mid-length and ends every 10 minutes during development. P RO TI P: To boost vibrancy or maintain lightness in the mid-length and ends, use an Oxidative Cream Developer one level higher than the root formula. For example, if using 6.4 + 20 vol.

PRO TIP: When using strong tonal shades, there are different approaches to balance vibrancy from roots to ends. 1) Increase warmth in the mid-length and ends. For example, if using 6.6 + 30 vol. (9%) for the roots, use 6.6 + Color Infusion Orange + 30 vol. (9%) for the mid-length and ends. 2) Soften depth in the mid-length and ends. For example, if using 5.66 + 20 vol. (6%) for the roots, use 5.66 + CLEAR + 20 vol. (6%) for the mid-length and ends. 3) Increase coolness at the roots. For example, use 8.12 + Color Infusion Blue or Violet + 30 vol. (9%) for the roots to reduce orange-yellow tones, while using 8.12 + 30 vol. (9%) for the mid-length and ends.

Based on the hair’s history, follow the appropriate guidelines for going lighter, darker, staying the same depth, or changing haircolor. Apply haircolor carefully between the foils. If lightened sections achieve the desired lift before the haircolor has fully developed, remove the foils. Wipe or rinse off the lightener, gently towel-dry, and keep separate from the haircolor still processing. Develop the haircolor for the full recommended development time. When desired color has been achieved, add water, emulsify, and rinse thoroughly. Lightly shampoo and condition with Moroccanoil Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner. If needed, apply a demi-permanent or permanent toner to the lightened sections, following the guidelines for ArganID™ Toning or ArganID™ Glossing services.

LIG HTEN IN G ARTIFIC IAL HAIRC O LO R

As soon as we introduce an oxidant into the hair, the natural melanin will start to lighten. Both dark and light hair colors move through levels as shown in the lightening scale. The entry point on the scale is related to the natural depth. The exit point is related to the target depth and influenced by product choice.

There are many different dyes used in artificial haircolor, which makes the process of lightening it less predictable in comparison to natural hair color.

The speed and level of lift are influenced by a combination of the haircolor products and developers selected, as well as the uniqueness of the individual hair; no two clients are alike.

•

1–3 levels of lift are possible when working with Color Rhapsody Permanent Cream Color.

•

Up to 5 levels of lift are possible with Color Rhapsody High Lift Permanent Cream Color.

•

For more than 5 levels of lift, a lightener is needed such as Blonde Voyage.

Permanent dyes cannot lift artificial haircolor. Every time you apply color you are adding to what is already in the hair, and adding color on top of existing color simply creates darker results. In order to lift artificial haircolor you will need to work with a lightener such as Blonde Voyage 9 Powder Lightener, Blonde Voyage 7 Powder Lightener, Blonde Voyage Clay Lightener, or Blonde Voyage Cream Lightener. Here are a few tips and considerations when lightening artificial haircolor. •

onduct a swatch test to prevent any potential C surprises and identify limitations.

•

Dyes work in different parts of the hair, so adjust your mixes to target the different dyes you are trying to remove.

•

Be realistic about what is achievable with the time you have, the condition of the hair, and the cost of the service.

•

Take time to manage the client’s expectations— what they want may or may not be possible, suit their hair, or fit their lifestyle.

Pre-toning involves neutralizing unwanted warm tones prior to applying the final tone. This is a helpful technique when working with iridescent toners that could be overly influenced by the hair’s warmth. Toning is used to set the new tonal direction for the hair. Color Rhapsody, Color Infusion, and Color Calypso offer a wide selection of shades and service options to choose from when pre-toning or toning. Moroccanoil Color Depositing Mask is also a great choice when toning or creating new color directions on porous hair. Moroccanoil Blonde Perfecting Purple Shampoo can be used to combat unwanted warmth during lightening service. Apply to pre-toned hair, leave on for 3–5 minutes, and rinse. Moroccanoil Treatment Purple can be used to help further combat unwanted warmth after lightening service. Apply a small amount on damp or dry hair. Style as desired.

more in-depth.  70% book an appointment when an in-depth consultation

is performed. Conducting regular client consultations is not only a necessity for the professional to select the appropriate color service, but also an expectation of the client.

foilayage – a technique similar to balayage where haircolor or lightener is painted on the hair, but then each painted section is wrapped in foils.

balayage – sweeping haircolor or lightener directly onto the hair using a brush and planchette.

global color – the haircolor shade assigned to cover the entire head.

block coloring – applying a single haircolor shade to a large section within a design pattern.

hair color – natural pigment.

color fade – the natural process in which artificial pigments lose depth and vibrancy due to oxidation over time. color melt – application technique that blends the root color with highlights or balayage tones, to make the base color look like it is “melting” into the other tones in the hair. color wheel – colors arranged around the circumference of a circle comprised of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. complementary – complementary colors are two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. cortex – the middle layer of the hair shaft; it provides the strength, color, and texture of a hair fiber. coverage – the ability of a haircolor product to completely color both pigmented and non-pigmented hair. cuticle – the outer layer of the hair shaft; it is thin, colorless, and provides protection to the cortex. demi-permanent – haircolor pigments that contain no ammonia and are mixed with a low-volume developer to help open the cuticle. This type of color is great for blending grey, enhancing natural hair color, refreshing color, toning highlights, and corrective work; it can last up to 28 shampoos. deposit – the ability of a haircolor mixture to add color pigment to the hair. developer – an oxidizing agent that, when mixed with an oxidative haircolor, supplies the necessary oxygen to create a change in the color of the hair, while developing artificial haircolor molecules. dyestuff – colorless individual components that come together through an oxidation process. The newly formed color molecules become the visible haircolor.

haircolor – artificial pigment. intensity – the strength of tonality of a haircolor shade. level/depth – the lightness or darkness of the natural hair color, or of a haircolor shade. lift – the degree of lightening achieved during the processing time of an oxidative haircolor or lightening agent while on the hair. medulla – the innermost, nearly invisible layer of the hair shaft; it is the softest and most fragile and serves as the pith or marrow of the hair. melanin – naturally occurring pigment found within the cortex, which contributes to the color of hair. neutralize – to apply a complementary tone that counteracts either warm or cool tones. ombré – a pattern in which colors or tones transition into one another. permanent – haircolor that generally contains ammonia, which opens the cuticle layer so that the developer and colorants can together penetrate the cortex. It must be mixed with a developer or oxidizing agent in order to permanently change hair color. planchette – a balayage board, from the French word for “little plank.” primary colors – blue, red, and yellow; these form the foundation of all colors and cannot be created by mixing other colors. regrowth – the new hair between the scalp and previously chemically treated hair. secondary colors – violet, green, and orange; created by combining equal proportions of 2 primary colors.

section – an isolated and secured area of the hair, used for control and ease of application.

amino acid – any of the large number of compounds found in living cells that contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, which together form proteins.

semi-permanent – haircolor pigments that use compounds of lower molecular weight than temporary haircolor dyes and involve no developer (hydrogen peroxide) or ammonia. These dyes can wedge under the cuticle layer of the hair shaft, and the haircolor will survive limited washing, typically 4–8 shampoos.

antioxidant – a substance that inhibits oxidation. compound – a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together. emollient – an ingredient used to soften the hair or skin.

shade – the combination of level, tone, and intensity that identifies a haircolor.

hydrophilic – having an affinity for water. hydrophobic – having no affinity for water. keratin – a fibrous protein forming the main structure of hair.

subtractive/progressive – continuous addition of artificial color, darkening the depth.

molecule – a group of atoms bonded together.

temporary – haircolor that has pigments with a high molecular weight and cannot penetrate the cuticle layer; the color particles remain closely adhered to the surface of the hair shaft and are easily removed with a single shampooing. However, temporary haircolor can persist on excessively dry or damaged hair in a way that allows for migration of the pigment to the interior of the hair shaft.

protein – any of the large number of organic compounds consisting of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids.

polymer – chemical compounds made of smaller, identical molecules (called monomers) linked together.

viscosity – the thickness of a solution.

tertiary colors – colors produced by an equal mixture of a primary color with a secondary color adjacent to it on the color wheel. tone – the warmth or coolness of a shade. under-processed – haircolor that has not fully developed due to insufficient processing time. volume – the measurement of the potential oxidation of varying strengths of hydrogen peroxide. wash-out – as hair is subjected to shampooing, artificial pigment washes away from the surface of the cuticle or from between the cuticle layers.
