THE LAW
OF COLOR

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 2 | THE LAW OF COLOR 8

THE LAW OF COLOR


IN ORDER TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ART OF HAIR COLORING,
THE FIRST STEP IS TO UNDERSTAND THE BASIC LAW OF COLOR.

Optically, color is a reflection of light. When a beam of white light strikes a prism, it is
separated into six different colors that can be seen with the naked eye.

YELLOW ORANGE RED GREEN BLUE VIOLET

THESE COLORS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS:

1. PRIMARY COLORS:
Yellow , Red and Blue

2. S ECONDARY COLORS:
Orange , Green , Violet Which are made by combining two primary colors

3. T ERTIARY COLORS:
Blue-Violet , or Yellow-Orange (Gold) .
Made by mixing primary colors with their neighboring secondary colors.

All hair color is tertiary, however, it is important as a colorist to train your eye to identify
the dominating primary or secondary color within the hair color. Once a colorist can
identify the dominating color and fully understand the Law of Color, even the most
severe corrective work becomes a system of logical steps.

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 2 | THE LAW OF COLOR 9

USE THE COLOR WHEEL AS A GUIDE TO THE LAW OF COLOR.


Colors opposite each other are known as complementary or counteracting colors. To
control or correct any color, simply add the complementary color. To control orange, add
blue. To control yellow, add violet, and to control gold (yellow-orange), add blue-violet.
These rules are called the Law of Color.
The Color Wheel below shows the positioning of primary and secondary colors as
well as a tertiary color, yellow-orange (gold), which is commonly found in hair color.
The most important detail about this illustration for a hair colorist to remember is
when a natural hair color is the desired end result, a balance of the complementary or
counteracting colors is necessary. The placement of brown as the nucleus of the Color
Wheel illustrates what your result will be every time you combine two colors directly
across from each other on the Color Wheel.

UNIVERSAL LAW OF COLOR:

RED
PRIMARY COLORS:
Yellow, Red, Blue
By mixing any two of the Primary
VIOLET ORANGE Colors we create the Secondary Colors.

SECONDARY COLORS:
Orange, Green, Violet
BROWN
WE CAN SEE THAT:
1. Blue is opposite Orange
BLUE YELLOW 2. Yellow is opposite Violet
3. Blue-Violet is opposite
Yellow-Orange
GREEN 4. Red is opposite Green

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 2 | THE LAW OF COLOR 10

NATURAL HAIR COLOR CONTAINS THE THREE PRIMARY COLORS.


The primary colors mixed in varying proportions create brown. Therefore, all natural hair
colors are a shade of brown with a dominating tone.

FOR EXAMPLE:
A blond is simply the lightest brown with dominating Yellow
A redhead is brown with dominating Orange
Black hair is the darkest brown with dominating Blue

Remember that all hair color is brown. It is important to understand the presence of
primary and secondary colors in hair color, then to combine that knowledge with the
basic law of counteracting or complementary colors. The result is a logical formulation
choice, with the optimum hair color result for each client.

GOLDWELL HAIR COLOR


DEPOT SYSTEM
GOLDWELL IS THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE PROFESSIONAL
HAIR COSMETIC MARKET THAT OFFERS A DEPOT-CAN SYSTEM
AS WELL AS THE CONVENTIONAL TUBE PACKAGING.

The Goldwell Color Depot System was introduced in 1978 at the World Hairdressing
Championship in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The Depot System consists of revolutionary color canisters that hold Topchic
and Colorance hair color individually, along with a supporting set of interconnecting
tools created to give you a more simple, precise and versatile way to store, dispense
and apply hair color.
WHAT IS

TOPCHIC ?
Goldwell is the only company in the professional hair cosmetic market that offers a
depot-can system as well as the conventional tube packaging. This system facilitates
exact dosing, as well as very simple and clean dispensing of the color. Furthermore,
this type of packaging reseals the color completely after each dispensing by means
of a valve. This prevents oxidation of the color with oxygen from the air. The system
is very economical as it saves material through exact dosing, making the re-mixing of
even the smallest quantities possible.

HOME CONTENTS IntellIgent Color


TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT
CHAP 3 | GOLDWELL HAIR COLOR DEPOT SYSTEM 13

THE DEPOT CAN IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DUE TO A NATURAL


PROPELLANT AND IS RECYCLABLE.
It is a wall-scraping system that ensures less waste and noticeably faster dispensing
from the first to the last application.

HOW DOES THE DEPOT SYSTEM WORK?


The Depot System is a combination of a pump for the lotion, and mixing or measuring tools
with a valve to allow clean and precise measuring. When pressing the value at the top of the
depot can, the pressurization pushes up the interior piston, causing discharge of the color.
With this system, air is never allowed to mix with the color, thereby ensuring long-lasting shelf
life without oxidation. The color remains fresh until the entire contents of the can are used.
Topchic and Colorance are also available in tubes allowing the colorist the option to purchase
the size which is most suitable for the salon.

COLORMAT
For maximum versatility, the ColorMat was designed as an all-in-one
dispensing, measuring and application tool to help you achieve the
best color results every time.
The ColorMat is a combination of a bowl, a brush and a mixing
bottle. It is the preferred method of applying Topchic hair color,
allowing clean, simple and time-saving application of the color mixture.
The ColorMat syringe-type color delivery system comes equipped with
an application brush and a color liner for quick highlighting application.
ColorMat Instructions and Application Tips
1. Before filling the ColorMat, press down on the handle of the
mixing shaft to lock. If handle fails to lock, the mixing shaft will
shift during the filling process resulting in color slipping beyond
the gasket which makes cleansing more difficult.

2. Make sure that the pressure regulator is up and unlocked before


COLORMAT
filling the ColorMat. Press ColorMat onto the dosage pump
of the Topchic Lotion bottle and measure required amount by
depressing the pump.

3. Measure required amount of Topchic Color in the same manner, by exerting a light pressure
on the Topchic depot can. Do not exceed the maximum filling level of 80mL total; doing so will
cause color to emerge beyond the gasket.

4. By pressing the mixing shaft several times (in pumping action), the Topchic Lotion and Topchic
Color are blended into a smooth creamy mixture. After thoroughly mixing, attach the color
liner or applicator brush.

5. When using the applicator brush, the wedge side of the brush must be facing upward. Section hair
with the sectioning hook. Press either of the two levers to release the mixture through the value.

6. Apply evenly onto properly sectioned hair. For highlights or very subtle color results, use color
liner attachment. The highlights are achieved by drawing lines of color from the warm zone to
the ends.

7. If Topchic Lotion and Topchic Color mixture in the color chamber is less than 40mL, operate
pressure regulator by pressing downward and turning clockwise into the locked position. After
operation, the pressure regulator should always be released before refilling or cleaning the
ColorMat.

8. Remove remaining color mixture by pressing the levers of the color liner or applicator brush,
then measure approximately 30mL of water from the cleansing bottle. *Pump mixing lever
several times. Press valve upward to release the water. Rinse color liner or applicator brush
carefully with warm water. The ColorMat is now ready to be used again.

* The Depot water bottle filled with water should be used as your cleansing bottle.

TOPCHIC PERMANENT
HAIR COLOR
WITH TOPCHIC, YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT IN
ACHIEVING YOUR TARGET COLOR EVERY TIME.

GOLDWELL TOPCHIC PERMANENT HAIR COLOR IS AN


OXIDATIVE TINT.
Tint is a term which refers to permanent color change on the hair structure. In order to
achieve the lift or lightening cycle together with the deposit cycle (permanent color),
four basic ingredients are necessary. Only when a colorist understands the function of
each ingredient in permanent color or tint, can he/she achieve the best quality hair color
service. Topchic offers hair colorists an extensive selection of over 100 shades, which
minimizes the need for intermixing of colors. Included are the 2+1 HighLift shades, which
are used to produce maximum lift and control in a single process. Topchic is available in
250mL (245g/8.6 oz.) canisters and 60mL tubes. With Topchic, you can be confident in

CHAP 4 | TOPCHIC PERMANENT HAIR COLOR 22

A: AMMONIA
Ammonia is used in permanent hair color for two reasons:

1. To produce an alkaline pH which is required for color development and for lift (the
decoloration of melanin).

2. To swell the hair for easy penetration of the color pigments for color formation
and lightening.
While it is necessary for all permanent hair color to use ammonia or ammonia
derivatives, the ideal is to leave as little damage as possible. Topchic contains low
ammonia prior to mixing 1:1 with Topchic Lotion. You will discover minimal cuticular
stress, less odor and richer, long-lasting hair color. You will also notice an unparalleled
amount of shine.
In future chapters, you will learn how to achieve the optimum maintenance of
permanent color with the Goldwell Color Balancing Service.

B: BASE
Bases vary from one manufacturer to another. Bases can be cream, oil, wax, gel or shampoo.
The choice of the base will determine the capability and quality of the finished color.
Topchic Base has a cream-gel consistency. Easy for measuring, mixing and application,
the system works as a wetting agent that ensures superior color penetration without
subsequent increases in ammonia percentage, allowing for superior grey coverage.

C: COLOR
Conventional color pigments have two arms/hooks that couple on the hair and other
pigments in the hair.
Topchic is formulated with Color LINK, a patented technology that allows the
coupling together of dye intermediates once inside the hair. Once linked together, these
molecules chain and may be considered like Velcro. These new chains with Color LINK
now have four hooks for each unit, whereas previously there were two hooks. The
additional hooks allow the Color LINK color chains to hold onto the hair strongly and
therefore, not wash out as easily. As a result, colors stay true between salon visits.

The Integrated Protect System (IPS) is a combination of the patented Co-enzyme


Technology to neutralize potentially harmful free radicals reducing oxidizing damage
and the Equalizer Polymer 2.0 to balance structural differences at the surface of the hair
for a more even color result and smoother hair with better comb-ability.

Patented Co-enzyme Technology


Natural radical scavengers neutralize free radicals caused by oxidation offering more
protection than conventional hair color during the chemical process protecting the inner
hair structure. This results in extraordinary brilliance and intensity.

CHAP 4 | TOPCHIC PERMANENT HAIR COLOR 23

Color Equalizer System 2.0


A special Polymer and Poly-silicone, equalize the structural differences at the surface
of the hair preparing the hair for more even color uptake that will give 40% improved
comb-ability This results in more even color and improved coverage than conventional
hair color Panthenol (Vitamin B5) minimizes cuticle swelling, nourishes hair and helps
maintain moisture.
Segmented Technologies
1. DPS Dye Penetration System in the Natural shades for superior grey coverage.

2. Cool Protect in the cool brown and cool blonde shades to minimize brassiness.

3. Chromax in the Max Red shades for intensity and durability.

4. Reflects 3 System in the TriFlective Naturals for dimensional, modern grey coverage.

D- DEVELOPER OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H202)


Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is used in hair color developers. It is important to understand
that all 20 volume developers are not created equal, nor are 10, 30, or 40 volume.
H2O2 reacts in conjunction with ammonia to diffuse (lift) natural melanin. It flushes
in oxygen causing oxidation of color pigments. Once developed, the pigments become
trapped in the hair for extended vibrancy. The Goldwell brand hydrogen peroxide
developer is called Topchic Lotion.
Topchic Lotion has a dual role during the color process. Its first function is to react
in conjunction with the ammonia to lift or diffuse the natural pigments. Once the new
color pigments have penetrated the hair shaft, the Topchic Lotion flushes in oxygen
causing oxidation or development of the pigments. Once developed, the pigments
become trapped in the hair for extended vibrancy.
During the process, Topchic Lotion converts from hydrogen peroxide (H202) to
water (H20) and oxygen (02). Topchic Lotion contains stabilizers that ensure proper
maintenance of the volume, and emollients for scalp protection.
Topchic Lotion developer contains the IntraLipid Technology which gives optimum
condition and predictable results with Topchic hair color. The acidity is perfectly
balanced with the alkalinity of Topchic hair color. Always dispense Topchic Lotion first,
then Topchic Color. Intermixing of other manufacturers products is strictly prohibited!

CHAP 5 | GOLDWELL LEVEL SYSTEM 25

GOLDWELL
LEVEL SYSTEM
THE LEVEL SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF
TWO AREAS; NUMBERS AND LETTERS.

The number denotes the degree of lightness and darkness, and the letter denotes the
shade or tone of a color. Goldwell uses a European level system to determine the depth
of color (measurement from dark to light), with Level 2 being the darkest black, and 10
being the lightest blonde. Every hair color, natural or color-treated, can be categorized
between Levels 2 and 10.

TO FURTHER CLARIFY THE UNDERSTANDING OF A LEVEL SYSTEM:


Goldwell has chosen 9 levels of variation from light to dark, eliminating the overlap of
levels and the duplication of shades. Goldwell explains the system horizontally thereby
offering a greater variety of shades within each level.

GOLDWELL SHADES AND TONES: THE GOLDWELL MASTER


PALETTE OF COLOR
Many people can have the same level of hair, without having the same hair color. For
example, one head of hair may be a natural Level 6 with red highlights, and another may
be a natural Level 6 with no red or warm highlights. Goldwell uses a lettering system to
determine the shades and tones found in the hair. The letter relates directly to the base
color within the shade. When 2 letters are present, the base will be predominantly the 1st
letter in the direction of the 2nd letter IE: GB tones are predominantly Gold in the Brown
or Beige direction. These shades each have a special function, explained below.

SHADES AND TONES

THE NATURALS:
N = Natural Tones
The base of the natural (N) series is a natural brown made from a
combination of yellow, red, and blue at each level. Therefore, the
darker levels have more blue, and the lightest levels have less blue,
causing yellow to be more dominant. However, they still appear as
lighter and darker browns.
The natural tones fulfill a very special task; they give optimum
coverage on grey or white hair. When working on grey hair and
optimum grey coverage is desired, always use a portion of the natural
series in your formula.
Also, each level of the N Series represents the base of the natural hair on which
Topchic shade swatches 210 were produced.
NA = Natural Ash Tones
These shades are a combination of the natural and ash tones (NA) with the Cool Protect
Technology preventing the cool browns and cool blondes turning brassy while providing
100% grey coverage. They are predominantly Natural tones in the Ash direction.
NN = Natural Natural
Optimum coverage on resistant grey or white hair. When working on resistant grey
hair and optimum grey coverage is desired, always use a portion of the NN series in
your formula. Use instead of N series for resistant grey hair. Results may appear darker
due to improved grey coverage.
TriFlective Naturals
While TriFlective Naturals are final shade creations with a defined assortment, N and NN
shades can be mixed with the entire assortment for ultimate variety. With the Reflects 3
System, TriFlective Naturals provide a very lively and shimmering color result, N and NN
shades allow you to achieve also a more solid grey coverage result if desired. TriFlective
Naturals do not replace the existing N and NN shades but they are an extension of grey
coverage service offer. There are 9 shades with Topchic and 100% grey coverage. There
are 6 Shades with Colorance Mild Demi-Permanent Color for up 75% grey coverage.

CHAP 5 | GOLDWELL LEVEL SYSTEM 28

THE WARM SHADES: BLONDES, BROWNS, REDS


G = Gold Tones
The base of the gold series is gold (yellow-orange). Gold tones will not
optimally cover grey alone. The gold shades are beautiful fashion colors
with iridescent tones of gold. They add brightness and vibrancy to
almost any shade.
GB = Gold Beige Tones
Gold-beige (GB) tones are a compound shade mixed. The GB tones
are predominately gold in the brown or beige direction. The GB Series
provides a natural looking golden-blonde highlight. When lifting 2 or
more levels and using the GB Series, the gold will become much more
predominant due to the exposure of the underlying pigment.
B = Brown/Beige Tones
These are brown based colors with more warmth, and are more of a
fashion brown than the natural tones. The brown tones are suggested
for new color clients who want to brighten up their natural hair color
without a dramatic change. These shades are brown with a minimal
amount of red and gold added for shine. The brown tones should be
mixed with the Natural tones for optimum grey coverage.
BG = Brown/Beige Gold Tones
Brown- Gold (BG) tones are a compound shade mixed. The BG tones
are predominantly brown or beige in the gold direction. They provide
a rich warm brown fashion shade.
BN = Brown/Beige Natural
BN (Brown-Natural), KN (Copper-Natural) and GN (Gold-Natural) They
cover up to 30% grey without additional N-Series. These shades are
excellent for lowlights.
RB = Red Brown Tones
The red-brown (RB) tones are a compound shade. The RB tones
are predominantly brown in the red direction. It is ideal for adding
reddish-brown highlights to dull hair. The RB shades are ideal for
introducing your clients to the world of fashion hair color; just
enough excitement, yet very natural. The red-brown tones should
be mixed with the natural tones for optimum grey coverage.
K = Copper Tones
The base of the copper (K) tones is orange. They add a rich auburn
(copper) tone to any base level. The K tones look very natural, much
like a natural redhead would look. The copper tones should be mixed
with the Natural tones for optimum grey coverage.
KG = Copper Gold tones
Copper-gold (KG) tones are a compound shade combined. The KG
tones are predominantly copper (K) in the gold direction. The KG
tones are strong, exciting fashion tones which deliver peak vibrancy
and brightness. The copper-gold tones should be mixed with the
natural tones for optimum grey coverage.

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 5 | GOLDWELL LEVEL SYSTEM 29

OR = Orange Red
The OR tones are a compound shade of orange and red tones. The OR tones are
predominantly orange in the red direction. These will provide intense, fiery reds.
KR = Copper Red
The KR tones are a compound shade of copper and red tones. The KR tones are
predominantly copper in the red direction. In these shades, direct pigment has been
added for more intensity.
OO/RO Max = 7OO and 7RO
Contains the Chromax Technology that provides durable intense reds. They can be
applied on grey hair, however not recommended for grey coverage. Not recommended
to mix with any other shade for grey coverage. They can be mixed with any other Max
Red Shade.

THE COOL SHADES


Blondes, Browns, Reds
The Cool Blondes and the Cool Browns contain the Cool Protect Technology that keeps
your blondes and brunettes cool and not fading to a brassy tone.
BP= Beige Pearl
BA= Beige Ash
A = Ash Tones
The base of the Ash (A) series have corrective dyestuffs to counteract different levels of
orange. Alone, the ash tones will not cover grey but can be mixed with the Natural series
for grey coverage. Whenever maximum control of orange is desired, the strength of the
corrective dyestuffs of the (A) series will counteract the orange, creating natural looking
brown.
MB/BM = Matte Brown
As with most green-based colors, they have a tendency to look drab and unnatural or
have a green cast. The MB series are a green-base with warm green matte direction
to create cool jade browns or natural looking browns at darker levels. The BM Series
(brown matte) can create natural looking, cool chocolate browns.
SB/BS = Silver Brown/Beige
Silver Browns/Brown Silver are designed to create cool or neutral brown/beige tones.
There are no silver dyestuffs, they are in a sheer blue-grey shade direction. They are
excellent for mixing with other shades to create cool or warm tones.
P = Pearl Tones
The Pearl (P) tones also have corrective dyestuffs and are responsible for controlling the
common problem of unwanted gold or brassiness in blonde hair. Gold is a tertiary color of a
yellow-orange base. Yellow-orange and blue-violet are directly opposite each other on the
Color Star. This means they counteract each other, creating a natural, neutral, or beige tone.
V = Violet
The base of the Violet (V) series is Violet. For example, 4V has a deep cool tone and is used
as a fashion tone. 10V is a pastel violet ideal for toning after decolorization to control yellow.

CHAP 5 | GOLDWELL LEVEL SYSTEM 30

MAX REDS FASHION SHADES


VV/RV/RR MAX Chromax Technology
A combination of intense red oxidative dyes. These expressive, long lasting reds provide
supreme color shine with highly intensive and vibrant dyestuffs. They are notably more
vibrant and intense comparably to oxidative fashion colors.
Unique shades in real red and cool red (RR and RV). Powerful shades ranging from
warm to cool; covering even the highly intensive red and red-violet color characters.
These shades are designated with red caps in Topchic and Colorance Mild Alkaline
canisters and tubes.
R = Red Tones
Red tones are a red-base with a small amount of blue added for cool fashion red. This
small amount of blue will prevent the end result from becoming too orange or too warm.
Ideal for olive skin toned clients.
THE MIX SHADES
The Goldwell Color System includes 6 Topchic mix tones or concentrates. These shades
can be substituted as part of the hair color formula to intensify the respective color.
Up to a maximum of 25% or of the color portion of the formula can be substituted
with a concentrate (i.e., if the color portion of the formula is 40mL, the maximum
concentrate is 10mL).

THE FOLLOWING IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE 6 TOPCHIC CONCENTRATES.


The concentrates are categorized as either drabbers or intensifiers.

DRABBERS
A-ASH MIX Dark drabber provides additional control of undesirable
(Blue base) orange on Levels 26.

GUIDELINES
TOPCHIC, COLORANCE, OR NECTAYA

As a professional colorist, consider the following factors when analyzing hair. Doing so
will help you select a suitable shade(s) for the client, the proper technique for application,
and ideal color product(s) to use: Topchic, Colorance, or Nectaya.

CONSIDER THE CLIENTS...

HAIR TEXTURE: HAIR HEALTH: INDIVIDUALITY:

FINE NORMAL EYE COLOR

MEDIUM RESISTANT SKIN TONE

COURSE POROUS PREFERENCE

PERMED PERSONALITY

PREVIOUSLY TINTED

LIGHTENED OR BLEACHED

HOME TREATED

After completing the above diagnosis, use the Blueprint for Formulation to determine
your formula. The following steps are sequenced to systematically plan a successful
formula. The blueprint concept never changes. You can follow the identical sequence
on virgin applications, corrective work or tint-back procedures.*

*On corrective or tint-back procedures follow the same sequence inserting necessary steps.

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 6 | FORMULATION GUIDELINES 35

BLUEPRINT FOR FORMULATION


Effective communication between the colorist and the client is extremely important to
determine the needs and desires of the client and to develop the ideal hair color formula.

STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE EXISTING LEVEL OR LEVELS (XL)


Using the N series swatches from the Color Tableau or Universal Shade Chart, determine
the existing level(s). It is essential to know the existing level and base shade(s) so a
starting point can be determined and if the target color can be achieved in a single or
double process.

STEP 2: DETERMINE THE TARGET LEVEL


Ask:  Would you like your hair to be lighter, darker or maintain the same level, only
adjusting the tone?
Answering steps 12 will determine the proper developers for optimum results.

STEP 3: DETERMINE THE TARGET COLOR (TC)


Ask:  Do you prefer fashion tones with gold or reddish tones or a natural brown tone,
etc.? (Choose a desired shade).

STEP 4: DETERMINE THE GREY PERCENTAGE (%)


Using the three categories of grey percentage (see Chapter 8), also consider whether the
client prefers grey coverage or grey blending. When there is grey in the natural hair, the
formula must contain a portion of the N Series for optimum coverage.

STEP 5: DETERMINE THE NATURAL CONTRIBUTING PIGMENT (NCP)


The Natural Contributing Pigment is the melanin that is exposed when lightening the hair.
This can be used to your advantage or can be used against you and must be considered
when attempting to counteract warmth.
To establish a worksheet from the blueprint, use the symbols in the formula shown below:

XL = EXISTING LEVEL
= TARGET LEVEL

TC = TARGET COLOR
% = PERCENTAGE OF GREY
NCP = NATURAL CONTRIBUTING PIGMENT

NATURAL CONTRIBUTING PIGMENT


To develop a better understanding of how natural underlying pigment will influence
color results, hair coloring can be categorized into either fashion formulation or
natural formulation.

FASHION FORMULATION COLORING:


The easiest type of formulation is Fashion coloring. This is true because, by targeting the
same level or going lighter with a fashion end result, the warm underlying pigment is
exposed. Therefore will enhance your end result.

EXAMPLES OF FASHION FORMULATION:

XL 6 20 vol. 40 mL
7
TC 7KG 7KG 40 mL
NCP XLO EXTRA LIGHT ORANGE
% 0

No control is necessary since KG is a fashion shade.

NATURAL FORMULATION:
Natural Formulation refers to hair coloring which requires the diffusion of natural
pigment before depositing the new artificial pigment.
Anytime hair is lightened, some of the natural pigments are diffused. When hair
is lightened from the darker levels, the dominance of the blue pigment is removed,
exposing a blend of the other primary colors (red and yellow) which together make
orange. At the lighter levels, more red and yellow are removed. Also at the lighter
levels, yellow dominates over the red, thus creating the tertiary color yellow-orange
or what is commonly referred to as gold.
Lightening hair always contributes warmth to the end result. Considering this,
a logical choice can be made whether to use the natural underlying pigment to
add warmth and brightness to a fashion color, or to control the natural underlying
pigment using a counteracting or complementary color. It is necessary to use some
counteracting color if a natural tone is desired.
If the target color is a warm or fashion tone, no control is necessary. The underlying
pigment will contribute brightness and vibrancy to the final result.

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 6 | FORMULATION GUIDELINES 38

If a natural tone is the desired target color, simply use the appropriate counteracting
color (right column) to control unwanted warmth (orange or gold). The result achieved
will be a more natural target color.

THE FOLLOWING CHART SHOWS THE NATURAL UNDERLYING PIGMENT

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR SUCCESS:


Remember that the counteracting color used for control is determined by the underlying
pigment at the target level (not starting level).
Consider that the darker the existing natural level (starting point) is and the more
levels of lift you are targeting, the greater the proportion of counteracting or control
color you will need.

1. Section hair into quadrants.

2. Start at the darkest part and apply color to the new regrowth (avoiding the fine
lanugo hair).

3. Process 30 minutes for deposit colors and 45 minutes for the HighLift Series. With 10
to 20 minutes remaining, apply the color to the fine lanugo hair around the hairline.

4. If Colorance is not available for Color Balancing*, use target color mixed with 10 volume
Topchic Lotion and start application for the last 1015 minutes. Dampen the ends with
water before applying. (Note: for full development of the pigments, this formula should
be mixed 1015 minutes in advance to allow 30 minutes of processing time).

5. After processing, add water and work color into a lather. Working the color around
the hairline will help prevent staining of the skin.

6. Rinse thoroughly.

7.  Shampoo with Goldwell DualSenses Fade Stop shampoo for color-treated hair. Rinse
thoroughly and lightly towel blot.

8. Apply Goldwell DualSenses Detangling conditioner specifically for color-treated hair.


Follow with DualSenses Color Lock serum. A Goldwell leave in conditioner for color-
treated hair is recommended.

9. Rinse, dry and style (no rinsing necessary if a leave-in conditioner is used).

* Colorance Color Balancing is the recommended procedure for refreshing the mid-lengths and ends when retouching
(See Chapter 14).

CHAP 8 | GREY HAIR 45

GREY HAIR
There is an old myth that grey hair is void of pigments; however, when grey hair is
studied more closely, you will find that pigment is present. In fact, all three primary
colors exist, but in very minimal proportions. Many times one of the primary colors
dominates. For example in silver-grey, blue would be the dominating primary color
and in the case of yellow-grey, yellow dominates.
To optimally cover grey hair, a combination of three primary colors is needed.
Goldwell has formulated the N-Series with the proper combination of the three
primary colors for each level. This ensures coverage of grey, yet leaves the hair
with a more natural tone.
While the N-Series can be used alone, it is specifically formulated as a tool for
grey coverage and ideally should be mixed with a fashion tone to achieve a more
desirable target color. Follow the guide below for proper mixing proportions.

CHAP 8 | GREY HAIR 46

GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM GREY COVERAGE


Use N or NA-Series at the target level for optimum grey coverage. 9N and 9NA are the lightest
N shades that will cover grey. Therefore when targeting a Level 10, use 9N or 9NA for the grey
portion of the formula.
When hair is oily or has heavy styling products on it (pomades, firm holding sprays, glazes, etc.)
cleanse first with a DualSenses Fade Stop Shampoo and dry on cool setting before application. For
optimum coverage use a brush application working across or against the hair shaft.
If grey hair is resistant or for isolated spots and/or streaks of grey, refer to special
procedures for grey hair on next page. When using the HighLift Series and grey coverage
is needed, refer to Chapter 9 for special instructions.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR RESISTANT GREY HAIR

RESISTANT GREY NN SERIES


Use the NN Series on resistant grey hair which is scattered within a section or throughout the
head. Certain hair types are so resistant that the normal application of color will not optimally
cover grey. In this situation, your formula choices not need to change; Simply replace the
existing N shade, or a portion of, with the NN shade on the same level. This will give a higher
pigment concentration and therefore better grey coverage. A higher pigment concentration
may cause the end result to appear slightly darker. An explanation should be given to the
client ahead of time that this is needed for optimal grey coverage on resistant hair types.

PRE-SOFTENING FOR GREY STREAKS


Normally when streaks or spots of grey are present on predominantly natural hair, these areas
will remain lighter in the finished results.
If a streak is favorably placed as an accent, you may choose to use it and apply according
to your normal procedures. However, in many cases, clients prefer to have the streaks covered.
Doing so requires a special procedure which is called pre-softening. Pre-softening does not
always mean the grey hair is resistant.
The purpose of this procedure is to minimize the contrast between the grey streak and the
pigmented hair. The procedure premises the streak with additional pigment before the color
formula is applied, for a more even end result.

PRE-SOFTENING APPLICATION

1. Mix 10mL distilled water.

2. 10mL N-Series (at target level).

3. Apply to grey streak or spot (brush application) and process 5 minutes.

4. After 5 minutes, towel blot and apply Topchic color mixture to streak area first.

5. Apply color mixture throughout and begin processing. Process hair for 30 minutes,
then follow standard shampooing, rinsing and conditioning procedures.

TOPCHIC
2 + 1 HIGHLIFT
As we study the lighter levels of hair color, it is important to realize that the lighter the level,
the less pigment concentration there is. This is true with natural hair color as well as levels
of color in a color system. Level 10 is the lightest level in the Goldwell Color System.
The 2+1 HiBlonde 11-Series is not lighter than Level 10. In fact, it is not a level at all.
The HighLift Series is specially formulated to produce maximum lift and control in a
single process.
Using high volumes of peroxide with light levels of color leaves very little color deposit
or control after lifting. Goldlwell recognized this challenge in hair color and developed the
HighLift Series which is to give maximum control while lifting. The HighLift Series contains
23 times the pigment intensity of the Level 10 shades, increasing the amount of deposit
during the lift and achieving the desired result. Because of this high intensity deposit, it is
important that the HighLift Series is mixed in a 2:1 ratio: 2 parts Topchic Lotion to 1 part
HighLift Series. The Highlift series should only be used with 30 and 40 volume Topchic
Lotion and is never used as a toner on pre-lightened hair.

Processes for 45 minutes room temperature, 30 min with heat(open air system only no
hood dryers).
Contains 2 to 3 times as many pigments as a Level 10. This ensures optimum control of
gold while using high volumes of Topchic Lotion.
The HighLift Series shades are not target colors.
The letter does not represent the base tone.
Level 6* is the darkest natural level (starting point) that can optimally be controlled in
a one-step lifting process with the HighLift Series. 11V* or 11A* may be used on level 5.
Anything darker requires pre-lightening if a natural blonde result is desired.
Do not use the HighLift Series as toners on bleached hair.
The HighLift Series should not be pulled through on previously lightened hair due
to the intense controlling ability. Colorance Color Balancing is the recommended
procedure for refreshing the mid-lengths and ends (See Chapter 14).

* Remember, when choosing Highlift does not lift tint!

GREY COVERAGE AND THE 2+ 1 HIBLONDE CONTROL 11-SERIES


The area of HighLift blonding while covering grey hair is a very specialized area, due to
the contrast in natural tones. The dark hair is in need of 2 to 4 levels of lift while the grey
hair is in need of a considerable amount of deposit for covering or pigmentizing the
grey. Occasionally, 9N is needed to achieve grey coverage in a HighLift formulation. Also,
remember that 9N is the lightest N for grey coverage.

Goldwells Dust-Free Oxycur Platin is a high quality, conditioning
decolorizer. Oxycur Platin contains blue-violet pigment which helps
control unwanted gold while lightening and therefore will lift to a pale
yellow. Oxycur Platin stays moist and does not swell while processing.
Because Oxycur Platin has a moderate alkaline pH and is low
in ammonia, it is a versatile on or off scalp lightener. Maximum
use is up to 20 volume Topchic Lotion on the scalp and up to 30
volume Topchic Lotion off the scalp. To ensure maximum control
and minimal stress to hair and to avoid scalp irritation. 40 volume
Topchic Lotion is not to be used with Oxycur Platin. Do not use

DOUBLE PROCESS BLONDING


Double process blonding is a process in which most of the natural hair color pigments
are removed using SilkLift or Oxycur Platin, followed by a toner with the appropriate
blonde shade 9 or 10 Level Topchic, mixed with 10 volume Topchic Lotion.
Double process lightening is necessary when the existing level is darker than a 6, and
4 or more levels of lift is desired. It is also necessary when a pastel 9 or 10 level result is
desired, regardless of starting level.
Toning on pre-lightened hair is easy with Goldwell using 10 volume Topchic Lotion
and any Topchic or Colorance Demi-Permanent shade at the 9 or 10 Level. There is no
additional investment or inventory for specialty toning products. Topchic offers unlimited
toning options when intermixed.

DECOLORIZING OR CORRECTIVE SHAMPOO


For use when lightening previously colored hair.
Peroxide only lifts natural pigments, not artificial (tint) pigments, therefore a lightening
shampoo is needed to remove tint. Use the following formula to remove the tint. The
hair will remain in good condition for any additional color treatment. A preliminary test
strand is highly recommended when tone varies on lengths of hair or when porosity
varies as in longer hair.

30 mL 20 vol. Topchic Lotion or SilkLift Cream Developer.


30 mL distilled water.
1 level scoop Oxycur Platin/Oxycur Platin Ultra or SilkLift Strong/Gentle.
5 mL DualSenses Rich Repair Shampoo.
15 mL DualSenses Conditioner for Color Treated hair.

PROCEDURE:

1. Apply quickly and accurately to tinted hair, starting on the darkest or slowest lifting areas.

2. Process until hair has lightened to one level lighter than your target color. This ensures
accuracy and control when toning. (There is not a designated processing time for a
decolorizing or corrective shampoo. The timing varies depending upon required
levels of lift, depth, starting level and porosity).

3. W
 hen desired lightness is achieved, rinse and neutralize the decolorizing shampoo
with DualSenses Rich Repair Cream shampoo.

4. Condition with DualSenses Rich Repair Anti-Breakage conditioner.

5. Follow up with DualSenses Rich Repair Color Lock Serum and 6 Effects Serum.

6. Dry or towel dry hair and continue with Topchic or Colorance service.

7.  Upon completion of processing for Topchic, shampoo, and post condition. Upon
completion of processing for Colorance, rinse only and post condition.

Note: When necessary, the decolorizing or corrective shampoo may be intensified by


reducing the amount of distilled water, increasing the volume of Topchic Lotion and/or
by substituting Blonding Cream for a portion of the distilled water.

PRE-PIGMENTATION
OR FILLING

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


CHAP 12 | PRE-PIGMENTATION OR FILLING 68

PRE-PIGMENTATION
0R FILLING
PRE-PIGMENTATION OR FILLING IS A COLORING TECHNIQUE DESIGNED
TO REPLACE THE MISSING COLOR PIGMENTS OF THE TARGET LEVEL.

Pre-Pigmentation can be done either before or after a coloration procedure. It is


necessary when:
Doing a tint-back procedure (taking hair more than 2 levels darker than existing color).
Ends have become too dull and lack vibrancy and richness.
Porous hair has poor color durability.

With target shades 2N, 2A, 3N and 4N/NN Pre-Pigmentation is not required. It could
lead to unwanted warm/red results.

Target shade: If service is Topchic, then Pre-Pigmentation with Topchic or Colorance.


Target shade: If service is Colorance, then Pre-Pigmentation with Colorance.

TOPCHIC TINT-BACK
Tint-backs utilize Topchic color or Pre-pigmentation shade (*see the following chart) at
the appropriate level and tone, along with distilled water. This method delivers a more
durable end result because the filler becomes a permanent part of the hair color.

CHAP 12 | PRE-PIGMENTATION OR FILLING 69

PRE-PIGMENTATION MIXTURE

MIXING AND APPLICATION


Choose target shade in the grid and select recommended shade for Pre-Pigmentation.

Quickly and accurately apply to areas of the hair which require pigmentation. Work
in well and lightly towel blot excess. Immediately mix 10 volume Topchic Lotion with
Topchic formula (target color) using the standard 1:1 ratio.

1. Apply Topchic formula directly over filler and work with hands for 5 minutes.

2. Process 20 minutes.

3. Work Topchic and filler together for an additional 5 minutes.

4. Rinse with tepid water.

5. Shampoo with DualSenses Rich Repair Cream shampoo.

6. Condition with DualSenses Rich Repair Anti-Breakage conditioner.

7. Follow up with DualSenses Rich Repair Color Lock Serum and 6 Effects Serum.

In addition to the shade selection chart on the previous page, Colorance Clear is also
available. Colorance Clear is a gentle, color-free protein conditioning treatment that
works together with Colorance Lotion. It is mixed in a 2:1 ratio. It may be used in the
following ways:
As a shine and condition treatment for any client.
To enhance shine and vibrancy of fresh highlights, when the tone is ideal.
Following every perm for added shine and condition (not recommended with
MaxReds, Cover Plus or Express Toning shades).
As part of a standard Colorance color mixture, to soften the color.
To neutralize the yellow tones of grey hair when mixed with controlling shades.

TIPS FOR COLORANCE


Colorance cannot lighten and will not activate underlying pigments. Colorance Core
and Express Toning should always be mixed in an applicator bottle. The shaking action
creates optimum emulsion and viscosity.
For optimum results on grey hair, use the applicator brush attachment for the
Colorance depot applicator bottle. If the grey percentage exceeds 30% and the target
color is a fashion tone, you may add 510mL of the N Series (same level as target color).
For complete grey coverage, Topchic permanent alkaline hair color is recommended.
Always measure Colorance Lotion first, then dispense Colorance shade. Colorance
must only be mixed with Colorance Lotion.
When treating long hair with porous or faded ends, lightly spray DualSenses
Structure Equalizer Spray on the ends before treating the scalp area. This allows for
an even color result.
As part of the Goldwell Color Continuum, the levels and tones of Colorance are
part of the Master Palette of color, so you will always get the base tone you expect
no matter which Goldwell color product you choose. All Colorance shades can be
intermixed Colorance will last up to 46 weeks, based on hairs porosity. As with all hair
color products, a patch test is required.

ELUMEN RETURN
Elumen Hair Color remover.
Designed to tone down or reduce the Elumen color.
Works without oxidizing and reducing agents.
The degree by which the color intensity can be removed
depends largely on the structure of the hair and the vibrancy
of the color.

APPLICATION:

1. Evenly apply Elumen Return to dry, clean hair.

2. For the highest degree of removal, process under heat for 30 minutes.

3. Rinse the hair thoroughly, then shampoo (wear gloves).

ELUMEN CLEAN

Elumen Color.

APPLICATION:

1. Apply on cotton pad.

2. Apply onto the stain on the skin for 30 seconds and wipe off.

Tips and Hints


Use Prepare following a bleaching process.
Browns in Elumen are made up of a mixture of violet and orange
Elumen dyes. This explains why if you put a shade outside its
recommended level it can appear violet on porous areas.
When using Elumen on relaxed or permed hair, you may experience
certain shades going darker on the ends due to the charges being
uneven in the hair structure. The best thing to do is formulate 1 level
lighter. If the color goes too dark, apply Return to those areas for 35
minutes, then rinse. Not recommended to use Elumen same day on a
relaxer or permed hair.
On porous hair even, Elumen can be applied twice to achieve intensive
result. There is no need to Lock until after the 2nd application.
You can apply Elumen on towel dried hair when toning. All other
Elumen services should be applied to 100% dry hair.
Wait 5 months to use Elumen after a Keratin Smoothing Treatment.

TROUBLESHOOTING 107

TROUBLESHOOTING
Below is a quick reference guide for common coloring problems. Each topic is
individually addressed, with a list of factors which may have led to the result.

1. INSUFFICIENT GREY COVERAGE:


The proper N, NA or NN-Series was not included in the formula.
Not enough N, NA or NN-Series was added (see Chapter 8).
The shade selected was too light, resulting in lighter new-growth.
Brush application was not used.
Hair had deposits of sprays, styling products, cosmetics, etc, and clarifying shampoo
was not used prior to service.
Over-deposit of color on ends, causing new growth to appear lighter.
Processing time was shortened (required time = 30 minutes room temperature).
20 minutes with heat.
NN Series was not used.
Pre-softening application was not used on a grey streak or spot.
Uneven application of product or not enough product was used (applied too thinly).

2. THE COLOR RESULT FADED QUICKLY


Chemical overlap from repeated applications or pulling through of alkaline tint
mixture to previously tinted hair caused unnecessary porosity. To eliminate this
problem, color balance with Colorance.
Proper post-color treatment was not used after the color service (use Goldwell Fade
Stop shampoo and conditioner, or color finish serum).
Proper home maintenance regimen was not used between color visits. Recommend
a Goldwell shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair and when appropriate,
Soft Color. Hair required filling before color application due to porosity of mid-
lengths and ends.
Developer used was not Goldwell Developer Lotions.

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


TROUBLESHOOTING 108

3. THE TINT RESULT WAS TOO LIGHT


Existing level was incorrectly analyzed.
The shade chosen was too light.
Volume of Topchic Lotion used was too high.
Topchic color and Topchic Lotion were not mixed in 1:1 proportions
(more Topchic Lotion was used).

4. THE COLOR RESULT WAS TOO DARK


The shade chosen was too dark.
Volume of Topchic Lotion used was too low.
Topchic color was dispensed before Topchic Lotion, resulting in an
inaccurate mixture that did not contain enough Lotion.
Topchic color and Topchic Lotion were not mixed 1:1 (less Lotion
and more color was used).

5. NEW GROWTH REMAINED TOO GOLD WHEN LIGHTENING


The shade chosen did not have enough controlling quality.
The natural color was too dark to lift in a single process HighLift tint.
The mid-lengths were too drab, making the new growth appear more gold.
The processing time was shorter than the 45 minutes required for the HighLift Series.

6. NEW GROWTH BECAME TOO DRAB WHEN LIGHTENING


The shade chosen was too drab for the natural base level.
The color was applied to the lanugo hair too early in the processing time.
The grey hairline spot or streak needed to be pre-pigmented with the N Series
and distilled water.

7. THE FASHION SHADE BECAME TOO BRIGHT ON THE


NEW GROWTH
N-Series shade should have been added to the formula if grey was present.
Volume of Topchic Lotion used was too high.
Fashion shade selected was too light or bright.
Color was applied to the new growth too early.

HOME CONTENTS TROUBLESHOOTING GLOSSARY EDUCATION SUPPORT


TROUBLESHOOTING 109

8. THE ENDS BECAME TOO DARK


Colorance or the tint mixture was applied to the ends too soon, causing
over deposit on pre-existing porosity or color.
Color mixture was too cool or drab.
N, NN, or NA Series in formula was applied to the previously tinted ends.
Apply Structure Equalizer Spray for even color uptake.

9. THE ENDS STAYED TOO LIGHT


Colorance or the tint mixture was applied to the ends too late.
The ends required filling.
The ends were so extremely porous that the color pigment did not hold. Post fill with Soft Color.

10. THE ENDS BECAME TOO DRAB WHEN LIGHTENING WITH THE
HIGHLIFT SERIES
The HighLift tint was mixed with a high volume of Topchic Lotion for use only on the dark
new growth (where control was needed), and then was applied to or pulled through the
already lightened ends. To balance the ends when blonding, Color Balance with Colorance
or apply Colorance Soft Color for best results.

11. STAINING ON THE SKIN


The tint was not worked into a lather before final shampooing.
Skin was extremely dry and color stained the hardened keratin.

12. SKIN SENSITIVITY


Skin was too dry and chapped.
Hair and scalp were vigorously massaged when shampooed prior to tint application.
Gentle cleansing is critical.
Improper ratio of Topchic color and Topchic Lotion was used (too much color,
less developer).
Topchic Lotion and Topchic color were not mixed thoroughly.
The scalp had minor irritations prior to the tint application.
The proper post color treatments were not used.
Tint other than Topchic was used with Topchic Lotion.
Vigorous brushing.
Skin sensitivity test was not given 48 hours in advance.
