Cosmetology terms for hair

Hair coloring techniques

The terms relating to hair coloring include “highlighting on foil”, “bright highlighting”, “dark highlighting” and “coloring strands”.

Highlighting on the foil is a technique of coloring hair strands separated by pieces of foil. Light highlighting is to lighten dark hair, and dark highlighting, on the contrary, adds a dark shade to blond hair.

When coloring the strands, the stylist will create a real work of art on your head, lightening the individual strands of hair, the size and location of which are determined by the desired effect.

Types of hair colors

Hair dyes are permanent, semi-permanent and washable. Permanent dye penetrates into the hair shaft and remains there until the hair grows and is cut off, or painted in a different color.

Olive-permanent hair dye lasts about 6-8 weeks, depending on the frequency of washing the hair with shampoo, gradually washing off. The flushing paint is applied after you have washed your hair and remains until the next hair wash.

Chemical procedures

In addition to hair coloring, other procedures, including the use of chemicals, are perm and straighten hair. Permanent perm makes straight hair curly. The number and size of curls depends on the type of curlers used by the stylist. The process of hair straightening consists in applying chemical preparations to the hair, similar to those used in curling, but in this case they serve to straighten curly or curly hair by nature.

Scalp condition

Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and seborrhea - these are skin diseases, including the scalp, in which the skin dries, reddens, itches, and sometimes swells and hurts. Dandruff is a condition of the scalp when it peels off, and dead skin cells form white flakes. Skin diseases (psoriasis, seborrhea, dermatitis, eczema), as well as dry skin, too frequent or too rare hair washing and allergies can also cause dandruff.

Hair loss

Alopecia - It is a disease characterized by hair loss or alopecia. It can be inherited (androgenic alopecia) or it can be caused by a disease or problems of the immune system (alopecia areata).

Androgenic alopecia causes plains in both men and women, hair thinning and complete hair loss, and this is an irreversible process. In case of focal alopecia, hair falls out in separate areas, and it can be limited only to the scalp of the head or other parts of the body.

Usually, this type of alopecia is treated with corticosteroids, and the effects are not permanent.
