Creating Hair Color Formulas Using The ChromaSilk Level and Tonal Value Number System
ChromaSilk is segmented into warm and cool color families and utilizes the international 10 level number system (refer to the chart below) The first number of the ChromaSilk Shade number expresses the level or depth of color. When there is only a single digit in the shade number, it indicates the natural family with a neutral, slightly cool-blue tonal base. The second and or third numbers express the combined tonal value of the particular shade The first number after the decimal point represents the primary base tone of the color. If there is a second number following the decimal point, it represents a secondary base tone (accent tone) When there are two numbers after the decimal point, the first number contributes approximately 70% of the accent tone The second number contributes approximately 30% of the accent tone When there is a zero in the shade number it signifies a lighter accent in the specific tonal value of the shade

ChromaSilk Undertone Guide

As we lift and deposit hair color we need to be aware of what tonal base we will reveal and then formulate accordingly to achieve our desired results. Regardless of how we lift (using Pure Light Power Lightener or lifting colors) the hairs natural pigment becomes altered due to the oxidation process. The lifting process always creates warm tones. Determining these warm tones at various levels is predictable and always follows a pre-determined sequence. These tones are commonly referred to as undertones or underlying or contributing pigment. By becoming familiar with the sequence of these tones, one can formulate accurately to either accent or neutralize the warmth created as we lighten the hairs natural color.

ChromaSilk VIVIDS Long Lasting Semi-permanent Colors

ChromaSilk Vivids are formulated to be applied directly to pre-lightened, dry hair to create exciting, vibrant color options. Vivids dyes are direct staining dyes that should be kept off scalp and skin. They may bleed onto other areas of hair that have been prelightened or together if two colors are used on the same head. While Vivids employ direct or semi-permanent dyes, these colors are extremely long-lasting and very difficult to remove from the hair. These colors cannot be removed using Pravanas Artificial Color Extractor.

How Do I Get The Most From ChromaSilk VIVIDS?

ChromaSilk VIVIDS are available in 10 exciting tones: Silver, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Magenta, Violet, Green, Blue, and Wild Orchid. To create radiant colors, it is necessary to pre-lighten the hair. Use Pravana Pure Light Powder Lightener for best results. Mix 1 scoop (1 oz or 30g) of powder with 3 oz (90ml) of 30 or 40 volume developer and process until the desired lightening stage is reached. The guide below will quickly help you to identify the correct level of lift to create the proper base for each ChromaSilk VIVIDS shade. *ChromaSilk VIVIDS are applied to dry hair, off the scalp and WITHOUT MIXING WITH ANY DEVELOPER, process at room temperature for 20 minutes

Pravana Artificial Hair Color Extractor

PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY Directions for Use: - Extracts only artificial oxidationtype hair color without affecting natural hair pigmentation. - Leaves hair conditioned and softly textured - Easy to mix, apply and process - Does not contain ammonia, bleach or formaldehyde WARNING: Protect clothing as ARTIFICIAL HAIR COLOR EXTRACTOR may stain clothing. If there is skin irritation or open sores or wounds, do not apply product. Do not use ARTIFICIAL HAIR COLOR EXTRACTOR to remove metallic colors or henna; to do so may cause hair breakage. Will not remove semi-permanent non-oxidation hair colors such as Pravanas ChromaSilk Vivids. ARTIFICIAL HAIR COLOR EXTRACTOR should not be applied to hair that has been treated with a sodium hydroxide-based relaxer. Perform a strand test before applying to entire head. If the test is positive, proceed with service. Do not apply to eyebrows or eyelashes. If product gets into eyes, rinse with water and immediately seek medical attention. Keep out of reach of children.

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPLETE ARTIFICIAL HAIR COLOR EXTRACTION:

Step 1 - Shampoo hair with SULFATE FREE CLARIFYING SHAMPOO, rinse and towel dry (Recommend using Leave-in Hydrating Spray to detangle)

Step 2- Mix equal parts of the Artificial Hair Color Extractor Part 1 and Part 2 in a nonmetallic mixing bowl.

Step 3- Apply immediately to hair using a bowl and brush application.

Step 4 - Once the hair is thoroughly saturated, place a plastic cap over the hair and process for 20 minutes under a warm hood dryer. (This is the maximum processing time).

Step 5 - Shampoo 2 times from scalp to ends with Pravana Sulfate-Free Clarifying Shampoo using very warm water. For the first shampoo, It is advisable to massage the shampoo into a full lather and place a plastic cap over the hair for 2-3 minutes with very warm water. Rinse thoroughly for at least 3 minutes. Be sure to follow with a thorough second shampooing and rinsing. Important Note: It is vital to strictly follow these shampoo and rinsing instructions. If dye intermediates are not thoroughly shampooed and rinsed from the hair, they may air oxidize and the color may return.

To verify the dyes have been successfully extracted, rinse the hair with a 10-volume developer and let it remain on the hair for 20 seconds. If there are dyes still present in the hair, they will oxidize and become visible. If desired results are not achieved or the color is not completely extracted, rinse with water and repeat steps 1- 5. The Artificial Hair Color Extraction service may be repeated several times to achieve desired results. Three applications are typically recommended to completely remove densely pigmented hair or hair that is very absorbent or commonly referred to as porous due to condition. What you will see after the extractor is complete are undertones of the previous color or highlights of previous lightening.

Step 6 - After final shampoo and test shows all dyes have been removed, rinse and apply the appropriate Pravana Conditioner.

Step 7 If it is desired to color or tone the hair, select a color at least 2 levels lighter than your desired end result to ensure color does not go too dark. MONITOR COLOR TAKE as processing times may vary.

Example: desired tone 6.3, Apply 8.3.

It is also possible to highlight the hair following the extraction service.

The Artificial Hair Color Extractor WILL NOT LIFT the natural hair color, as it is formulated to ONLY remove permanent, oxidative dyes. It will NOT remove VIVIDS, which are direct dyes!
