Comprehensive Guide to Permanent Hair Coloring with HueSee

22 August 2024

Permanent hair coloring is an essential technique for providing your clients with long-lasting and vibrant results. HueSee products, developed through Canadian and Italian expertise, are designed to ensure complete coverage and rich color that doesn’t fade easily. In this guide, we will explain how to use our permanent hair colors to achieve professional results every time.

What is Permanent Hair Coloring?

Permanent hair coloring transforms the internal structure of the hair to insert pigments in a lasting manner. Unlike temporary colors, it penetrates deep into the hair fiber, ensuring a color that withstands washing and remains vibrant until the next application. HueSee products offer total coverage of gray hair and allow for bold color changes while preserving hair health.

When to Use Permanent Hair Coloring?

Permanent hair coloring is ideal in the following situations:

  • Gray Hair Coverage: For complete and long-lasting coverage of gray hair.
  • Radical Color Changes: To switch to a significantly different color from the natural hair color. Create personalized and unique colors for each client. Get inspired by our guide on creating custom colors.
  • Long-Lasting: For clients who want a color that remains vibrant and doesn’t fade quickly.
  • Color Uniformity: To even out hair color with tone variations.

Preparation Before Coloring

Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary tools:

  • Gloves
  • Coloring brushes and bowls
  • Scale
  • Clips (for sectioning)
  • Fine-tooth comb
  • HueSee Developer (use 20 volumes for full gray hair coverage). Learn more in our article on different types of developers and their uses.
  • HueSee Permanent Coloring Cream
    Apply HueSee color on dry hair for optimal and consistent results. For very damaged or porous hair, it is recommended to do a moisturizing treatment before coloring to ensure even absorption. Discover our guide on the best pre-color moisturizing treatments.

Applying Permanent Hair Color

1. Mixing Color and Developer

  • Permanent Color: Mix HueSee coloring cream with the developer in a 1:1 ratio. Use a scale to measure exact quantities.
  • For a gentler, more temporary alternative, check out our guide on demi-permanent color using a 1:2 ratio.

2. Application Techniques

  • Divide the hair into sections for uniform application.
  • Start at the roots, then apply color to the tips. Ensure each strand is well saturated for an even result.
  • Use a brush for precise and uniform application.

Processing Time and Rinsing

Processing time generally ranges from 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the desired color intensity and hair type. During this time, regularly check the color development.
Once the processing time is over, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Use a post-color shampoo to remove product residues and stabilize the color.

Color Maintenance

To prolong the color’s longevity, use products specific for colored hair:

  • Shampoo and Conditioner for Colored Hair: Use specially formulated products to protect and prolong color vibrancy.
  • Hydrating Masks: Regularly apply nourishing masks to deeply hydrate and prevent dryness and damage caused by coloring.
  • UV and Thermal Protectors: Apply hair products offering UV and/or thermal protection to minimize damage and maintain color shine and vitality.
  • Dry Shampoo: Use dry shampoo between washes to keep hair fresh and avoid washing out the color too often.
