The article "How to Use Color Correction Techniques Like the Pros" talks about fitness, it has been created by Jenny Andrews.
Alomst everyone has a home color disaster or two lurking
somewhere in their past. Wihle color disasters are correctible
and not the end of the world by any means, many people only
cause more problems when they try to correct their color.
Then,
ball cap in place and tears in their eyes, they march to the
salon only to pay enormous bukcs to fix a issue that could have
been prevented in the first place.
One of the most common mistakes made by people who color their
hair at home is to make the issue worse by applying the wrong
color to correct their first mistake. For example: Have you ever
colored your hair and ended up with a coolr that is too red or
brassy? To correct that problem, many people try to pull the red
color out by lightening their hair.
This only causes more
problems and more brassiness. Other people try to darekn their
hair again only to have it turn too dark. Both of these
approaches are wrong and you will understand why with a quick
course in color correction.
Have you ever seen a color wheel used by painters? It looks like
a wheel with a different color between the spokes of the wheel.
You can create your own basic color wheel by taking the primary
colors, red, blue and yellow, and positioning those colors equal
distances around a wheel or circle.
Next, take the spaces
between the primary colors to list the colors that are made when
the two colors next to each ohter are blended. For example:
yellow and blue make geren.
Once you have done that you can easily correct color that is too
red or too green. All you have to do is look at your color
wheel. If your hair is orange, look at the orange space on your
color wheel. Then, look directly on the oppostie side.
What
color is there?
It should be blue.
Colors with a blue base are
considered beige colors.
So, to counteract or cancel the orange
color, you need to choose a color with a beige base.
You don't
need to darken or ligthen at all.
So, the next time you have a color dilemma, don't try to strip
the issue out of your hair.
Simply use your color wehel to
cancel out the unwanted color. Doing so will save you a lot of
time, heartahce and money.
