Understanding the Colour Wheel
The colour wheel is an important tool for hairdressers. It helps us understand the relationships between colours and how they work together.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Show the colour wheel and explain the primary, secondary and tertiary colours. Ask the students to name some colours that fall into each category.
Primary and Secondary Tones
Primary tones are the main colours that make up the colour wheel – red, yellow and blue. Secondary tones are created by mixing two primary colours together.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Ask the students to name the three primary colours and the three secondary colours. Show them examples of each colour and ask them to identify whether it is a primary or secondary tone.
Warm and Cool Tones
Warm tones are colours such as reds, oranges and yellows. Cool tones are colours such as blues, greens and purples.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Explain to the students that warm tones tend to be more vibrant and lively, while cool tones are more calming and soothing. Show them examples of each colour and ask them to identify whether it is a warm or cool tone.
Complimentary Colours
Complimentary colours are the colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel. When used together, they create a high contrast and can make each other appear brighter.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Show the students examples of complimentary colours and ask them to name some other complimentary pairs. Explain that using complimentary colours can create a bold and eye-catching look.
Mixing Ratios
Mixing ratios are an important part of colour selection. They determine the strength and depth of the colour.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Explain to the students that mixing ratios are the proportion of colour to developer used. Show them examples of different mixing ratios and ask them to identify which would create a lighter or darker shade.
Choosing the Right Shade
When choosing a hair colour, it's important to take into consideration skin tone, eye colour and natural hair colour.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Explain to the students that choosing the right shade can enhance a person's natural features and make them look more vibrant. Show them examples of different hair colours on different skin tones.
Natural vs Chemical Colour
There are two types of hair colour – natural and chemical. Natural hair colour comes from genetics and can be enhanced with natural dyes. Chemical hair colour is applied with a chemical mixture.

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Explain to the students the difference between natural and chemical hair colour. Show them examples of both and ask them to identify which is which.
Patch Testing
Patch testing is an important step before applying hair colour. It helps to identify any allergies or sensitivities to the product.

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Explain to the students the importance of patch testing and how to do it. Show them examples of patch testing and ask them to identify the purpose of the test.
Application Techniques
There are different application techniques for hair colour, such as highlighting, balayage and ombre.

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Explain to the students the different application techniques and show them examples of each. Ask them to identify which technique would be best for different hair types and styles.
Maintenance and Aftercare
Maintaining hair colour is important to keep it looking fresh and vibrant. Using the right products and avoiding heat can help to prolong the life of the colour.
