"What is a hair color molecule"?

from "Guru In Your Ear" · host Dennis Gebhart

Hello, my friends! Dennis Gebhart here, and welcome to this episode of Guru in Your Ear.Today, we’re going to take a deep dive into a topic that seems simple, but is often misunderstood, even by experienced professionals: What exactly is a permanent hair color molecule?Now, I know you’ve probably heard a lot of statements like:“The blue dye molecule is the largest of the three, blue, red, and yellow”“You must have equal parts of all three primaries to have a balanced color”“The blue molecule leaves the hair first, then red, then yellow”And on, and on, and on!But what if I told you… a permanent color molecule doesn’t even exist, at least, not until it develops inside the hair?That’s right, it’s not a pre-made pigment, it’s something that forms.And understanding how and when that happens changes the way we approach color formulation, retouching, and refreshing.Subscription link : https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dennis-gebhart/subscribeEmail Guru In Your Ear : [email protected] Nation Newsletter request :  [email protected] connected with Guru Nation:Website: www.gurunation.net Instagram:@realcaptaincolorTikTok@realcaptaincolorLinktree: linktr.ee/realcaptaincolor
