Description

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.
