How to Choose a Hair Color Level

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Liz Muller, from Liz's Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida, and today we're showing you how to do color on relaxed hair. After I've spoken to the customer and I've analyzed her hair and looked at it. What I want to do now is find out the level of color. So I'm going to take it up like this into her root. I'm going to take a nice amount and just bend it towards the light and look at it. This customer seems not to have a lot of pigmentation in the hair left. Seems to me that she has more gray in there than anything. She has very little of her natural color. I know, for a fact, that this customer long time ago - when she was younger. She was a level two. There is some level two in there, but it's so minimum. I would more concentrate right here on the gray coverage using a very low volume of developer. So now that I've looked right here, I'm going to go ahead a get a swatch and measure up the color that more or less she wants in her hair."
