I am a little confused by your terminology...

When coloring your hair, the color is mixed with a developer. Developers come in different strengths, or "volumes". Typically, the higher the volume, the greater the color lifting power. 10 volume is for deposit only.

The developer penetrates the hair shaft by lifting the hair cuticle, and when mixed with either color or bleach, it changes the natural pigment of the hair by either removing melanin, or depositing color molecules in the hair cortex. The resulting tone is due to chemical changes within the hair.

I hope this answer helps.

Good luck,

What happens in each indivdual hair shaft when an aniline derivative tint is mixed with hydrogen peroxide?

When an aniline derivative tint is mixed with hydrogen peroxide, the tint penetrates the hair shaft and swells the cuticle to allow the dye molecules to enter. The hydrogen peroxide then oxidizes the dye molecules, creating a chemical reaction that changes the hair color. This process permanently alters the hair color by depositing new pigment molecules within the hair shaft.


How does hydrogen peroxide change hair color?

Hydrogen peroxide acts as a bleach by breaking down the natural pigment in hair, resulting in a lighter color. It works by oxidizing the melanin pigments in the hair shaft. The longer the hydrogen peroxide is left on the hair, the more it will lighten the color.


Will hydrogen peroxide open the hair shaft to increase hair dyeing effectiveness?

First, hydrogen peroxide you buy at the store is damaging for your hair. Second ,it is not the same as peroxide developer in hair dyes. Third, opening the hair shaft will make your color fade faster. Plus it could change the color of the dye you are putting on. The question was true. Yes hydrogen peroxide opens the cuticle of the hair to allow the dye to penetrate it. Peroxide is an alkaline substance with a base of about 9. It opens the cuticle so that the colour can be deposited in the hair. If you didn't use peroxide your colour wouldn't last long.


Why hydrogen peroxide used as hair dye?

Hydrogen peroxide is used in hair dye to help open the hair cuticle and allow the dye molecules to penetrate the hair shaft. It also acts as a bleaching agent, helping to lighten the hair color. Additionally, it provides a longer-lasting and more permanent color result.


Does peroxide bleach effectively lighten hair color?

Yes, peroxide bleach can effectively lighten hair color by breaking down the natural pigments in the hair shaft.


How does hydrogen peroxide affect human hair?

Hydrogen peroxide goes through the cuticle (colourless outside layer of the hair) and into the cortex (inside of the hair, has colour) and causes a reaction like an explosion and the colour breaks down and comes out of the hair.


Effect of hydrogen peroxide on hair?

Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used as a hair bleach to lighten hair color. It works by breaking down the natural pigment in the hair shaft. However, it can also cause damage to the hair cuticle and lead to dryness, breakage, and overall weakening of the hair strands if used improperly or too frequently. Users should exercise caution and follow instructions carefully when using hydrogen peroxide on their hair.


Is bleaching hair chemical or physical?

Bleaching hair is a chemical process. It involves the use of chemical compounds, like hydrogen peroxide, to break down and remove the natural pigment in the hair shaft. This changes the hair color by lightening it.


How does hydrogen peroxide work to bleach hair?

Bleach is used to lighten hair. wtf http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howthingswork/a/aa101203a.htm -------------------- Bleach (usually hydrogen peroxide) mixed with ammonia, will open the shaft of the hair. The bleach will oxidize the melanin (there are two types; eumelanin and pheomelanin) and the hair will become a yellowish color (this is because it is the natural color of keratin) -do some basic research on keratin and the different types of melanin to understand why some people get that reddish/orange colour ------------------- I just want to say, bleach and ammonia mixed together, will kill you. The fumes are horrible and you will not walk out of the bathroom. NEVER MIX THEM!


How oxidation agents effect the natural pigment of the hair?

Oxidizing agents, like hydrogen peroxide, penetrate the hair shaft and break down the natural pigment molecules in the hair. This process removes the existing color from the hair and allows the new artificial color to penetrate and deposit. The strength and concentration of the oxidizing agent determine how much of the natural pigment is removed and how light the hair will become.


What is the chemistry of hair highlights?

in order to know, that depends on you. you can't just say that. tou need to narrow it down. eg: the chemistry of hair hilights: does h2o2 change the color of human hair: dow does h2o2 change the color of human hair.


What chemicals change your hair color and how do they do it?

Chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and ammonia are commonly used in hair dyes to lighten the hair and open up the cuticle, allowing color molecules to penetrate. Pigment molecules in the dye then react with the natural melanin in the hair to create a new color. Semi-permanent dyes typically deposit color onto the hair shaft, while permanent dyes alter the hair's natural pigment.
