The cuticle of the skin is a transparent layer, so it does not have a color of its own. The color we see in our skin comes from the underlying layers of the epidermis, blood vessels, and melanin pigments.

What is the acids chemical reaction for hair dying?

In hair dyeing, the acid breaks down the outer cuticle of the hair, allowing the color molecules to penetrate the hair shaft. This reaction involves the acid opening up the hair cuticle, depositing the dye molecules inside the hair, and then sealing the cuticle back up to lock in the color.


Does splat hair dye come out when you wash it?

Splat hair color is not a permanent color it is a semi permanent color over bleached out hair, once the melanin (color) is removed from the hair the hair is very porous meaning it absorbs like a sponge and the cuticle of the hair is open so once you have put a semi permanent over it which just deposits that cuticle is still open leading to the color fading out!

What part of the hair structure does it affect for quasi colours?

Quasi-colors primarily affect the hair's cuticle and cortex. The cuticle, which is the outermost layer of the hair, is where the color molecules enter and deposit, while the cortex, the inner layer, contains the natural pigment (melanin). Quasi-colors typically coat the hair and can penetrate the cuticle to some extent, allowing for a semi-permanent change in color without fully altering the natural pigment. This results in a temporary color effect that can fade over time with washing.


What does the oxidation of hair color do?

When using a permanent hair color, the mixing of two chemicals, peroxide and ammonia with oxygen, creates a chemical reaction called oxidation. Oxidation opens up the cuticle layer of the hair which allows the hair color to lift and deposit color into the hair.
