“The Color Theory Lies Hairdressers Still Believe”

Episode #15

(Standard)

They taught you color theory… but did they teach you how hair color actually works?

In this episode of Guru In Your Ear, Dennis breaks down one of the biggest educational lies still living in the salon world:

Oxidative hair color behaves like paint.

From the myth that brown is just equal parts blue, red, and yellow…to the belief that blue fades first, then red, then yellow…to the dangerous habit of formulating by tone names while ignoring the background inside the shade…this episode challenges some of the most repeated  and most misleading  ideas in modern hair color education.

If you’ve ever had a formula that looked right on paper…but gave you a result that made no sense on the hair…this episode is for you.

Because once you understand the difference between:

·      Tone

·      Background

·      visual authority

·      and oxidative chemistry

…you stop guessing.

And you start hitting.
