Task 1: Learn the Theory Behind Colouring

Before starting a colouring service, it is important to know the theory behind colouring. This will help you to choose suitable colours and techniques and perform a professional service.

Colour report

I would like you to find out about the basics of colour theory, hair pigmentation and colouring products and use this knowledge to complete the Colour report. Click on the document icon to the right to download this report and save it to your drive.

To help you complete part one of the report, try answering some questions about basic colour theory (Activity 1). Answering questions and summarising different hair colour types (Activity 2) will enable you to complete the second part of the report.
