Tone
The actual color of hair blonde, brunette, auburn, etc. These colors can range from dark to light depending on the level of the tone.

Sombre
A softer and more natural ombre. Ideal for those of us that want some color without going ombre bold.

Reverse ombre
The opposite of an ombre. A gradual hair color technique that starts with light roots and gradually gets darker. Light on top, dark on bottom.

Porosity
Your stylist determines how porous your hair is by how much color it absorbs. Hair damage can also be determined through its porosity.

Over processed
Chemically damaged hair caused by over-coloring. The results can be dull, frizzy, fried, matted strands of hair and split ends.

Highlights
A lightening effect used on thin or thick strands of hair with a tint that's lighter than the rest of your hair.

Level
The amount of lightness or darkness in the shade or tone of hair color.

Lift
Lightening of the hair gives it lift.

Lowlights
A darkening effect used on thin or thick strands of hair with a tint that's darker than the rest of your hair.

Ombre
A gradual hair lightening technique consisting of darker roots transitioning into lighter tips. Dark on top, light on bottom.

Chalking
A temporary technique of applying colored chalk to the hair. The chalk is temporary as it washes out in the shower. This method should be done professionally for the best and safest results.

Contrast
The difference between one section of hair versus another. Light hair with darker lowlights is low contrast, and dark hair with light highlights is high contrast.

Dimension
Giving hair more than one color gives it natural dimension.

Dull
Hair with little or no shine. This can be fixed with glossing treatments.

Balayage
Highlighting hair by hand rather than with foil or a cap. This gives your stylist more freedom to apply the color and the result is a more natural color.

Brassy
A term for hair that gives off a yellow-orange tint after lightening. This can happen if your hair was a darker shade and you tried lightening in one process, or if you have naturally red or golden undertones that are chemically lightened.
