Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to identify different types of hair developers, compare and contrast color and developer using a Venn diagram, and select and mix color and developer based on a hypothetical client's hair condition, length, and desired outcome.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Pencils or markers
• Access to hair color and developer information (books, online resources)
• Venn diagram template (can be drawn on paper)
• Sample scenarios for hair conditions and desired outcomes

Before the lesson, ensure the student has a basic understanding of hair coloring terminology and the role of developer in the coloring process.

Activities

1. Research and Identify Developers: The student will research different types of hair developers (10, 20, 30, and 40 volume) and their specific uses in hair coloring. They will create a chart listing each developer's purpose and when to use it.

2. Venn Diagram Comparison: Using the information from their research, the student will create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast hair color and developer, highlighting similarities and differences.

3. Scenario Mixing Activity: The student will be given several hypothetical client scenarios that include hair condition, length, and desired color outcome. They will choose the appropriate color and developer mix for each scenario and explain their reasoning.

Talking Points

• "Understanding the different types of developers is crucial because each one serves a specific purpose in achieving the desired hair color."
• "In what ways do color and developer work together? Remember, the developer activates the color, so they need to be compatible!"
• "When considering a client's hair condition, what factors should we take into account before selecting a color and developer?"
• "How does the length of the hair affect the amount of color and developer we use? Let's think about how we can adjust our mixtures accordingly."
• "Why is it important to customize the color and developer based on each client's unique needs? Personalization can lead to better results!"
