hair color ratios explained + how to use a scale to weigh color | 2024

1:1 and 1:2 ratios explained, how to mix them up & how to use a scale to accurately weigh hair color at home. *key points: •the manufacturer's directions are located inside the box of hair color, for lightener it is located on the back of the tub or packet •mixing ratios are usually 1:1 or 1:2 •the first number always represents the color or bleach •the colon (:) separates the two numbers •the last number represents the developer amount •a 1:1 ratio is equal parts (1oz of color + 1 oz of developer, 1 scoop of bleach + 1 scoop of developer) it doesn't matter what you are using to measure; it will be equal parts. •a 1:2 ratio is one part color to two parts developer (1 oz of color + 2 oz of developer, 1 scoop of bleach + 2 scoops of developer) •to weigh color/lightener using a scale: turn the scale on place the color bowl on the scale zero out the scale (usually by pressing the "on" button once) now it will only weigh what goes inside the bowl add your color or bleach (for a 1:1 ratio, an example = 1 oz of color) zero out scale again now it will only weigh the developer- (for a 1:1 ratio, an example = 1 oz of developer) mix up color *my other channel: ‪@BrittneeAlexus‬ *timestamps: using a scale: 3:05 *related videos: how to mix hair color:    • how to mix hair color with developer at ho...   toners:    • toners: how to pick, mix & apply a hair co...   hair color theory:    • hair color theory | 2024   *products used: scale: https://amzn.to/3wueqSx website: www.brittneealexushair.com *this video is NOT sponsored; however, the links above are affiliate links, meaning I will earn a small commission when a purchase is made using the provided links.
