terminology
On this page, I will use the terms taught to me in my Cosmetology class. Most of the time, I will also state what the popular name for it is, but here is a list with short definitions to help clear up confusion!
- Lightening: Also known as bleaching. This is where you use lightener (bleach) on your hair to make it lighter. Do NOT need to be done on virgin hair!
- Virgin hair: hair that doesn’t have any color (dye) in it/hair that has never been colored/dyed/lightened/bleached before. Your natural hair :)
- Coloring: Also known as dyeing. When you change your hair color, mostly used for going darker.
That’s all I can think of for now that will be used the most. Please check back often to see if I’ve updated!
