The video explains color levels and tones in hair, with the goal of helping viewers understand what color is achievable with their hair type and color. The speaker, a blonde specialist, uses a color level chart to illustrate the range of colors, from black (level 1) to blonde (level 10). She explains that level refers to how light or dark the hair is, while tone refers to the color's undertones, such as gold, ash, or red.
The speaker emphasizes that to achieve certain colors, particularly ash tones, the hair needs to be lightened to a certain level, and that bleaching is often necessary. She also stresses the importance of healthy hair in achieving the desired color, as damaged or brittle hair can limit the range of colors that can be achieved.
The video also touches on the role of a color specialist in creating custom colors and the challenges of working with damaged hair. The speaker recommends using good healing hair products at home, specifically mentioning the Ammonite system, to help repair and prepare the hair for coloring.
Ultimately, the video aims to educate viewers on the basics of color theory and help them understand what is possible with their hair, while also emphasizing the importance of hair health in achieving their desired color.
