Grace Color 1B Blue Black
Grace Color 1B Blue Black is an ammonia-free permanent cream colour: a deep, intense black with cool blue reflections that emerge in the light. It delivers full grey coverage with a uniform, luminous result. The signature blue depth comes from Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate working with 2,4-Diaminophenoxyethanol HCl. The colour is always mixed with developer (NIKA Grace Activator) before application and is intended for professional application.

How to use
- Mix at a ratio of 1:1.5, combining 50 ml of colour cream with 75 ml of activator at the appropriate volume for your needs.
- First application on virgin hair: distribute the mixture evenly through the mid-lengths and ends and leave on for 15 minutes.
- Then apply the colour to the roots and let it develop for another 30 minutes, ensuring full coverage.
- Previously coloured hair: apply the mixture to the regrowth area and process for 30 minutes. To refresh the lengths, gently wet the hair and emulsify the colour for an additional 5-10 minutes at the end of the processing time.
- Once processing is complete, add a small amount of lukewarm water and gently massage to emulsify the colour.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, then cleanse with a shampoo for coloured hair and apply a hydrating conditioner or nourishing mask to seal the colour.
Results and expectations
Expect a deep, brilliant black with cool blue reflections that emerge under the light, with 100% grey coverage and an even, silky finish. As a permanent oxidative colour the result is long-lasting; visible regrowth typically appears after about 4-6 weeks, when a root touch-up keeps the depth uniform. Dark shades benefit from gentle, colour-safe washing to preserve their reflect.
What you need with it
This colour must be mixed with a developer: pair it with NIKA Grace Activator. To keep the blue-black brilliant and prevent fade between services, support it with INEJ Color Protect Shampoo and INEJ Color Protect Mask. Professional colour in stock with fast, signed delivery across Switzerland.
