How to use
- Mix Grace Color 4.5 Mahogany in a 1:1.5 ratio with Nika Activator. Use 20 volumes for optimal coverage and intense reflections, or 30 volumes for greater intensity and brightness.
- Traditional colouring on natural hair: apply the mixture to lengths and ends and leave on for 15 minutes.
- Then apply to the roots and leave on for another 30 minutes.
- Previously coloured hair: apply only to the regrowth for 30 minutes. To even out lengths and ends, lightly dampen the hair, emulsify the colour, and leave on for another 5-10 minutes.
- At the end of the processing time, add a small amount of lukewarm water and gently massage the scalp to emulsify the colour.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear and apply a nourishing conditioner to seal the colour and prolong its duration.
Results and expectations
Expect a rich, warm mahogany brown with luminous, multidimensional depth and total grey coverage. 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. A toning mask or gloss between services helps revive the mahogany reflections over time.
What you need with it
This colour must be mixed with a developer: pair it with Nika Activator in 20 or 30 volumes. To keep the mahogany brilliant and prevent fade between services, support it with INEJ Color Protect Shampoo and INEJ Color Protect Mask.
