How to use
- Mix 60 ml of colour cream with 90 ml of NIKA Activator (1:1.5): 20 vol for grey coverage, 30 vol for a brighter shade and greater lift.
- On natural hair, distribute evenly on mid-lengths and ends and process for 15 minutes, then apply to the roots for a further 30 minutes.
- On previously coloured hair, apply only to the regrowth and process for 30 minutes, then lightly dampen and emulsify through mid-lengths and ends for the last 5-10 minutes.
- Add a small amount of lukewarm water and gently massage to emulsify the colour for an even, radiant finish.
- Rinse until the water runs clear, then wash with a colour-safe shampoo to seal the colour.
Results and expectations
A cool, balanced light ash blonde that neutralises yellow tones for a natural, brassy-free result, with full grey coverage at 20 vol. The ammonia-free formula with avocado oil, blueberry extract and pecan protein helps keep the fibre soft and shiny. As a permanent colour it grows out at the roots: plan a touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks.
