Description
NIKA Activators: The essential choice for impeccable technical results and hair protection. Designed for the most demanding professionals, this oxidizing cream offers a complete range of solutions for coloring and lightening, delivering uniform and brilliant results. Its advanced formulation protects the hair structure even during the most intense treatments.
Why choose this product: NIKA Activators are crafted to meet the needs of hairdressers looking for a highly versatile and high-performing product. Not only are they perfect for progressive lightening treatments, but they are also indispensable for mixing with permanent and semi-permanent colors, ensuring perfect oxidation and even color development. They are particularly recommended for use with the Nika Grace and Nika Reflection color ranges, delivering maximum synergy and exceptional results in terms of brilliance, longevity, and intensity.
Technical characteristics:
- 5 Volumes (1.5%): Perfect for delicate toning on sensitized or chemically treated hair.
- 10 Volumes (3%): Ideal for tone-on-tone coloring and darkening.
- 20 Volumes (6%): Optimal for covering gray hair and lightening by up to 1-2 levels.
- 30 Volumes (9%): Suitable for medium lightening, up to 3 levels.
- 40 Volumes (12%): The choice for intense lightening, up to 4-5 levels.
Key ingredients include Hydrogen Peroxide, essential for developing color and lightening, and Lanolin Alcohol, which helps maintain softness and hydration during the process. Glycerin locks in moisture, while Cetearyl Alcohol ensures a creamy texture for easy and precise application, whether mixed with colors or lighteners.
Benefits: NIKA Activators are the ideal partner for hairdressers seeking technical precision and high-quality results. When mixed with permanent colors, they ensure perfect oxidation, vibrant and long-lasting shades, and even coverage of gray hair. For lightening treatments, they gradually achieve the desired result without over-aggressing the hair structure. The formulation protects and nourishes the hair, leaving it soft and shiny, even after intensive chemical treatments.
Application protocol:
- Choose the appropriate volume based on the desired result:
- 5 Volumes: Ideal for gentle toning and sensitized hair.
- 10 Volumes: Perfect for tone-on-tone coloring or darkening.
- 20 Volumes: Gray coverage and lightening up to 1-2 levels.
- 30 Volumes: Medium lightening up to 3 levels.
- 40 Volumes: Intense lightening up to 4-5 levels.
- Mix thoroughly with the color or lightener according to the indicated ratio (e.g., 1:1, 1:1.5, or 1:2) based on the service required.
- Apply the mixture evenly to dry hair and leave it on for the necessary time (e.g., toning: 20-30 minutes, lightening: 35-45 minutes), visually assessing the result.
- Rinse thoroughly and follow with a moisturizing or sealing post-color treatment to protect the hair fiber and prolong color brilliance.
Usage tips: For maximum intensity and color longevity, use NIKA Activators with the Nika Grace or Nika Reflection color lines, designed to work synergistically with these oxidizing creams. For sensitized or damaged hair, combine lower volumes (5 or 10) with color to reduce treatment aggressiveness and complete the service with a reconstructive treatment to preserve hair health.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know if this product is truly suitable for my hair?
Our product pages are among the most complete in the industry. They include purchase reasons, technical features, real benefits, professional application protocols, usage tips and full ingredient lists. Reading them is like receiving a mini-consultation from a stylist: they connect your needs directly with the ideal result.
Do all formats have the same formula? What actually changes?
It depends on the line. In many cases the formula is identical; in others, the formats may differ in texture, concentration or ingredients, especially when professional and consumer versions exist. Always check the description and ingredients we highlight any differences transparently.
Is it safe to use on coloured, bleached or chemically treated hair?
Yes, in most cases. Professional formulas are developed to work safely on sensitized or stressed hair. If the hair is severely damaged, choose reconstructive or ultra-hydrating products: the product page always indicates this clearly.
Can I combine this product with the ones I already use?
Yes. Our lines work well together and with most professional brands. Keep your treatment goal consistent and follow the recommended protocol. The best-performing results usually come from combining shampoo + treatment + leave-in.
Are the results immediate or do they take time?
Cosmetic effects (softness, shine, smoothness, easier detangling) are often visible immediately. Structural improvements require consistency and several consecutive applications. Our product pages always specify the optimal frequency.
Is the subscription worth it? How does it work?
Yes, especially if you use the product regularly. The subscription offers automatic discounts, recurring deliveries and full flexibility: skip, modify or cancel anytime. It’s ideal for both professionals and customers who follow a stable routine.
I’m a professional: can I access special conditions?
Yes. With your personal Business Code, you unlock professional pricing and exclusive benefits. You’ll find the option in the Are you a Professional? section on the product page. If you don’t have one yet, you can request it instantly your account converts to a Pro profile automatically.
