Results and expectations
A deep dark brown with mahogany undertones and iridescent violet reflects for a three-dimensional effect, even from roots to ends and full grey coverage at 20 vol. Panthenol, lanolin and hydrolyzed wheat protein help protect the fibre and keep hair soft and manageable. As a permanent colour it grows out at the roots: plan a regrowth touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks.
What you need with it
Always mix with a cream developer such as Oxidizer. To intensify the iridescent reflects you can add a little Pure Pigment 0.22 Violet to the mix. Maintain depth and shine with a colour-safe routine such as INEJ Color Protect Shampoo and INEJ Color Protect Mask. Professional colour in stock with fast, signed delivery across Switzerland.
Safety and patch test
Carry out an allergy alert test 48 hours before each application. This is an oxidative colour for professional use: for major changes, lightening or colour correction, rely on a qualified colourist. Wear gloves, avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply on an irritated scalp.
