How to use
- In a non-metallic bowl, mix 1 part Vibrant Color 5.11 with 1 part developer (1:1), for example 50 ml colour + 50 ml developer: 10 vol to tone or darken bleached hair with maximum ash deposit, 20 vol for grey coverage.
- On a virgin base, apply to the lengths and ends starting 2 cm from the scalp and leave for 10-15 minutes, then apply to the roots and leave for a further 20-25 minutes.
- For a root touch-up on coloured hair, apply to the roots for 20 minutes, then distribute through the lengths for a further 10 minutes to even out the reflect.
- Emulsify with a few drops of warm water, massage gently to even out the colour, then rinse until the water runs clear.
- Finish with a colour-safe shampoo.
Results and expectations
A cool, matte light brown with no red or orange vibration and full grey coverage at 20 vol. As an intense ash it neutralises warm undertones; saturate the hair well on resistant bases for a deeper matte effect. Vegetal liposomes, hydrolyzed keratin and shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) help nourish and protect the fibre. Cool shades naturally warm up with washing, so a colour-safe routine helps the ash last. As a permanent colour it grows out at the roots: plan a touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks.
What you need with it
Always mix with a cream developer such as Oxidizer. Seal the cuticle and protect the cool pigment from oxidation 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.
