Results and expectations
A rich light mahogany red brown with warm, multidimensional reflects, even from roots to ends and full grey coverage at 20 vol. Hydrolyzed wheat protein, lanolin and panthenol help protect and condition the fibre during processing. 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. For a deeper, more vivid red you can add a little Pure Pigment 0.66 Red 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.
FAQ
Which developer gives full grey coverage?
Mix 1:1 with a 20 vol developer for full grey coverage and an intense reflect. Use 10 vol for tone-on-tone or to darken, 30 vol for a warmer, brighter effect or 40 vol for maximum lift.
How do I make the red more intense?
Add a small percentage of Pure Pigment 0.66 Red to the mix, or use a 30 vol developer for a warmer, brighter reflect. On very porous or damaged hair, lower the developer volume for a gentler process.
