• Oxidizer 40 vol. (12%) offers the highest lifting power for major color transformations, lightening hair by up to four levels.

Application:

• Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair starting from the roots for touch-ups or all over for a new color, ensuring end-to-end coverage.
• Employ the tint brush for a uniform application, coating every strand thoroughly.
• Section the hair to guarantee complete coverage.
• Adhere to the recommended development time, which will vary depending on the chosen Oxidizer volume and the targeted color intensity.

Finishing:

• Once the development time is up, lightly wet the hair and massage the scalp and hair to emulsify the color.
• Rinse the hair thoroughly until the water runs clear.
• Use a shampoo designed for color-treated hair, followed by a conditioner, to seal in moisture and enhance the color’s vibrancy.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Avoid washing the hair for at least 24-48 hours to allow the color to set.
• Opt for sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair to prolong color vibrancy and health.
• Minimize the use of heat styling tools; when necessary, use a heat protectant to prevent color fading.
• Plan for touch-up applications as needed, typically every 4-6 weeks, to maintain the color freshness and cover new growth.
