Bright copper hair colour no N series.
Just a short post rare for me on creating bright copper hair colour without using any N series to address a Grey issue.
It is not my intention to advocate that not using N series will work on every scenario or that the N series is obsolete its an essential tool to have in our colour box. All assessment has to be in the consultation and every case is different the N series still plays a key roll but its always useful to push the envelop and make new discovery.
In this case I had a model with 30% Grey hair a natural level 7 who wanted maintain her very bright copper look an dust have the roots blended in about 1/2 inch re growth or re growth!
Product used was Techno fruit by AlterEgo Italy a professional only permanent hair colour. As stated level 7 target level 7 4/3 Copper/ Gold.
Instead of using a formulation that may well have looked like this 9 grams 7N 21 grams Target 7/43 with chosen developer of say 6% or 20 vol mixing ratio 1 part colour to 1.5 times developer.
My formulation was 15 grams of 7.43 with 9% 30 volume mixing ration I to 1.5 process time 40 mins this allows for full lift and deposit and most impotently development of the colour molecule in the cortex level this is helped by the Keratin delivery system in the colour.
Using higher volume of Developer gives the formulation makes more oxygen available in the lifting process and development of the colour molecule. This will be questioned by some as formulation. I did but it make scull sense allowing a better quality a more concentrate delivery of pigment to develop giving us the shade and tone required.
A little added information:
