Oxidant Selection
The oxidant is a creamy liquid that activates the hair dye. Selecting the right oxidant is crucial for successful hair coloring. Using an oxidant that doesn't match your intended process can lead to less-than-desirable results. Therefore, it’s important to choose your oxidant with the same care as you do your dye. It is recommended to use an oxidant from the same brand as the hair color you select.
Choosing the Right Oxidant
You can easily determine the appropriate oxidant for your specific hair coloring needs by referring to the guide below:
-
7 Vol. Oxidant: Ideal for semi-permanent color applications.
-
10 Vol. Oxidant: Suitable for darkening hair color.
-
20 Vol. Oxidant: Effective for covering gray hair, lightening by 1-2 shades, or dyeing the hair the same color.
-
30 Vol. Oxidant: Can lighten hair by up to 2-3 shades.
-
40 Vol. Oxidant: Recommended for lightening hair by 3-4 shades, as well as for highlights and balayage techniques.
Choosing the right oxidant can assist in achieving the desired hair color while maintaining the health and integrity of your hair.
