What is Oxidant?
Oxidant is a creamy liquid that activates hair dye. Choosing the right oxidant is crucial for achieving the desired hair color. Using an oxidant that does not match the intended coloring process can lead to unexpected results. Therefore, it’s important to select your oxidant with the same care as you choose your dye.
Brand Compatibility
For the best results, it’s recommended to use the same brand of oxidant as your hair dye. This ensures compatibility and helps in achieving the most effective coloring outcomes.
Selecting the Right Volume
You can select the oxidant based on the coloring process you plan to use:
-
20 Vol. Oxidant: Ideal for covering gray hair, lightening by 1-2 shades, and dyeing hair in the same tone.
-
30 Vol. Oxidant: Suitable for lightening hair by 2-3 shades.
-
40 Vol. Oxidant: Best for lightening hair by 3-4 shades and for techniques like highlights and balayage.
By choosing the right oxidant, you can assist in achieving beautiful, vibrant hair color while minimizing the risk of undesirable results.
