Oxidant Overview
Oxidant is a creamy solution that activates hair dye, playing a crucial role in the coloring process. Selecting the right oxidant is essential to achieve the desired results. Using an oxidant that doesn't align with your coloring method can lead to less than ideal outcomes. Therefore, it is important to carefully choose your oxidant, just as you would with your hair dye. Always opt for an oxidant from the same brand as your chosen dye for the best compatibility.
