Product Information

If you wash away your hair’s sebum immediately before coloring it, there’ll be no barrier between your scalp and the hair color. We recommend refraining from heat-styling or relaxing your hair within a week or two of coloring it. The better the condition of your hair before coloring it, the better the results will be. You’re a good candidate for L’Oreal HiColor if your hair is strong, unprocessed, and well maintained. Refrain From Damaging Styling Practices Developers come in several levels, including 10, 20, 30, and 40. The higher the level, the more lift and potential damage you can expect. Here, we’ll take a look at each developer strength when used with permanent hair color:

Once you dye your hair with L’Oreal HiColor, your strands will be porous and prone to further damage. It will make a huge difference if you take the following steps to keep your hair as healthy and vibrant as possible: Avoid shampooing your hair for a couple of days before coloring it. To protect your scalp from the potentially damaging effects of high-lift color, you must preserve its natural oils (sebum). If you have buildup on your hair from gels, pomades, or a flaky scalp, wash that away a couple of days before dye day. That way, your scalp will have some time to produce more protective sebum. Moisturize and Deep Condition

The main plus is that it does so without bleach, which is known to cause significant damage to the hair. Unfortunately, many think that since L’Oreal HiColor doesn’t have any bleach, it couldn’t possibly be damaging to your hair – this couldn’t be further from the truth.

People color their hair with hair dye and 30 volume developer all the time – some are able to preserve the health of their hair while others are not.They will specify just how much hair color and developer you should mix, how long to leave the mixture on your hair, and more. Just because certain hair products don’t contain or require bleach, that doesn’t mean that they’re damage-free. L’Oreal HiColor Requires 30 to 40 Volume Developer Give your hair a break– Don’t wash it unless absolutely necessary, limit styling, and stay far away from heat. Also, cover your hair up at night to preserve its moisture levels. volume developer– Commonly used for slight color changes and can produce 1 to 2 levels of lift. Some people notice that their hair is drier than usual after using 20 volume developer.

Condition often– Condition your hair every time you wash it, and deep condition it at least once per week. Your thirsty strands will thank you. This is a step that everyone should take to prevent undesirable results and irreversible hair and scalp damage. To do the test, follow the below instructions:

With L’Oreal HiColor, it’s crucial to take every precaution you can to maintain the integrity of your hair. volume developer – Produces 3 to 4 levels of lift for high-impact color changes and full gray coverage. This developer strength should be used with caution due to the damage and breakage that could occur. Note: Significant damage can occur when you make large changes in your hair’s color. For example, going from dark brown hair to intense red or a brighter shade will require some type of lightener (like bleach) and expose your hair to potential damage.

Use a heat protectant– If you can’t stay away from the heat, apply a heat protectant beforehand to form a protective barrier on your color-treated hair. It’s also a good idea to avoid any high-manipulation styles– think box braids, faux locs, etc. Styles like these can leave your hair vulnerable to damage from coloring. Put the blow-dryer down– Blow dryers are a form of indirect heat that can wreak havoc on color-treated hair. Instead of blow-drying your hair, air-dry it. A raw scalp and hair dye don’t mix well, often leading to scalp redness, burning, swelling, and even hair loss.If you read through the instructions and have questions, you can take some time beforehand to call the manufacturer or a stylist for assistance. Only after you completely understand the instructions should you color your hair. Do a Strand Test volume developer – Produces 2 to 4 levels of lift and covers grays with ease. Some will experience dry, brittle hair after using a 30-volume developer. All of this may seem overwhelming, but it’s necessary if you want to keep your hair on your head following a harsh color job. After doing the strand test, you can make an educated decision about whether to go through with the full dye job, try a different color shade, or shorten the processing time. Limit Damage After Dyeing
