REINSTATING COLOUR

Reinstating colour, also known as pre-pigmenting or filling artificially coloured hair, can be performed in either 1 or 2 steps depending on the level of darkening required and the porosity of the hair.

STEP 1

When reinstating colour up to 2 levels darker on hair in good condition we add the pre pigmentation shade directly into the target shade mixture.

• Mixture: 50g of target shade, 5g of pre-pigmentation shade and 75ml Activator
• Timing: up to 35 minutes

STEP 2

When reinstating colour 3 levels darker or working with highly sensitised hair then a pre-pigmentation service is required first, prior to applying desired target shade to the hair.

• Mixture: 1 Part pre-pigmentation shade to 2 Parts 1.5% (5Vol) Activator (1:2)
• Apply to dry unwashed hair
• Process for 15 minutes
• Comb off and wipe away excess colour with paper towel
• Apply target shade with 3% (10Vol) Activator
• Timing: up to 35 minutes

Always choose a warm shade for pre-pigmentation 1 shade lighter than desired result.
