10 minute Hair Colour FAQ
WHAT SIZE IS THE TUBE OF 010PLUS COLOUR?
010Plus colour tubes are 100grams.
It is very economical – this equates to an average of 5 to 6 regrowth heads of colour from one tube.
DOES 010PLUS HAVE A RANGE OF HI-LIFT BLONDES?
Yes there are 6 hi-lift blond hair colour shades that will lift up to 4 and at times 5 levels of colour. Time to process can be slightly longer as there is a dual process happening, lightening and depositing colour pigment, so processing time ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. Still so much faster than traditional hi lift blondes which can take up to 60 minutes to process.
010plus hi lift blondes have two processes they can be used as a hi-lifter and also a toner when mixed with 5vol and lower.
PS. The 12/6 Rose Gold is to die for!
WHAT IF 010PLUS COLOUR IS LEFT ON LONGER?
010Plus is a non-progressive colour – meaning that it will not darken the longer it is left on, however, if it is left on longer the colour could result in a warmer shade. At times extremely resistant grey hair can benefit from an extra couple of minutes of processing .
Having said this we do not recommend the colour to be in contact with the skin any longer than necessary to perform the colour.
CAN 010PLUS BE MIXED AS A DEMI, SEMI, OR TONER?
Yes you can mix all three from one colour tube.
With the addition of our additive Pure Tone the colour can be mixed as a demi, semi or toner.
The mix ratio ranges from 10% up to 50% of the colour mix. The level of developer would be dropped down according to the desired result.
WHAT IS NEUTRAL 0/0?
0/0 is not a colour and has no covering power. It is the same vegetable base as the colour range but contains no pigment.
Its job is to lighten the shades by adding a level of translucence enabling hair colour shades that are not on our colour chart.
Mixing with intensifiers enable pastel shades of Magenta, Pink, Salmon Lilac etc.perfect also to make toners for bleached hair.
CAN 0/0 BE USED TO MAKE TONER FOR BLONDES ?
Toners are made by simply adding the neutral clear 0/0 to the concentrate colours or even to the regular tones to give transparency. Want to bring the depth up a little more then add a small amount of base. You can be as creative as you wish with 010Plus.
0/0 IN 010PLUS CAN MAKE A HAIR GLOSS TREATMENT!
A shine and conditioning treatment that restores the PH of the hair – making the colour brighter and increasing the colour reflect.
Using our super versatile 0/0, Pure tone and a low volume Oxy developer – apply to freshly washed and towel dried hair and process for 10 minutes. Rinse and seal with Post Colour Masque
Permanent colour:-
The mixing ratio makes it extremely economical.
Regular colouring is 1:1.5.
Resistant to 100% grey is 1:1 -1:1.5
Hi-lift blondes are 1:2
I DO FOILS AT THE SAME TIME AS COLOUR, 10 MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH TIME ?
No problem, in this case we do the foils first and then apply the colour to the roots whilst the foils are processing. The timing usually works perfectly for us in that all is ready at the same time even with tinted ends.
HOW DOES 010PLUS COLOUR SO FAST?
010Plus is an oxidation dye so it uses a very low percentage of ammonia (less than 2%) and because the B-spot Laboratories have developed a way of making the pigment so micrographally minute – only an extremely low level of ammonia is required to open the cuticle so very slightly to allow the microns of pigment to enter.
The colouring pigments are extremely compatible with the hair fibre, so they penetrate quickly inside the hair.
10Plus is a vegetal-based hair colour, using only the chemical required to perform the colour action. There are no chemical accelerators used in this formula to speed up the processing.
Perfect because, product contact with the client’s scalp is reduced by 50%, not to mention the time it saves you and your client!.
WHAT IS PURE TONE? HOW IS IT MIXED?
Pure Tone is a revolutionary liquid, its addition transforms the 010Plus colours to Demi/Semi, temporary colour and deposit only colour. It is added to the colour mix up to a maximum of 50%.of the colour creme.
Pure Tone (composed of natural citric acid) neutralises the effect of ammonia and diffuses the colour pigments. It is a natural dye softener, and can also be used in the permanent colour mix up to 10% to soothe any itching in delicate and sensitive scalps.
The addition of Pure Tone to the colour mix 25% plus, will neutralise the action that breaks the base so colours can be toned without fear of further lightening.
CAN I MAKE CRAZY COLOURS FROM THE 010PLUS CONCENTRATES?
The intensifier colours come as a range of 6 colours: ( Yellow, Red, Blue, Orange, Violet, Pearl) their main purpose is to intensify and enhance the shades of the range.
They are not only just intensifiers/correctors they have many other uses:
1) By themselves with Oxy as a particularly intense fashion hair colour shades as Crazy Colours.
2) For Pastel shades mixed with our 0/0 for beautiful unicorn looks.
CAN’T DECIDE ON THE RIGHT LEVEL REQUIRED?
You can always be sure you make the right colour choice with 010plus: it’s fast processing makes it a cinch to choose the right shade and level. Mix a small amount of colour and place it in a small patch on the hair at the back underneath, where you want to test either at the scalp or mid-lengths – wait 10 mins and the results are there for you.
