THE FACTS ABOUT HAIR DYES

 

PPD  PARA PHENYLENEDIAMINES

Colour molecules used in permanent hair colours needed for most hair dyes especially dark colours for successful coverage of white/grey hair.

 

PTD PARA TOLUENEDIAMINES

 

Colour molecules, an alternative to PPD, less risk to Allergies, PTD performs in the same way as PPD. WELLA does not use PPD in their formulas.

 

PYRAZOL 4.5-DIAMINO PYRAZOLE SULPHATE

 

Colour molecule gives very intense red pigments, it only gives red/orange pigments and is used in 15-18% of Wella colours mainly Reds and intense Violets.

 

THE FACTS ABOUT AMMONIA AND MEA ALKALISERS IN HAIR COLOURS

 

WHAT IS AMMONIA?

 

  • Ammonia is a chemical alkaliser used in colours to open up the hair’s cuticle so the colour pigments can enter the hair.
  • Ammonia has been safely used in hair colours for over 50years.
  • Scientific studies show that for level 3 colour performance (lift of 3 levels or more + up to 100% grey/white hair coverage) ammonia protects the hair structure better than MEA and delivers the best colour result.
  • After acting in the hair ammonia easily evaporates, leaving the hair conditioned.

 

 

WHAT IS MEA?

 

  • An alternative chemical alkaliser to ammonia, it has less chemical smell than ammonia.
  • Used in mild oxidising semi-permanent colours and non-ammonia colours.
  • MEA’s larger molecules are less efficient and need to be used in higher concentrations to achieve comparable results. This can be more damaging to the hair.
  • MEA is more suitable when significant lightening is not required.
  • Used in low concentrations and short development times as there is in WELLA colour touch semi-permanent where colour performance requirements are lower, there is no issue with hair protection.
  • When MEA is used in higher concentrations for 3 levels of lift or more the risk of hair damage is higher and colour performance is reduced.

MICROLIGHT TECHNOLOGY

 

Used in Illumina colour, encapsulates the tiny metals left on the hair from the water you wash it with, reducing damage and keeping the surface of the hair cuticle healthier looking and more transparent colour.

 

The main component EDD’s (Ethylenediamine-N, N-disuccinic acid) this blocks copper ions during the colour process, thus preventing the copper reacting with the Hydrogen peroxide as a result the formation of radicals is drastically reduced and damage to the hair is significantly decreased.

 

ME+

 

The miracle colour molecule ME+ (2-Methoxymethyl-p-phenelenediamine) used in INNOSENSE colour reduces the risk of developing an allergen.

The modified shape of the ME+ molecule does not fit out T Cells so does not activate the body’s immune system.

A skin test should always’s be done 48 hours previous to any colour service.
