3% to make 1.5% to use as a
Color wash.
3% (10 vol): for use as a demi-permanent or as a toner.
6% (20 vol): for staying on the same base, for going darker
and for coverage of grey hair.
9% (30 vol): lifts 1 to 2 shades and will achieve coverage on
grey hair.

Cream Activator 12% (40 vol): gives 3 to 4 shades of lift with the Hi-Lift Colors.
Mixing
For normal Coloring techniques, mix the Color gel and the activator in equal quantities.
For Hi-Lift Colors, mix 1 part Color gel with 2 parts cream activator 12% (40 vol).
Developing
Apply the Color and place a plastic cap over the hair. Apply gentle heat for the first 10 to
15 minutes.
Do not use excessive heat; a temperature of around 40°C is recommended.
For normal Coloring techniques, a development time of 35 to 45 minutes is
recommended.
For Hi-Lift Colors, the development time can be extended to 50 minutes or until the
required Color is achieved.
Note: All Colors can be left on for longer apart from blonde Colors.
Removing the Color
It is essential to use Organic Care Systems shampoos and conditioners at the backwash, as this completes the
Coloring process, as it closes the cuticle and returns the hair to pH5. At the backwash, add warm water to the Color
and gently massage into a lather. The longer you massage, the better the coverage on grey hair will be. This will also
ensure that all Color residues are removed from the scalp. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Apply Organic
Care Systems Shampoo, lather and rinse, towel blot and spray Organic Care Systems
Soothe Plus Treatment onto the scalp. Then apply Organic Care Systems Conditioner,
ensuring that you leave on for 5 minutes. This will close the cuticle and return the hair
and scalp back to pH5.
