Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to common questions about professional hair colour.
Permanent hair color penetrates the hair shaft for long-lasting results and 100% grey coverage. Demi-permanent color is gentler, typically ammonia-free, and fades gradually, making it ideal for blending greys or adding shine.
10 Vol (3%): For deposit or 1 level of lift.
20 Vol (6%): Standard for grey coverage and 2 levels of lift.
30/40 Vol (9-12%): For 3 to 4+ levels of lift.
Note: Always use the brand-specific developer (eg: Use iNOA oil developers exclusively with iNOA color tubes).

For these services, you can use L'Oréal Professionnel iNOA, Dia or Matrix SoColor.
Yes, you can embrace first greys gracefully using subtle techniques like Balayage or demi-permanent glosses that require fewer root touch-ups and prevent a dull appearance. For a seamless blend, you can use L'Oréal Professionnel Dia Color.
Ammonia is used for deep pigment penetration and significant lift. For clients with sensitive scalps or those preferring an odorless experience, we offer high-performance Oil Delivery System (ODS) technology available in L'Oréal Professionnel iNOA and an oil-enriched formula in Matrix Wonder Color.
