Product Overview

The Schwarzkopf Igora Lightener is designed to assist in achieving brighter hair shades, lightening hair up to 7 tones in a controlled way. This formula is enriched with wheat starch to ensure a smooth application and maintain the softness of your hair.

Key Features

This lightener helps create the desired natural tones without drying out the hair. It is important to note that hair lightening should be performed by a trained professional for optimal results.

Mixing Instructions

To prepare the mixture, combine 35g (1 part) of IGORA Vario Blond Extra Power non-dusting lightener with 70ml (1:2) of IGORA Colorist's Color & Care Developer (3%, 6%, or maximum 9%), depending on how light you want to achieve. Mix until you reach a creamy consistency in a non-metal container.

Application Guidelines

Once mixed, apply the lightener generously to dry, unwashed hair, starting from the nape of the neck and working in thin sections to ensure even coverage.

First-Time Dyeing on Natural Hair

If you are dyeing natural hair for the first time, begin by applying the mixture to the lengths and ends of your hair, leaving 1-2cm from the scalp. Allow it to process for about 10 minutes to lighten by 2-3 tones, then carefully apply to the roots without touching the scalp.

Dip Coloring Technique

For dip coloring, using a maximum of 6% developer, apply the mixture to the scalp while avoiding contact with the skin. This can be applied over previously lightened hair for a more enhanced look.

Processing Time

The application time can vary from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on your hair texture, the developer used, and the desired outcome. It is advisable to check your hair every 5 minutes to monitor the lightening process. Avoid using heat sources or steamers to speed up the effect.

Post-Treatment Care

Once the desired lightening is achieved, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water, followed by a gentle shampoo and conditioner to maintain its health.
