SECONDARY USES

1. Root Touch-Up on Colored Hair: Apply only to regrowth areas where natural hair needs to be recolored to match previously colored lengths, using 20 or 30 volume developers at 1:1 ratio, processing for 35 minutes. For the person maintaining their intense red-brown color between full applications, this provides a precise root touch-up solution that keeps color consistent and even.

2. Global Application on Virgin Hair: Apply evenly to dry, unwashed virgin hair for an all-over intense red-brown transformation, using 20 volume (up to 2 levels lift) or 30 volume (up to 3 levels lift), processing for 35 minutes . For the person wanting to achieve a bold, vibrant red-brown from natural hair, this provides the ideal single-process solution.

3. Grey Coverage for Resistant Hair: For clients with up to 70% white hair, use the target shade alone with 20 or 30 volume developer; for 70-100% white hair coverage, consult professional mixing guidelines . For the person with emerging grey who wants full, vibrant red-brown coverage, this provides a reliable approach.

4. Color Refreshing Service: For a quick refresh of faded color on mid-lengths and ends after a root touch-up, apply with low-volume developer and process for reduced time to revive vibrancy without over-darkening.

5. Take Through with Dia Light: To best preserve previously colored lengths, take through with Dia Light using 9-volume Diactivateur for the final 10-20 minutes of development, depending on desired color change. For the person wanting to refresh color on already-processed hair while preserving hair integrity, this provides a gentler approach.
