Hair Colouring – Mixing and applying hair colour
Looking to refresh your hair colour? With Echosline professional hair colouring products, exclusive to Uniprix, it’s easy to get affordable, salon-worthy results!
To colour your hair like a pro, you’ll need:
- A tube of Echosline colouring cream;
- A bottle of Echosline cream peroxide;
- Our protective Seliar Kromatik treatment
- An Echosline hair colouring kit, which includes:
- A non-metal bowl;
- A hair colouring brush;
- A smock;
- A pair of disposable gloves.
***IMPORTANT ! Make sure the stabilized peroxide you use is the same brand as your colouring creams. These products have been formulated and stabilized to work together.
To avoid all allergic reactions from the colouring cream, be sure to do the skin allergy test described in the instructions, BEFORE proceeding with the application.
Step 1:
Choose your colour and select the peroxide volume based on the level of lightness or darkness you want. Consult the following chart for details:
- For a given tone without any lightening, to darken by one tone or for tone on tone : Your colouring cream + 10 volume peroxide
- To lighten by 2 tones or cover grey: Your colouring cream + 20 volume peroxide
- To lighten by 3 tones: Your colouring cream + 30 volume peroxide
- For bleaching : Super lightening or a sachet of bleaching powder + 30 volume peroxide
Step 2:
In a non-metal bowl, mix one part of colouring cream with one part and a half of peroxide. (Ratio: 1:1.5)
For short hair, 50 ml of colouring cream and 75 ml of peroxide should be enough. For long hair, double the quantities.
Step 3:
Add 3.5ml of Seliar Kromatik protective treatment to the colouring cream and peroxide mixture
Step 4 :
Brush your hair. Divide it into four sections and secure them with non-metal hair clips.
Step 5:
To touch up roots in previously coloured hair, apply the mixture evenly to the roots, section by section, and wait 20 minutes. Then massage the mixture into the lengths of the hair. Wait another 10 minutes.
If you are dying natural hair, apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair (roots, ends, lengths) using the brush. Wait 30 minutes.
Step 6:
Rinse abundantly with lukewarm water. We recommend using the Seliar Kromatik range to seal the cuticle and ensure long-lasting color results.
