Peroxides & Developers

Peroxides & Developers

This range of hair peroxides and developers are for trade professionals to assist with salon colouring services. Hydrogen peroxide is often used lighten hair and is considered to be a permanent dye. There are a number of different brands who offer peroxides to mix with their hair colours and bleach.

While most products can be mixed with varied brands, some do require you to use a specific line. Peroxide comes in a number of different strengths, and you can get them all from AMR.

Types of Hair Peroxides Offered

Low strength developers such as zero lift developer and 3.5 vol, can help to activate colour while resulting in very minimal hair damage. The higher the level of developer, the stronger the formula is, and if it is left on too long, the higher the risk it may cause damage. That's why it is recommended that peroxides should only be used by professionals.

40 vol is the highest level of peroxide offered by AMR. You can also purchase products in 5 vol, 10 vol and 20 vol.

Preventing Damage

When offering colour services, it's important to use quality products to preserve your client's hair. When working with a new client, try to understand their colour history. This will help you to understand the product you'll need to use on their hair.

Furthermore, it's important to feel the quality of your client's hair. Know the colour they want to achieve and the timeframe they expect to achieve it. Many customers hope to go blonde instantly and that comes with a high risk of compromising hair quality.

Offering additional services to these clients such as specialised nourishing treatments or hair reconstructors will help minimise and repair possible damage from using hair peroxide.

    The primary goal when using a developer for grey hair is to open the hair cuticle enough to deposit colour. As such, the most commonly used hair developer for grey hair is a 20-volume developer because it provides sufficient lift for most colour preferences, without excessive damage.

    For no-lift hair colour a 10-volume developer is sufficient, as it is only used to open the cuticle layer. When lightening is required, 20-volume developer is a good choice as it will limit damage to the hair. For significant lightening, a 30-volume or 40-volume developer can be used but should only be used by professionals.

    Hair developer helps to activate colour molecules in hair dye, assisting the dye to penetrate the hair cuticle for a permanent colour change. The volume strength of the developer determines the level of lift and colour deposit.
