🧴 What You’ll Need

1. Protective gloves.

2. Mixing bowl and tint brush.

3.   Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Permanent Hair Color
developer (activating lotion) 10 or 20 Vol. depending on the condition of hair.

4. Use 3 % (10 vol.) or 6 % (20 vol.) for normal
colour application.

5. Use 9 % (30 vol.) for lightening or special
effects (if shade supports it).

6. Skin protection cream (optional).

7.  Comb and clips.

🧪 Step-by-Step Application

1. Perform a Patch Test. (Before colouring, do a
skin sensitivity test (48 hours prior) as recommended on the product leaflet.)

2. Mix the Colour. Mix the Igora Zero AMM colour
cream with the developer in a 1:1 ratio (equal parts colour + developer). For 10-series shades (high-lift blondes), mix 1:2 (colour : developer). Tip: Use measuring tools for accurate ratios.

3. Protect Skin & Clothing. Apply a protective
cream along the hairline/neck to prevent staining. Wear gloves.

4. Apply to Hair, Apply evenly to dry, unwashed
hair. Start at the roots if covering regrowth or grey hair first. Then distribute colour through mid-lengths and ends.

5. Development Time. Leave the colour on the hair
for 30–45 minutes. Keep an eye on timing — do not exceed recommended development period.

6. Rinse & Finish. Emulsify the colour by adding a little water and gently massaging. Rinse thoroughly until water runs
clear. Shampoo and condition with colour-protecting products. Use a post-colour care treatment (e.g., colour freeze or hair sealer) to lock in shade and shine.

💡 Tips for Best Results

·   Dry, unwashed hair helps the colour develop more
evenly.

·   Always use a suitable developer strength for
your desired outcome.

·   Section hair if colouring a full head for easier
application.

·   Avoid overlapping on already coloured hair to
prevent damage.

·   If you’re inexperienced, consider having a
professional hairstylist do the service.

⚠️ Safety Precautions

Not for use on eyelashes or eyebrows. Avoid contact with
eyes; rinse immediately if it occurs. Wait at least 2 weeks after chemical treatments like perms or bleach before colouring. Keep out of reach of children.
