Why Choose Maxima 20 OxiCreme Developer?
Choosing the right hair developer is crucial for the success of any hair colour application. The Maxima 20 Volume Developer stands out for several key reasons:
- Optimised for Maxima Hair Colour: While compatible with many professional hair colour brands, this developer is specifically formulated to work synergistically with Maxima permanent hair colours, enhancing their performance and longevity.
- Superior Stability: The stabilised hydrogen peroxide ensures that the developer remains active and effective throughout its shelf life, delivering consistent power with every use.
- Creamy Consistency: Its rich, creamy texture allows for easy mixing with hair colour or bleach powder, creating a smooth, workable mixture that applies effortlessly and adheres well to the hair strands. This also helps in uniform saturation.
- Protection and Shine: Beyond its activating properties, the OxiCreme's conditioning ingredients help protect the hair's cuticle, leaving it feeling soft, looking shiny, and less prone to damage post-colouring. This makes it a great choice for maintaining hair health.
- Versatility: The 20 Vol developer is a workhorse in any colourist's arsenal. It's perfect for achieving natural-looking colour, enriching existing tones, covering grey, and performing moderate lightening.
Understanding 20 Volume Developer (6% Hydrogen Peroxide)
A 20 volume developer, also known as 6% hydrogen peroxide cream, is the most commonly used strength in professional hair colouring. It offers the perfect balance of lifting power and gentle action. It's designed to:
- Lift Natural Hair Colour: Effectively lifts virgin hair by one to two levels, making it ideal for going slightly lighter or achieving a brighter tone.
- Deposit Permanent Hair Colour: Crucial for opening the hair cuticle and allowing permanent hair dyes to penetrate the cortex, ensuring long-lasting colour.
- Cover Grey Hair: Provides excellent coverage for grey or white hair, ensuring full opacity and vibrant results. This strength is often recommended for maximum grey blending and coverage.
- Tone Bleached Hair: Can be used with toners to neutralise unwanted yellow or brassy tones in pre-lightened hair.
How to Achieve Professional Results with Maxima 20 OxiCreme
For best results and to ensure the safety of your hair, always follow these professional application guidelines:
- Preparation & Mixing: Always perform a strand test and sensitivity patch test 48 hours prior to full application. In a non-metallic bowl, carefully mix Maxima 20 OxiCreme Developer with your chosen permanent hair colour or bleach powder. Refer to the specific product's instructions for the correct mixing ratio (e.g., 1:1, 1:1.5, or 1:2). Use accurate measuring tools for precise formulation.
- Application: Wearing suitable gloves, apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair using a tint brush. For root touch-ups, apply to the regrowth area first. For a full-head application, apply from mid-lengths to ends first, then to the roots if necessary, or according to your colour instructions. Ensure complete saturation for uniform colour uptake.
- Processing: Allow the product to process for the time indicated on your hair colour or bleach instructions. Do not exceed the maximum recommended processing time. Periodically check a strand of hair to monitor the colour development or lightening process.
- Rinsing & Aftercare: Once the desired result is achieved, rinse the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with a post-colour shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for colour-treated hair to seal the cuticle and enhance colour longevity and shine. For optimal hair health, consider a deep conditioning treatment.
