The creamy texture makes it easier to achieve a homogeneous mixture and distribute the colour evenly during application.

Key ingredient and its role

Abyssinian oil (Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil) is a plant-derived emollient that helps condition and protect the hair fibre and scalp during colouring. The thick consistency is designed for easy mixing and controlled application.

Compatibility and complementary products

Designed for use within the LAKMÉ colouring system. Collage and Collage Mix Tones provide colour options, while Collage Clair is the high-lift range. Each service requires an appropriate developer strength and mixing ratio.

This 6V strength is also used with K.Blonde toners at a 1:2 ratio and with Gloss for tone-on-tone colouring, following the instructions for the specific service.

How to use

Choose this 6V (1.8%) strength for tone-on-tone colouring and refreshing faded colour.
For a K.Blonde toner mixture at 1:2, use 60 ml of this 6V developer with 30 ml of toner. For Gloss and colour-refreshing services, follow the technical directions for the specific colour.
The colour determines the mixing ratio, while the intended service determines developer strength. These two parameters must be selected separately.

Prepare the mixture immediately before application. With K.Blonde toner, use a 1:2 ratio: 60 ml of toner and 120 ml of developer. For Gloss or a Collage colour-refreshing formula, follow the relevant technical directions. Mix to a smooth consistency and use the processing time specified for the service. This strength is intended for toning and refreshing colour.

Product story

The colouring result depends on more than the chosen shade. In the Collage and Gloss system, the developer plays an important role in achieving the intended result of each colour formula. The Color Developer range offers different strengths so the colourist can select a suitable option for toning, grey coverage or lifting the natural base.

The creamy texture of this range is designed for easy mixing with colour and even application. Abyssinian oil complements the technical function of the developer with care for the hair fibre and scalp. This makes the developer part of an approach that combines precise colour work with care for the hair.

Each strength has its own role in this system. Gentle colour refreshing and more pronounced lift require different formulas, making developer selection an important part of the consultation. Color Developer helps create a mixture suited to those needs, linking the chosen colour, hair base and intended result.
