FarmaVita Life Color Plus permanent hair colour with moisturising oligopeptides 8.0, 100 ml

Permanent colour looks more vibrant and defined when hair retains its shine and is easy to comb after the service. FarmaVita Life Color Plus 8.0 combines colouring pigments with Brazil nut oligopeptides that help bind moisture within the hair fibre. This combines rich colour, conditioning and grey coverage with an appropriate formula in one professional colouring product.

For colour changes, regrowth retouches and grey coverage, FarmaVita Life Color Plus 8.0 offers an oxidative colour cream with Excelsa HP technology. This version is natural light blonde. The Excelsa HP formula combines colouring with hair conditioning. Colouring pigments work with moisture-binding oligopeptides to provide conditioning benefits during colouring.

Detailed description

Excelsa HP technology uses low-molecular-weight oligopeptides derived from Bertholletia excelsa. They help maintain hair moisture. The cream base also includes an ingredient that reduces ammonia odour. The range is also designed for grey coverage. For 50–100% grey hair, mix the chosen shade with an equal amount of the corresponding natural shade at the same depth; the recommended total colour-to-developer ratio is 1:1.

Key ingredients and their benefits

The oligopeptides in Excelsa HP technology are obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) proteins. Their small molecular size helps them penetrate the hair fibre and bind to hair proteins. Their ability to bind water helps maintain hair moisture. The formula also contains an ingredient that forms a protective film on skin and hair, plus a component that reduces ammonia odour; this professional colouring system contains ammonia.

Related products and aftercare

Life Cream Developer products are part of this colouring system: choose the concentration according to the service and shade group. After emulsifying the colour and rinsing thoroughly, finish the service with Color Saver shampoo. For additional care, apply Omniplex n.2 Bond Reinforcer after rinsing out the chemical treatment mixture; it helps strengthen the structural bonds within the hair, conditions hair and protects colour.

For added comfort during chemical services, Omniplex Scalp Protector serum with aloe vera and calendula is designed to protect and soothe the scalp. It is fragrance-free and must be used according to the serum's instructions. After rinsing out the treatment mixture, Omniplex n.2 Bond Reinforcer helps strengthen hair bonds, condition the hair and protect colour.

How to use

Choose the colour formula according to the starting hair colour, hair condition and percentage of grey hair. In a plastic bowl, mix 50 ml colour with 75 ml Life Cream Developer at a 1:1.5 ratio; a 1:1 ratio can be used for more intense colour. For tone-on-tone colouring, use 3% developer and process for 30–40 minutes; for grey coverage, use 6% for 30–45 minutes; for 2–3 levels of lift, use 9% for 30–40 minutes.

For 50–100% grey hair, mix equal amounts of the chosen shade and the corresponding natural shade at the same depth, then add developer at a 1:1 ratio to the total colour amount. When colouring virgin hair for the first time, apply the mixture to the lengths and ends for 20 minutes, then to the roots for a further 20 minutes. For regrowth colouring, start at the roots for 20–30 minutes, then, if required, distribute through the lengths and ends for a further 10–15 minutes.

Finish by emulsifying with water, rinsing thoroughly and using Color Saver shampoo. For professional use only. Wear protective gloves and follow the instructions, warnings and allergy test directions on the specific packaging.

Mixture quantity and grey coverage formula

Standard example: 50 ml colour and 75 ml developer produce 125 ml of mixture. For 50–100% grey hair, an equal-part formula can use 25 ml of the chosen colour, 25 ml of the corresponding natural shade at the same depth and 50 ml of 6% developer. The 1:1 ratio in this example is calculated against the combined amount of both colours.

First application and regrowth retouching

The first-application instruction of 20 minutes on the lengths and ends followed by 20 minutes at the roots applies to virgin hair. For regrowth retouching, start at the roots; refresh the lengths and ends only as needed, following the hair's condition and the instructions for the particular service. For grey coverage, follow the specified 30–45 minute processing time.

Product story

The Life Color Plus range combines hair colouring with care for the hair's appearance and feel after the service. It is based on Excelsa HP technology, which uses oligopeptides derived from the Brazil nut Bertholletia excelsa. These small peptide molecules help maintain moisture within the hair fibre and complement the action of colouring pigments.

The creamy formula combines colour development with conditioning. Hair shine and ease of combing are important to this approach, as the colour result depends on both the selected shade and the appearance of the hair surface. The formula also contains an ingredient that helps reduce ammonia odour during the service.

The extensive palette includes natural, cool, golden, copper, red and iridescent shades, along with high-lift blondes and a neutral mixing shade. This allows the hairdresser to create a colour formula for a particular starting shade and desired result. Life Cream Developer products complement this professional colouring system.
