Product story
4D Color Experts was developed to combine colour intensity with hair fibre protection during chemical processing. The four dimensions in its name are depth, shine, coverage and care. The formula is designed to deliver precise shades while caring for the hair fibre as the colour develops.
Alongside natural base shades, the shade chart includes cool and enhanced-coverage options, ash and pearl tones, and gold, copper, red, violet and brown shades. High-lift colours and correctors form separate groups. These families let colourists select both the depth of colour and the desired undertone.
For grey coverage, the ratio of base shade to chosen shade is adjusted to the proportion of grey hair. Toning, standard permanent colouring and high-lift colouring each have different mixing ratios and processing times. This allows colours from one palette to meet a range of professional colouring needs, following the appropriate technical instructions for each service.

About K89
K89 is a Spanish professional haircare brand founded in 2010 and part of the Vitafrán group. It began by responding to demand for specialist keratin treatments and care for damaged hair. The K in its name refers to keratin, while 89 marks the start of the Vitafrán family business in 1989.
Hairdressers and salon work are central to the brand. Its portfolio combines technical colouring and treatment products with everyday care and finishing products. Professional training supports the range, helping hairdressers choose an approach suited to the condition of the hair.
What is K89 known for?
K89 focuses on damaged hair, hydration, smoothness and frizz control. Different ranges address intensive care, curl definition, shine and colouring. This makes it possible to select products around a specific concern and hair type rather than build every routine around the same formula.
K89 products
Shampoos, conditioners and masks
Shampoos, conditioners and hair masks form the basis of regular care. Consider dryness, the extent of damage, hair texture and the desired finish when choosing a product. Follow cleansing with a suitable rinse-out or leave-in treatment.
Intensive Care
Intensive Care brings together treatments and maintenance care. The brand describes Wizard System as an intensive hair-fibre treatment with collagen, amino acids and vitamin E. The range also includes a preparatory shampoo, finishing serum, maintenance shampoos and a mask designed to complement the treatments.
Professional Curly Hair
Professional Curly Hair is designed for wavy and curly hair, following the principles of the Curly Method. Its priorities are hydration, defined and elastic curls, and reduced frizz. K89 emphasises the role of a hairdresser in selecting products and routines for the individual hair type.
Global Glow and hair colour
Global Glow targets shine, hydration and frizz control, with cotton, rosehip and argan extracts highlighted in its formulas. Permanent hair colour is another part of the professional portfolio. K89 describes 4D COLOR EXPERTS through four aspects: depth, shine, coverage and care.
Who are K89 products for?
K89 suits hairdressers and customers seeking targeted care for dry, damaged, coloured or curly hair. For home care, choose a product intended for your hair’s condition.
