20 Nov Why we use Ammonia based colour over MEA based colour brands.
MEA + AMMONIA – For years there has been a debate between ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ & ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐d ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฌ.
When a colour DOES NOT contain Ammonia, they usually REPLACE it with just another chemical compound such as ๐๐ธ๐ด.
Ammonia & MEA provide the alkalinity needed to penetrate the colour molecules and to help the peroxide lighten the existing pigments with the hair. ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐ is a gas-based chemical, so it evaporates in a short time and leaves the hair completely, while ๐ด๐ฌ๐จ๐ are a liquid or oil-based, oxidates the hair long after the client has left the salon. FYI: ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, INTERESTING?
Did you know that some anecdotal evidence suggest that higher levels of ๐ด๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ than a corresponding equivalent level of the typical alkalizer, ammonia (in the form of ammonium hydroxide)?
The findings of the study โ…๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐ฌ๐จ-๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐ 85% ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฌ๐จ.” BUMMMER.
Simply putting our reason why we use it: Ammonia over MEA gives better results in ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. It is also ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐then MEA based colours. We proudly use La Biosthetiqueโs Ammonia colour as it also only use 2% ๐๐ 4% ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐, minus the noxious smell, itโs ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ and handโs down the best option when worrying about what goes down the drain.
