Vitamin C Colour Pigment Remover will:

• Remove build-up, older, layered, or warmer or darker semi, demi or permanent oxidative pigments, and return to your natural colour level.
• It works very well to remove built-up colour or darker pigments
• It can be used to remove prominent warm tones such as copper tones, if you want to change your colour to a neutral or cool colour finish
• It will not dry or damage your hair
• It will not lift or lighten your natural colour level

Bleach washing will:

• Achieve a colour lighter than your natural colour level
• Remover older, darker pigments
• We recommend doing some deep conditioning treatments with Repair Mask or Tsubaki Oil before and after a bleach wash to boost moisture and condition.

Our Vitamin C Colour Pigment Remover is powered by ascorbic acid (Vitamin C from oranges) and malic acid (from apples), which form a powerful anti-oxidant formula which can lift oxidative colour (semi, demi or permanent salon or box colour). It is a non-damaging, gentle, water-activated complex which is perfect to remove older, darker, warm or layered pigments. Removing colour pigments tends to reveal natural warmth in the hair, so we recommend applying a permanent colour with cool tones to achieve a tonally balanced finish after the CPR application.

Bleach washes will remove older pigments and also lighten your natural base colour level. A bleach based lightening process is needed if you want to achieve a colour which is 2 or more levels lighter than your natural colour level. Lightening your hair will reveal warmth and it is essential to colour with a colour with cool tones after lightening.

We also recommend deep conditioning treatments before and after a bleach wash, as there is some moisture loss during the colour lifting process.
