FAQs
How long does Osmo Ikon Black hair colour last?
Osmo Ikon is a permanent hair colour, meaning it is designed for long-lasting results. However, the longevity can be influenced by hair type, aftercare, and washing frequency.
Do I need to use a special developer with Osmo Ikon?
Yes, Osmo Ikon Hair Colour is formulated to be used with Osmo Cream Developers. Always use the recommended developer for optimal results and follow the specific mixing ratios provided in the instructions.
Can I mix Osmo Ikon Black with other shades?
While professional colorists sometimes mix shades for custom results, it is generally recommended to use the product as directed. If you wish to mix shades, ensure you understand colour theory and follow professional guidelines carefully.
Is Osmo Ikon suitable for grey coverage?
Yes, Osmo Ikon is designed for excellent grey coverage. For stubborn grey hair, it is often recommended to use a combination of natural tone shades with the desired fashion shade or a higher volume developer, following professional guidelines.
How should I prepare my hair before using Osmo Ikon Black?
Hair should be dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours before application. This allows the natural oils to protect the scalp. Ensure hair is free from heavy product build-up. A patch test is crucial 48 hours prior to application.
What is the processing time for Osmo Ikon Black?
The standard processing time is typically 20-30 minutes, but this can vary depending on the developer used and the desired result. Always refer to the product's professional instructions for exact timings.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour application
Ensure hair is properly sectioned and the colour mixture is applied evenly from root to tip. Use a non-metallic comb to distribute. Make sure the hair was not washed immediately prior to application, as natural oils can provide some protection.
Colour not developing to expected shade
Verify the correct developer volume was used and that the mixing ratio was precise. Check the expiry date of the colour and developer. Natural hair porosity and condition can also affect results.
Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring
Ensure thorough rinsing and conditioning post-application. Use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask regularly. Check that the developer volume used was appropriate for the desired outcome and hair condition.
Colour fades quickly
Use colour-safe haircare products. Avoid washing hair too frequently with hot water. Ensure the colour was mixed and applied correctly for maximum pigment lock-in.
