FAQs

Is Igora Royal 4-68 a permanent or semi-permanent colour?

Igora Royal is a permanent hair colour designed for long-lasting results and grey coverage.

Can I use any developer with this product?

It is highly recommended to use Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Oil Developers to ensure the high-definition pigment matrix functions as intended.

What does the '4-68' indicate in the shade name?

The '4' represents the level (Medium Brown), while '6' (Chocolate) and '8' (Red) represent the primary and secondary tone reflections.

Is this product suitable for use at home?

This product is formulated for professional salon use. Improper application can lead to uneven results or damage.

How long should I leave the product on the hair?

Standard development time is typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the hair texture and the developer strength used.

Troubleshooting

Colour appears too dark or opaque on porous ends

Use a porosity equalizer spray before application or reduce the development time on the lengths of the hair.

Inconsistent coverage on grey hair

Ensure the ratio of natural tone to fashion tone is adjusted, or utilize a higher volume developer if the hair is classified as resistant.

Unexpected tone results

Verify the starting level of the hair and the developer strength; ensure the chosen developer volume matches the desired lift requirement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, mix the Igora Royal colour cream with the dedicated Igora Royal Oil Developer. A standard mixing ratio is 1:1, though this can vary based on the desired level of lift and grey coverage percentage.

  1. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before full application.
  2. Use a non-metallic bowl and brush for mixing.
  3. Apply to dry, unwashed hair unless instructed otherwise by specific technical protocols.
  4. Process according to the timing guidelines provided in the developer manual (typically 30-45 minutes).
  5. After processing, emulsify the colour with water, rinse thoroughly, and follow with a professional-grade colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to seal the cuticle.
