Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals with colored or sensitized hair seeking to refresh or subtly enhance their hair color without damage. The key benefit is achieving vibrant, glossy, and moisturized results with an ammonia-free formula that offers zero lightening. A minor caveat is that it's a tone-on-tone color, meaning it won't significantly change the base color or lighten hair. L'Oréal Professionnel Dialight is an acidic gel-cream hair color designed to add tone, shine, and condition while respecting the hair fiber. It's particularly useful for creating color matches with permanent dyes, refreshing existing color, or adding subtle tonal variations and gloss.

FAQs

Can Dialight be used on virgin hair?

Yes, Dialight can be used on virgin hair to add shine, tone, or subtle reflects without altering the natural base color.

How long does the color last?

As a tone-on-tone color, Dialight is semi-permanent and typically lasts between 6-8 shampoos, depending on hair porosity and care routine.

What is the difference between Dialight and permanent hair color?

Dialight is ammonia-free and acidic, offering tone-on-tone results without lightening. Permanent color typically contains ammonia and alkalis, which lift the natural pigment before depositing color, allowing for significant lightening and gray coverage.

Can I use Dialight to cover gray hair?

Dialight is not designed for gray coverage. It deposits tone but does not provide opacity for gray hair. For gray coverage, a permanent color range is recommended.

What developer should I use with Dialight 5.66?

You should use L'Oréal Professionnel Diactivateur developer, available in 1.5% (5 vol) or 3% (10 vol). Always follow the specific mixing ratio provided in the product instructions.

How do I achieve a custom shade?

Dialight shades can be mixed together to create unique tones. Consult with a professional stylist for personalized shade recommendations and mixing ratios.

Is Dialight suitable for very damaged hair?

Yes, Dialight's acidic, ammonia-free formula is specifically beneficial for sensitized or damaged hair as it respects the hair fiber and adds condition and shine.

Troubleshooting

Color not developing evenly

Ensure hair was properly shampooed and towel-dried before application. Check that the mixture was applied thoroughly and evenly throughout the hair, and that the processing time was adequate. Ensure the correct developer was used at the recommended ratio.

Hair feels dry after application

While Dialight is conditioning, ensure you used the recommended Diactivateur. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a deep conditioning treatment or mask. Avoid overwashing hair immediately after coloring.

Color result is too intense

This can happen if processing time was extended. For future applications, reduce the processing time. If the result is too intense, a clarifying shampoo can sometimes help to slightly fade the color, or a subsequent gloss service with a weaker tone can be applied.

Product mixed but not applying smoothly

Ensure the Diactivateur and Dialight were mixed thoroughly until a smooth, homogenous mixture was achieved. Use a clean mixing bowl and whisk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure hair is clean and towel-dried. For best results, use a clarifying shampoo if there is significant product buildup.
  2. Mix Dialight 5.66 with the recommended L'Oréal Professionnel Diactivateur developer. The mixing ratio is typically 1:1.5 (e.g., 50ml of Dialight to 75ml of Diactivateur). Always refer to the product instructions for precise ratios and developer strengths.
  3. Apply the mixture evenly to the hair using an applicator brush or bottle.

Compatibility:

  • Dialight is designed to be used with L'Oréal Professionnel Diactivateur developers (1.5% / 5 vol or 3% / 10 vol).
  • It can be used in conjunction with L'Oréal permanent color lines like Majirel, Inoa, or Luocolor for color matching services.
  • Do not use with a peroxide developer higher than 10 volume.

Care:

  • After rinsing the color, use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner.
  • To maintain color vibrancy and hair condition, avoid excessive heat styling and use heat protectant sprays.
  • Allow at least 48 hours between coloring and shampooing to let the color fully settle.
  • Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
