Product Information

Full details

The Davines A New Colour Hydrogen Peroxide Hair Colour Activator Lotion (40 vol) is designed for professional hair colorists and salon technicians who require a reliable catalyst for high-lift permanent color applications. Its primary benefit is a specialized formulation that ensures precise, drip-free application while maintaining hair integrity and hydration during the color process; however, because this is a 40 vol (12%) developer, it is potent and intended strictly for professional use to avoid potential scalp or hair damage if handled incorrectly.

FAQs

Can I use this developer with other brands of hair color?

No. This product is specifically formulated to be used with the Davines A New Colour range to ensure chemical compatibility and predictable results.

Is 40 vol suitable for all hair types?

No. 40 vol is a high-strength developer intended for significant lift. It should be used with caution on fine, damaged, or bleached hair.

How do I store the activator?

Store in a cool, dark environment with the cap tightly secured to maintain chemical stability.

Does this developer contain ammonia?

The developer itself is the oxidizing agent. Always consult the specific A New Colour pigment tube instructions regarding the ammonia-free status of the total system.

Can this be used for grey coverage?

Typically, lower volume developers are preferred for grey coverage. Consult your salon technical manual for the appropriate developer choice based on the percentage of grey hair.

Troubleshooting

Color mixture feels too thin or runny

Ensure you are using the correct ratio of pigment to developer as specified in the professional guide. If it still feels thin, whisk the mixture thoroughly for an additional 30 seconds.

Uneven color lift

Verify that the product was applied in thin, even sections to ensure full saturation. Uneven lift is often caused by insufficient product volume on specific strands.

Developer potency seems reduced

Check the expiration date on the bottle and ensure the cap has been kept tightly sealed. Peroxide loses effectiveness over time if exposed to air or heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adherence prevents product waste and messy drips
  • Leaves hair feeling softer compared to standard high-volume developers
  • Professional-grade stability ensures predictable color results
  • Large 900ml volume is cost-effective for salon environments

Cons

  • High 40 volume concentration requires careful monitoring to prevent over-processing
  • Strictly intended for professional salon use only
  • Not suitable for use with non-compatible color lines

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always measure the activator precisely according to the mixing ratio specified on your Davines A New Colour permanent cream tubes. Use a non-metallic bowl and brush for mixing, as metallic tools can cause oxidation of the developer.

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the peroxide. Always keep the cap tightly sealed after use to prevent evaporation or loss of potency. Because this is a chemical agent, it should only be handled while wearing protective salon gloves and in a well-ventilated area.
