FAQs
What is the difference between Igora Royal and other hair colours?
Igora Royal offers high-definition colour results with uncompromising coverage and up to 50% longer colour retention, providing 100% reliability and enhanced vibrancy.
Can I use this colour to lighten my hair?
Igora Royal is a permanent hair colour designed to deposit colour and cover grey. It does not have lightening properties. For lifting, a separate bleaching product would be required.
What developer should I use with Igora Royal E-1 Cendre Extract?
For best results, it is recommended to use Igora Royal Oil Developer. The specific volume (e.g., 10, 20, 30) will depend on the desired level of lift and coverage.
How long does the colour last?
Igora Royal offers up to 50% longer colour retention compared to standard hair colours. Actual longevity depends on hair type, care routine, and environmental factors.
Is this product suitable for all hair types?
Yes, Igora Royal is developed for ultimate reliability, even on challenging, porous hair, when applied by a professional.
How do I prepare my hair before applying Igora Royal?
For best results, hair should typically be dry and unwashed to allow the natural oils to protect the scalp. Avoid conditioning treatments immediately before colouring.
What is the shelf life of Igora Royal colour cream?
Unopened colour cream typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Once mixed with developer, the remaining mixture should be discarded immediately and not stored.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour application
Ensure hair is properly sectioned and the colour mixture is applied thoroughly and evenly. Check that the hair was not washed immediately before application and is free of styling product residue.
Colour is too dark or too light
Verify the correct developer strength was used according to the desired outcome and the product's instructions. Ensure accurate mixing ratios were followed.
Low colour vibrancy
Confirm that the recommended Igora Royal Oil Developer was used. Ensure the hair's porosity was considered during application, and adjust processing time if necessary, following product guidelines.
Scalp irritation during application
Perform a patch test 48 hours before full application. If irritation occurs, rinse immediately with water and do not proceed with colouring. Ensure adequate ventilation.
