WHAT IS IN IT
FORMULAR
The dye pigments are suspended in a solution with castor oil added for extra moisturising benefits.
But do remember, this is a concentrate and needs to be diluted with conditioner, hair mask or shampoo in order to get the desired results.
NON-PERMANENT
Also called semi-permanent.
This means that the colour pigments in the liquid lay themselves on top of and in-between the outer layer of your hair. Imagine there are small bals of colour squeezed in small nooks and crannies on the surface of your hair.
That way they are designed to gradually wash out again.
PIGMENT
Semi-permanent dyes mean that they are ready developed pigments already and do not need to be further activated, in contrast to permanent hair dye, which you have to activate inside the the hair shaft in order for the colour to show.
CHEMICAL REACTION?
No active chemical reaction is happening on the hair, since the dye pigments lay on top of the hair shaft. No oxidant is needed.
That also means it does not change your original hair colour and structure.
FAQ - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
What is CHROMALAB's MOLECULES product?
MOLECULES is a line of semi-permanent hair toners designed to refresh, enhance or neutralise your hair colour. It works by depositing pigment onto the surface of the hair, allowing you to achieve a new shade or correct unwanted tones without the long-term commitment or potential damage associated with permanent dyes.
How does a semi-permanent toner work?
Unlike permanent hair dyes that need and active process to permanently alter the hair's structure and colour, a semi-permanent toner deposits colour pigments directly onto the outermost layer of the hair.
This process is gentle and temporary, as the colour gradually fades with each wash. It is the ideal solution for those who want to experiment with new colours or maintain their current shade.
What is the main difference between MOLECULES and permanent hair dye?
MOLECULES is a semi-permanent product that does not contain ammonia or peroxide and cannot lighten your hair. Its purpose is to deposit colour, cancel unwanted tones or or enhance a tone. Permanent dye, on the other hand, contains chemicals that open the hair cuticle to deposit colour deep within the cortex, resulting in a permanent colour change.
How do I choose the right MOLECULES colour for my hair?
To choose the right shade, you need to consider two factors: your hair's current level and the tone you want to achieve or neutralise.
If you are looking to correct unwanted tones (e.g., brassy yellow), refer to the hair colour wheel. The colour opposite your unwanted tone will neutralise it.
If you want to enhance and refresh your current hair colour nuance, choose a Molecule that has a similar tone.
Can MOLECULES be used to lighten my hair?
No, MOLECULES is a deposit-only toner and cannot lighten your hair. It does not contain bleach or other lifting agents.
To go from a darker shade to a lighter one, a bleaching or lifting hair dye is required. MOLECULES works best on hair that has already been lightened and where the dye pigments can grab onto the surface.
What happens if I leave the product on for too long?
Leaving a semi-permanent toner on for longer than the recommended time may result in a more intense or deeper colour than you originally intended.
However, because the colour is temporary, it will eventually wash out with a few shampoos.
How can I make my MOLECULES colour last longer?
To maximise the life of your colour, consider the following tips:
- Limit your hair washing to two to three times per week.
- Use a high-quality shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for colour-treated hair.
- Rinse your hair with cooler water.
- Reduce or avoid the use of heat styling tools.
- Protect your hair from the sun by wearing a hat or using a UV-filtering hair serum.
