Color Chemistry

For 50 years, hair color technology has changed very little. Until now.

Advanced Coloration has completely revolutionized professional hair color to bring you the best hair color on the market and the opportunity to reduce your professional color inventory costs.

Micro-pigment technology Low ammonia Vibrant lasting color

Micro-molecule Hair Color

Hair color pigments are large macromolecules that have traditionally been refined to 89% purity. The large size of these molecules requires the cuticle be opened wide enough to allow the color molecule to penetrate the hair shaft.

Advanced Coloration’s professional hair color technology refines the color molecule to 99.8% purity. These much smaller micro-molecules can penetrate the hair shaft more easily and in greater numbers for richer, more vibrant color than you’ve ever experienced.

Ammonia

Other hair color products contain large amounts of ammonia (3-4%) or monoethanolamine (MEA). These levels are necessary to expand the hair cuticle enough to allow the large color pigments to be deposited. This causes irreparable damage and the dry, damaged hair cuticle can not retain color. Inevitably, the hair loses its color brilliancy over time.

At Advanced Coloration, we recognize that ammonia is a very effective color agent when applied correctly. Our professional hair color products use less than 0.5% ammonia – just enough to allow the tiny micro-pigments to penetrate the hair shaft. The hair cuticle is left much more intact so there is virtually no damage, no dryness, and no color fading.

Conditioning

Conditioning is a vital component of every hair color product. Other color lines use conditioning formulas to try to repair some of the cuticle damage caused by the ammonia or MEA.

Advanced Coloration’s professional hair color products don’t require the use of conditioning as a cover-up for product damage. Instead, our unique conditioning complex actually leaves the hair better conditioned than before coloring.

Our breakthrough color conditioning technology mimics the hair’s natural keratin for a radiant healthy shine.

The result: High Definition hair with luminous shine and vibrant, long-lasting color.
