Getting the perfect colour result starts long before you apply it to your client's hair. Knowing how to mix Prorituals colour correctly is the foundation of consistent, professional results — every single time.
Understanding the Prorituals Colour System
Prorituals professional hair colour is formulated to deliver rich, long-lasting results when mixed with the correct developer. The system uses a cream colour base that blends smoothly and evenly, giving you full control over tone and depth.
Choosing the Right Developer
The developer (oxidant) you choose determines how much lift you achieve and how the colour processes:
- 10 Vol (3%) – Ideal for toning, refreshing colour, or going darker. No lift.
- 20 Vol (6%) – The most common choice. Covers grey and deposits colour with 1–2 levels of lift.
- 30 Vol (9%) – For 2–3 levels of lift. Best for lightening natural hair when mixed with colour.
- 40 Vol (12%) – Maximum lift of 3–4 levels when mixed with colour. Use with caution on strong, resistant hair.
The Mixing Ratio
Prorituals colour follows a standard 1:1 mixing ratio — one part colour to one part developer. For example, 60g of colour mixed with 60ml of developer gives you 120g of product, which is typically enough for a full head application on medium-length hair.
For longer or thicker hair, simply scale up while maintaining the 1:1 ratio.
Step-by-Step Mixing Guide
- Measure your colour into a non-metallic bowl using a scale for accuracy.
- Add the same amount of developer.
- Mix thoroughly with a tint brush until you achieve a smooth, even consistency with no streaks.
- Apply immediately — colour begins to oxidise once mixed.
Tips for Perfect Results Every Time
- Always use a fresh bowl and brush — residue from previous mixes can affect the result.
- Work quickly once mixed. Aim to apply within 5–10 minutes of mixing.
- For grey coverage, use 20 Vol and ensure thorough saturation at the roots.
- When mixing fashion shades, consider adding a small amount of a neutral shade to soften the result if needed.
