About Intense Blondes

Just because a client has stubborn white hairs, it shouldn’t stop them having the intense and vivid blonde hair colour they love. Free from warm or cool tones, the NXT Intense Blondes Permanent Hair Colours are clean, neutral blonde shades with a dense amount of pigment. The client gets intense colour with flawless white hair coverage; you get a client who will keep on coming back.

These shades are recommended for clients with a high percentage of white hair and deliver 100% coverage at all base shades under 9.00. The impressive white coverage is coupled with innovative anti-fade technology that creates the salon professional colour appearance that lasts until the next appointment. It works by using four plant botanicals that act as scavengers and stop residual oxygen from oxidising the colour and fading the technician’s beautiful colour work.

To use NXT professional hair colour, select your desired shade from the colour chart and mix one part colour with one part developer, then apply to clean, dry hair using a tint bowl and brush. Leave for 40 minutes to develop or adjust as per the guidelines on the pack. Gently emulsify the hair and rinse thoroughly. Always carry out a skin test before the first application of NXT Permanent Hair Colour and before applying an intense blonde shades for the first time. Apply a small amount of dye to the inner arm or behind the ear. Do not continue with the colouring process if any irritation or redness occurs.

How it works

When the Intense Blonde shade is mixed with the hydrogen peroxide (the developer) and applied to the hair, a series of chemical reactions occur to transform the hair colour. The cuticle layer of the hair is opened allowing the colour to penetrate in to the cortex, where it oxidises and swells.

It’s all down to a series of clever chemical reactions. Once the hydrogen peroxide (the developer) has been blended with the colour and it has penetrated and oxidised in the hair’s cortex, the colour molecules from the Intense Blonde shade are released into the hair shaft and the new hue is created.

The permanent colour change all happens deep in the hair’s shaft, which is oxidised by the hydrogen peroxide. Once the chemical reaction has occurIntense Blonde, colour molecules in the Intense Blonde dye are exposed to create a beautiful new shade.

To allow the Intense Blonde to change the appearance of the hair, the ammonia in the colour and hydrogen peroxide in the developer first need to penetrate the cuticle and oxidise in the cortex. Once these chemical reactions have taken place, the colour molecules create a long-lasting colour.

Colouring hair with NXT permanent shades is so simple that it can be easy to forget that there is actually some pretty clever science taking place. Once the ammonia in the colour has softened the cuticle, the hydrogen peroxide oxidises the colour pigments. Another chemical reaction sees the small colour molecules from the Intense Blonde shade deposited into the cortex which permanently changes the appearance of the hair.

The Intense Blonde shades only work when mixed with the appropriate developer. This allows the hair’s cuticle to be opened and the colour pigments to penetrate the cortex. Small colour molecules then oxidise and expand within the inside of the hair to give the appearance of a whole new hue.
