A SKIN ALLERGY TEST MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE EACH APPLICATION OF ANY HAIR COLORANT. FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LEAFLET. PREPARATION Measure 1 part of INOA colorant using the skin allergy test spoon and use the spatula to scrape the contents into a non-metallic mixing bowl Measure 2.5 parts of INOA Oleo Gel using the skin allergy test spoon and use the spatula to scrape the contents into a non-metallic mixing bowl Mix the 2 products thoroughly in a non-metallic bowl with the spatula Wear suitable disposable gloves during the preparation, application and rinsing of the product 28 Application Remove earings ehind the ear and using a cotton bud apply enough of the mixture B to cover an area 1-2 cm² Re-apply allowing it to dry between applications Leave for 48 hours without washing, covering or touching If during this period you or your clients notice any abnormal reaction such as intense itching, redness or swelling around the test area DO NOT APPLY THE COLORANT. 29 10 FAQ 1. What are the 3 components of INOA and what do they contain? 2. Why do I need 3 elements for INOA but only 2 with Classic technology? HAIR COLORANT Concentrated colorants INOA provides a new approach to the delivery of colour into the hair. Classic oxidative hair colour is hydrophilic which means it likes water. Therefore we can have a hair colour tube that contains the aqueous support and the active hair colour ingredients. Alkaline agent OLEO GEL Mineral Oil (Part 1 of the Oil Delivery System – ODS) ctive clay (that acts as a thickener to ensure a A smooth mixture) kin protecting agent (known for its soothing S performance on sensitive skin) RICH OXYDANT Mineral Oil (Part 2 of the Oil Delivery System – ODS) Hydrogen peroxide The INOA, Oil Delivery System (ODS) is based on a hydrophobic support, meaning without water and contains a high concentration of oil. The active hair colour ingredients do not like oil and cannot be kept in the same tube as the hydrophobic support. Therefore INOA, with the Oil Delivery System (ODS) has 3 elements. 3. Why do I need 2 tubes for 1 application? The need for 2 tubes of the concentrated colorants allows the mixing of a fashion shade with a corresponding Natural Basic for perfect coverage of over 70% white hair. Additionally, 2 tubes allows for the intermixing of 2 shades and ultimate creativity. 1 application = 2 x 8g tubes 4. How do I mix INOA? To prepare 1 application on INOA mix: 40g of Oleo gel 0g of Rich Oxydant 20 or 30 vol. (20 vol. to cover 6 white hair or lighten up to 2 levels and 30 vol. to lighten up to 3 levels) 2 x 8g tubes Ionène G 30 5. Is the numbering of INOA shades the same as that of Majirel? Yes, it is identical. As with existing classic technology such as Majirel, with INOA there are up to 3 numbers that represent the depth, primary and secondary reflects. 9 Very light Blonde 8 Light Blonde 7 Blonde 6 Darkest Blonde 5 Light Brown 4 Brown 3 Dark Brown 2 Darkest Brown 1 Black Blue ,1 Ash Light blue ,01 Natural Ash Light mauve ,02 iridescent Green ,7 Cool Mauve ,2 iridescent Light green ,7 Natural Cool Mahogany ,5 Mahogany Light yellow ,03 Natural Golden Yellow ,3 Golden Red ,6 Red Light orange ,04 Natural Copper Orange ,4 Copper 31 6. Can we mix 2 shades? Yes. The 8g tubes allow you to mix a fashion shade with a corresponding Natural Basic shade for coverage of over 70% white hair. Example: 1 tube of 6 + 1 tube of 6,45 Alternatively, all shades can be intermixed to achieve unlimited colour results when not covering over 70% white hair. Example: 1 tube of 6,34 + 1 tube of 8,34 = 7,34 7. If I don’t find 2 shades I want from INOA, can I mix INOA with shades from another brand? No. As the technology within INOA, the Oil Delivery System (ODS) is completely different to existing classic technology it is not possible to mix shades from the 2 brands and achieve a desirable colour result. 8. Is a skin allergy test essential when using INOA? Yes. As with all hair colour a skin allergy test is required prior to an application of INOA (see Skin Allergy Test). 9. For the white hair coverage, why can’t a Golden Basic be used? 11. Why do I need INOA Post Shampoo and is this mandatory? The INOA reflections are pure and do not lose their intensity when mixed with a Natural Basic. The natural shades are also authentic and do not modify the purity of the reflection when mixed. Therefore with INOA we do not have Golden Basic shades, as they are not needed in order to obtain a luminous reflect. Yes. INOA Post Shampoo is specifically designed to remove an oil-based coloration. As INOA contains the Oil Delivery System (ODS), it is very important the the correct shampoo is used to ensure removal and optimum colour results. 10. Should I emulsify before rinsing? IMPORTANT: when using INOA absolutely no water should be used during the initial emulsion phase. You must emulsify before rinsing, since the methodology is different from that of classic technology. To be completed at the styling station Begin by carrying out a gentle, dry emulsification at the styling station (without water) to ensure that all colour is loose on the hair. 12. Is there a difference between the colour result of Majirel and that of INOA? If we apply an INOA colour to a Majirel client will the client see the difference? Clients will see a very similar colour result, however they will also notice the benefits attributed to the optimised respect for the hair that INOA provides. Additionally clients will also benefit from optimised scalp comfort and an odourless colour experience. To be completed at the backwash Once the colour has been completely loosened on the hair, continue to emulsify by adding a little water. After a few moments, rinse thoroughly until water runs clear.
