EXOTHERMIC TECHNOLOGY
The CALURA exothermic system is an innovative technology that was designed to maximize dye
penetration and minimize hair damage. Each shade was formulated to generate a specific increase in
temperature to achieve desired results. The temperature increase varies from about +4°C (+7°F) to
about +11°C (+19°F ), opening the cuticle gently ensuring optimal dye penetration. As a bonus, this
heat allows a thorough penetration of the certified organic essences and keratin found in CALURA’s
unique formula. The outcome is unparalleled and radiant shine!

CALURA Exothermic Technology
Ammonia Based Colour
BENEFITS
4
- Covers 100% of grey hair, even in the case of resistant grey hair
- Allows gentle lift of up-to 5 levels
- Offers superior dye penetration for uniform results
- Offers superior penetration of organic essences and keratin for ultimate shine
- Offers superior conditioning of the hair
- Provides a pleasant temperature on the scalp when being applied
AMMONIA & PPD FREE
The era of ammonia based colour is coming to an end. The lingering unpleasant smell ammonia
produces in salons is a thing of the past. Now your salon can offer an agreeable, safe and comfortable
environment for an all around positive client experience.
CALURA offers unparalleled vibrancy and a reduction in alkaline forces thanks to its exothermic
technology.
In addition, it is completely PPD* free! PPD* is a chemical compound found in most permanent hair
colours; it can cause mild to severe allergic reactions.
*PPD = P-Phenylenediamine
BENEFITS
- Superior shine and conditioning
- Superior scalp comfort
- Pleasant fragrance and better air quality resulting in a healthier salon environment
At Oligo Professionnel we care about your health, as well as the environment.
It is for these reasons we created the AFP program. This program was created
to help you show your clients that you care by making the decision to use an
ammonia-free hair colour.

PURE CERTIFIED
ORGANIC ESSENCES
The purest organic essences have been carefully selected to be included in CALURA’s unique
formula. These essences have been chosen for their known benefits to the hair and scalp. They are
USDA certified ensuring that they are free of contaminants (pesticides, herbicides, solvents).
Additionally, organic agriculture farming methods were used to grow and extract these essences,
thus respecting the environment and promoting fair relationships and a good quality of life for all
involved.
CALURA contains the 4 following organic essences :
Organic Avocado Oil
Natural properties protect against free radicals
Treats the hair fiber
Properties of hydration and porosity equalizer
Organic Evening Primrose Oil
Protects the hair and scalp
Helps keep moisture inside the cortex
Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil
Antioxidant that helps distribute the pigments uniformly within the cortex
Contributes to the longevity of colour and provides ultimate shine
Organic Shea Butter
Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
Improves shine and overall appearance of hair
Protects hair against hot styling tools and chemical treatments
6
KERATIN
Hair is constantly exposed to the aggressive elements of the environment; pollution, exposure
to sunlight, chemical treatments and mechanical manipulation are all causes of dull and dry
hair, making it more vulnerable to further damage.
The keratin included in CALURA’s formula is solely derived from a protein contained in wool
from New Zealand. This keratin, of the highest quality, protects the hair’s own natural keratin
as well as provides antioxidants that protect it from environmental elements.
The result is healthy, shiny and strong hair.

GREY COVERAGE
CALURA offers a choice of 4 grey coverage series. With its unique technology, CALURA allows for 100%
grey coverage, even on resistant grey hair, in an ammonia-free environment. Each series was formulated to
meet a specific need and achieve a unique result. These shades can be used alone, mixed with each other or
with a fashion shade.

Intermix to maintain intensity. Will achieve neutral cool results.
Intermix to achieve maximum depth and rich result. Will achieve warm results

Fashion shades do not cover grey hair and must be mixed with a shade of similar level from any of the 4 grey
coverage series. The mixing proportions are as follows:
25% grey hair = 75% fashion shade + 25% grey coverage shade
50% grey hair or more = 50% fashion shade + 50% grey coverage shade
OTHER POINTS TO CONSIDER
- For optimal coverage, do not use a shade with a level
lighter than an 8.
- The minimum processing time is 35-45 minutes.
- For resistant grey hair, use a 30 volume.

TONERS
TONING PRE-LIGHTENED HAIR
Toning pre-lightened hair is a step that is performed after lightening hair to either neutralize undesired warmth,
deposit a hue or both.
Always tone with a 10 vol. developer. Processing time is 3-10 minutes.
1- Always pre-lighten to desired target level
2- Apply toner on damp hair. Doing so allows for better control
3- Pre-lightened hair is very porous. Supervise process as toner may work quickly
4- To reduce speed of toner add clear to formula
5- If lightening result is platinum choose neutral or warmer tone
6- Do not shampoo hair after toner. Rinse toner and apply Alcove Cuticle Sealer, let process for 5 minutes and rinse

It is not necessary to always tone the hair after decolourization. If needed, choose a cool shade to
neutralize any warmth left from lightening.
After decolourization the hair is generally porous, therefore choose a shade 1 level lighter than
the target shade. Always do a strand test first to determine processing time.
BLACKLIGHT CARE
Highlighting and bleaching treatments not only strip pigments from the hair but also amino acids. For that reason
highlighted and bleached hair is often dry, brittle, limp, unmanageable and very porous. The Blacklight solution is a
sulfate-free system that infuses amino acids back into the hair, resulting in healthier, smoother and more manageable
hair. Its unique formula moisturizes, repairs and smooths hair as well as increase colour retention.
