Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to common questions about L'Oréal Professionnel hair colour.
Permanent hair colour penetrates the hair shaft for long-lasting results and 100% grey coverage.
Demi-permanent colour is gentler, typically ammonia-free, and fades gradually, making it ideal for blending greys, toning, or adding high shine.
For L'Oréal Professionnel, the standard recommendations are:
L'Oréal Professionnel Oxydant (Majirel):
12.5vol (%): For up to 1 level of lift and colour deposit on previously coloured hair.
20 Vol (6%): For standard grey coverage and up to 2 levels of lift and colouring on the same level.
30 Vol (9%): For up to 3 levels of lift.
iNOA Oil Developer:
10 Vol (3%): For colour deposit on previously coloured hair.
20 Vol (6%): For standard grey coverage, up to 2 levels of lift and Colouring on the same level.
30 Vol (9%): For up to 3 levels of lift.
Diactivateur (Dia Light/Dia color):
6 Vol (1.8%): For soft colour deposit or sensitised hair.
9 Vol (2.7%): For standard colour deposit.
15 Vol (4.5%): Exclusively used with Dia color for up to 1 level of lift or reinforced grey blending.
Mixing ratios vary by technology. Here is the technical guide for our core portfolio:
- Majirel (Permanent): 1 : 1.5 (e.g., 60ml colour + 90ml L'Oréal Professionnel OTT Cream Oxydant)
- iNOA (Ammonia-free ODS): 1 : 1 (e.g., 60g colour + 60g iNOA Oil Developer)
- Dia Light (Acidic Demi): 1 : 1.5 (e.g., 60ml colour + 90ml Diactivateur)
- Dia Richesse (Alkaline Demi): 1 : 1.5 (e.g., 60ml colour + 90ml Diactivateur)

Ammonia Ranges (e.g., Majirel): Used in traditional formulas for deep, powerful pigment penetration and high performance. There are also technologies such as the Odour Trapping Technology (OTT) that do help reduce the smell to provide a more enjoyable experience.
Ammonia-Free Ranges (e.g., iNOA): Ideal for clients with sensitive scalps or those who prefer a completely odourless experience. This range utilizes high-performance Oil Delivery System (ODS) technology to deliver rich colour.
