Switchback Color: Baroque His Heart
Aloxxi
Aloxxi launches its Andiamo Express Permanent Colour line. Available in 12 shades ranging from Haute Cioccolato 2N as the darkest and Tuscan Sunlight 11N as the brightest, Aloxxi says the line deposits vibrant color with gray coverage and conditioning ingredients to hair in just 10 minutes.
This speedy process time is thanks to the line’s Turbo Dye Technology, which increases pigment concentration so a higher concentration of dyes are deposited. The calibrated dye coupler formula regulates the dye oxidation pace to ensure consistent, on-point color results for up to four levels of lift. In addition, illipe butter provides conditioning, shine and manageability.
According to Aloxxi, clients can be processed, washed and dried in about an hour with these techniques using Andiamo.
