Whats this called? - 17-06-08, 12:53 PM

I have seen it years ago in a salon but forget the name and brand....
It comes in tubes say, red, blue, yellow for example as I dont know what colours there are but only about 5.
You would use the blue one for blonde highlights, its applied then put under heat for only a very short time less than 10 mins I believe.
Someone put me out of my misery and tell me what it is!!

oh i know what it is, we use it i think, it has a fine fragrance too, u mix a powder an acitvator and one of the colours, i belive the green smells like mint, the purple like grape etc etc etc if it the product we use, it called colour graphics, it isnt like bleach tho because u need the heat to activate it. . x

yes you can use it with foils we used it a few years ago excellent, would only take if it was under heat.
we used the socolors as well when we first opened, there made by matrix i think. excellent product, but expensive.thg

Well Im just wondering if its an option on my own hair for my highlights, I currently use magma. Its just a thought as I can remember back to someone telling me they had that on their hair and it was a lovely shade of blonde, more platinum than brassy!

This sounds very good and really interesting , I have used coloureyese which is a powder bleach and you can get it in red , orange yellow, and blue sachets

I only ever used the red sachet which was pretty good for lift and deposit red tones on highlights
the blue sachet I think was for ashen tones , yellow for gold tones ect

I guess its just like the magma ,

I have never seen those tubes though in the wholsalers so I guess you would have to order from a rep then ?

there is also a fab colour I liked by Lisap it is like a high lift tint but you only need 6% with it and it works just like the Maji contrast does it gives a good lift and deposit , they had loads of different tones too
I dont know if it is still on the market though x

I think you are on about Matrix color grafix. I used to used this to get a great strawberry blonde.ou can use it without heat and it is essentially a bleach with a tone.
