hi all
Our usual wholesaler does not stock Olaplex how ever they stock a few cheaper alternatives and, as they would, believe them to be 'much better results and more cost effective'
These are called Zerran, Colorphlex and Color Secret.
Been having a bash at Zerran this week and the instructions mention nothing of changing developer strengths however when I used 30vol on highlights it didn't lift to a nice colour, more like a yellow/orange as opposed to using without the Zerran.
I used 40vol today with Zerran to see what difference it would make and I WISH I DIDN'T!!! I very very rarely use 40vol although some years ago I did, so I know the results it can give and also the undesirables that come with it!! (Brittle, breakage)
The product was left to develop no longer than what I would without Zerran.
Hair is very dry, slight breakage, my client understands the risks going from dark brown to blonde. This is her 3rd full head of highlights (previous 2 were used with 30vol no Zerran).
Does anyone else have any experience with any of these products? Ideally, using Zerran? What are your thoughts..? And any reviews or recommendations for Colourphlex or Color Secret? Will be purchasing Olaplex eventually but I'm not quite ready to part with nearly £300 when the majority of my clients would look at me daft if I charged £15-£20 more for a splash of something new...
