40 Vol (12%) provides the maximum lift and is used for high-lift services. For up to 3 levels of lift, use 30 Vol (9%).

How long does L’Oréal colour take to develop?

Most L’Oréal permanent colour develops in around 35 minutes, but always follow the timing on the colour pack for the specific shade and service.
