Touche Chromatique Kerastase FAQ:
-
What is the colour correction?
A beauty favourite of bloggers and Instagrammers, colour-correcting makeup products relies on the complementarity of colours. For instance, to neutralize redness on your skin, you have to apply a green formula (green cancels red in the color wheel).
-
What is the technology used in Touche Chromatique?
Touche Chromatique contains direct dyes that provides a lasting colour by neutralizing unwanted undertones. These dyes were chosen because they bind to coloured hair: used by leading hair colourists, these dyes are truest to the shade of the hair and protect the fiber.
-
How many shades of Touche Chromatique exist?
There are 4 shades: Cool Blond (Violet formula) neutralizes unwanted yellow reflects or undertones for an enhanced cool blond.
Cool Brown (Green formula) neutralizes unwanted red/red-orange reflects or undertones for an enhanced cool brown
Copper enhances copper reflects for a revived copper-hair result.
Red enhances red reflects for a revived red-hair result.
-
How to choose the right shade?
After performing a thorough diagnosis in salon, the hairdresser will be able to recommend you the right shade of Touche Chromatique to use, and will give you all the usage recommendations
-
When should I start using Touche Chromatique?
You should start using Touche Chromatique from the third week after colouration to the last week of the colouration cycle. (The week before your next colour visit)
-
How often should I apply Touche Chromatique?
Thanks to the lasting power of direct dyes, only one weekly application is necessary to assure an homogeneous result and avoid overload on the fiber. On average, every third shampoo.
-
Does Touche Chromatique allow spacing colorations?
Touche Chromatique corrects reflects, provides the hair colour with shine and radiance on lengths and ends. It does not replace colouration but allows you to maintain a vibrant colour and a beautiful hair texture for longer, in between two colourations.
-
Do I have to perform a skin test before applying Touche Chromatique?
It is not necessary to perform a skin test. Touche Chromatique is applied on colour-treated hair. Moreover, it’s only applied on the lengths, and must not get in touch with the scalp.
-
Why two products to mix?
This mix provides the ultimate concentration of direct dyes and ensures the unequalled performance of Reflection masques in terms of colour-correction as well as in terms of care: a beautiful hair texture provided by the smoothing and softening agents to protect the fiber integrity.
-
Is it possible to prepare the mix in advance?
Touche Chromatique must be freshly mixed, just before the application in order to ensure the efficacy of the direct dyes and to ensure the desired shade.
-
Can I mix Touche Chromatique with another masque or conditioner?
Mixing Touche Chromatique with another masque or fondant than those mentioned is not recommended in order to preserve maximum colour protection. Fondant Chromatique can be used with Touche Chromatique. Like with Masque Chromatique, the same tools must be used and the leave-in time (5 mins) as well as mix ratio must be respected. Only a weekly application is necessary with the Fondant.
-
Is it possible to mix the Touche Chromatique directly in the masque jar?
Touche Chromatique should not be mixed directly in the masque jar because the ratio would not be respected and the result not assured. This mix could exceed the recommended quantity of Touche Chromatique.
-
What happens if I add too much of Touche Chromatique to the masque?
The result will be too intense or the neutralization too strong. The risk of staining hands is higher. The recommended ratio was tested to provide the best of colour correction and care, to get a natural and enhanced result.
-
On the contrary, what happens if I don’t add enough Touche Chromatique to the masque?
The result is not going to be visible enough, and the neutralization performance will be less effective.
-
What is the leave-in time?
The direct dyes technology is very concentrated and efficient, only a 5-minute leave-in is necessary to achieve a perfect result. Exceeding the application time can lead to a result that is too intense or to irregularities in the colour.
-
Does Touche Chromatique stain hands?
Touche Chromatique does not stain hands, if you follow the instructions. Legal authorization confirms that gloves are not mandatory to use Touche Chromatique, at home or in salon. In case you apply the direct dyes on your hands or skin, rinse it directly with water.
-
What happens if I apply Touche Chromatique on dry hair?
Touche Chromatique is more effective and better absorbed by wet hair. An application on dry hair can lead to irregularities and will increase the quantity of product required.
-
What happens if I apply only Touche Chromatique without the Masque?
Touche Chromatique must not be applied without the masque. Because of the direct dyes, the result is going to be too intense. The mask nourishes the hair and provides shine to the colour as well as a multi-protection.
-
The reflect is too intense, how can I reduce it?
The direct dyes are eliminated by shampooing the hair. If the reflect is too intense, you should apply a neutral shampoo on your dry hair and perform a massage on the lengths. Rinse and apply Masque Chromatique.
-
Is Touche Chromatique going to change my current hair colour?
Touche Chromatique will not change the current hair colour but revive and prolong a faded colour and/or neutralize an unwanted reflect. Follow the dosage and application instructions to get the most perfect result.
-
Can I apply Touche Chromatique on roots?
Touche Chromatique must not be applied on roots. If necessary, use a comb in order to apply the mix as near to the roots as possible.
