Chroma ID are the Schwarzkopf Professional semi-permanent color masks with built-in bonding. The creamy formula contains Fibrebond Technology, which strengthens the hair fiber bonds and leaves the hair smooth. Low Salt Technology leaves more pigment available for the hair, for a more intense color. The mask contains panthenol and seals the cuticle for shine. The formula is vegan and silicone-free. All shades can be mixed together.
The shades are grouped into three categories. Color Refresh (6-46, 6-88, 7-77, 8-46) revives color that has faded by 1–2 tones. Color Neutralisation (8-19, 9-12, 9.5-1, 9.5-19, 9.5-4) neutralizes brassy tones on blonde and light brown hair. Color Play (Red, Pink, Purple, Blue) is for playful colors, while Clear only adds shine. The numbering is aligned with Igora Royal and Igora Vibrance. If you want to cover gray hair or radically change the color, you need a permanent dye.
Chroma ID is not mixed with an oxidant: you apply it directly, either alone or combined. Wear gloves and spread it evenly over washed and towel-dried hair. Leave on for 10 minutes: 5 for a subtle result, up to 20 for an intense one. Then rinse thoroughly. The color lasts 10–15 washes, depending on the shade, time, and hair. Between applications, wash your hair with Bonacure Color Freeze, the range for color-treated hair.
