MC2 is a permanent oxidative hair dye from Sensus, ammonia-free. The formula contains no PPD, parabens, silicones, or added resorcinol. It provides 100% grey coverage and lifts the color by up to 3 levels. The ARC complex, with plant-based amino acids, helps restructure the hair fiber. Quinoa and acai berries moisturize and add shine. In the technical guide, Sensus states that MC2 is for professional use only.
The range has two lines. MC2 is the classic color, with a processing time of 30–55 minutes, depending on the activator. MC2 Fast Color is the quick version, designed for a coloring service in just 10 minutes. It also provides 100% grey coverage, ammonia-free. The two are not to be mixed. You need Sensus Lux Activator or Cream Activator. For Fast Color, the guide indicates Cream Activator.
Mix MC2 with the activator in a 1:1.5 ratio, for example, 40 g of dye and 60 g of activator. Choose 3%, 6%, 9%, or 12%, depending on how much you want to lift. The Super High Lift series is mixed 1:2, with 12% only. For touch-ups, apply the color only to the roots and respect the processing time of the chosen activator. Apply the color with a brush, without rubbing it into the hair. At the end, wash with an Illumyna Tech shampoo and an acidic mask. Perform the allergy test according to the instructions on the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix MC2 with MC2 Fast Color?
No. The MC2 Fast Color guide clearly states that the formula and method of use differ. Mixing with MC2 or other dyes reduces the results. Use each line with its own ratio and processing time.
What ratio do I use for MC2 Fast Color?
With Cream Activator, you have three ratios. 1:1 provides intense root coverage, while 1:1.5 provides quick and shiny coverage. 1:2 is for toning the lengths. Leave for 10 minutes, without a heat source.

Do not color if the scalp is sensitive, irritated, or injured.
