Indola · Cream Developer

Indola Cream Developer Oxidant cream 2% 7 vol 1000 ml is the mildest oxidant in the Indola range. Use it when you don't want to lift the color, but just refresh or tone it. It is the right partner for dyed lengths and bleached blonde.

What it does for you

• Refreshes faded lengths and ends easily, with the PCC shade at the roots.
• Tones bleached blonde with Blonde Expert Pastel toners.
• Vivid color with Crea-Mix used alone.
• Tones bleached blonde with Pastel Gel Toner as well, which is used only with 2%.
• Smooth and easy-to-detangle hair, thanks to the conditioning ingredients in the cream.

How to use it at home

1. Put on gloves and prepare the mixing bowl and brush.
2. With PCC, mix 1:1 with the chosen shade and apply to faded lengths on dry, unwashed hair.
3. With Pastel Cream Toner, use 2% only on bleached hair; take the ratio and time from the toner instructions.
4. With Crea-Mix used alone, mix 1:1.
5. With Blonde Expert Lightener powder or Ultra Cool Booster, do not apply to the scalp. With Ultra Cool Booster, Indola uses 2% on levels 7.0 and 6.0.

For what type of hair

For dyed hair that only needs a refresh and for bleached hair that you want to tone. It does not cover white hairs or lift the color: for that you need 6% or 9%.

What else you need

• Indola PCC Permanent Hair Dye
• Blonde Expert Pastel Cream Toner
• Indola Crea-Mix Mixer
• Blonde Expert Ultra Cool Booster
• Indola Hair Dye Brush

ProBeauty Tip. If you dye your roots with 6%, do not apply the same mixture to all your hair. For lengths, prepare the shade separately with 2%: the color is refreshed, and the ends are not sensitized with every touch-up.

Indola Cream Developer Oxidant cream 12% 40 vol 1000 ml is the strongest oxidant in the Indola range. Use it only with lifting dyes: Blonde Expert Highlifts and PCC Smart Lift. It is not the oxidant for regular dyeing with PCC.

What it does for you

• Lifts 4–5 levels with Blonde Expert Highlifts shades.
• Up to 4 levels with PCC Smart Lift, lifting and toning in one step.
• Pastel shades with 12%, only mixed with Highlift (H.) shades.
• Shine that sparkles, with fresh reflections.
• Smooth and easy-to-detangle hair, thanks to the conditioning ingredients in the cream.

How to use it at home

1. Put on gloves and prepare the mixing bowl and brush.
2. With PCC Smart Lift, mix 1:1 and apply to dry, unwashed hair.
3. Leave for 45 minutes: first on the lengths and ends, then on the roots.
4. With Highlifts, follow the ratio and time in the dye instructions.
5. Rinse thoroughly and wash with a shampoo for colored hair.

For what type of hair

For natural hair that you want to take to a very light blonde with a lifting dye. It is not for covering gray hair with PCC and it is not for bleaching with powder. If you have fragile or fine hair, a 4–5 level lift is safer at the salon.

What else you need

• Blonde Expert Highlift Dye
• PCC Smart Lift Lifting Dye
• Blonde Expert Pastel Cream Toner
• Indola Mixing Bowl
• Indola Dye Brush

ProBeauty Tip. If you are not sure whether you need 9% or 12%, start with 9%. With Smart Lift, 9% already gives you up to 3 levels; 12% is only worth it when you need the fourth.

Indola Cream Developer Oxidant Cream 6% 20 vol 1000 ml is the oxidant you use most often with Indola PCC hair dye. It covers white hair, maintains or darkens the shade, and lifts by one level. It works with all permanent dyes and Indola bleach.

What it does for you

• Covers white hair when used with PCC shades.
• Tone-on-tone, darker, or one level lighter with the same oxidant.
• Color that lasts and shines, with fresh highlights.
• Smooth, detangled hair after dyeing, thanks to the conditioning ingredients in the cream.
• Blends white hair with PCC Smart Lift for a soft, light blonde.

How to use it at home

1. Put on gloves and prepare the mixing bowl and brush.
2. With PCC, mix 1:1: one 60 ml tube with 60 ml of oxidant. Apply to dry, unwashed hair and follow the processing time: 40 minutes for the first application.
3. With PCC Smart Lift, also mix 1:1 and leave on for 30 minutes.
4. With Blonde Expert Lightener powder, follow the mixing ratio in the bleach instructions and do not apply to the scalp.
5. Close the bottle tightly after use and keep it away from heat and light.

For what hair type

For regular dyeing: white hair, the same shade, darker, or one level lighter. With Pastel shades, Indola uses it on natural, uncolored hair. For 2–3 levels of lifting, you need 9%. For refreshing the lengths, use 2%.

What else you need

• Indola PCC permanent hair dye
• PCC Smart Lift lifting hair dye
• Blonde Expert Lightener 9+ bleaching powder
• Indola mixing bowl
• Indola hair dye brush

ProBeauty tip. Weigh the oxidant; do not pour it by eye. At a 1:1 ratio, one 60 ml tube of PCC requires exactly 60 ml of oxidant, and the 1000 ml bottle will last for many applications.

Indola Cream Developer Oxidant cream 9% 30 vol 1000 ml is Indola's oxidant for lifting color. With PCC dye, it lifts by 2–3 levels. You can also use it with Blonde Expert Highlifts, PCC Smart Lift, and Lightener bleaching powder.

What it does for you

• Lifts 2–3 levels with PCC shades.
• Lifts 3–4 levels with Blonde Expert Highlifts shades.
• Up to 3 levels with PCC Smart Lift, lifting and toning in one step.
• One extra level with Crea-Mix 0.00, mixed with a PCC shade.
• Smooth, detangled hair thanks to the conditioning ingredients in the cream.

How to use it at home

1. Put on gloves and prepare the mixing bowl and brush.
2. With PCC, mix 1:1: the 60 ml tube with 60 ml of oxidant. Apply to dry, unwashed hair and leave for 40 minutes on the first coloring.
3. With PCC Smart Lift, also 1:1, leave for 45 minutes.
4. With Crea-Mix 0.00, mix PCC, 0.00, and oxidant in a 1:1:2 ratio, for example 20 g, 20 g, and 40 g.
5. With Lightener or Ultra Cool Booster on levels 5.0–3.0, use the ratio from the product instructions and do not apply to the scalp.

For what hair type

For natural hair that you want to lift by a few levels or bring towards blonde. It is not for refreshing dyed lengths, where you need 2%. For 4–5 levels with Highlifts, Indola recommends 12%.

What else you need

• Indola PCC permanent hair dye
• PCC Smart Lift lifting hair dye
• Blonde Expert Highlift hair dye
• Blonde Expert Lightener 9+ bleaching powder
• Crea-Mix 0.00 mixer for one extra level
• Indola mixing bowl

ProBeauty tip. On the first coloring with 9%, follow Indola's order: first the lengths and ends, and the roots only after 10 minutes. This way, the roots will not turn out lighter than the rest of the hair.
