DATEM™ Technology
OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
DATEM™ is a revolution in hair colour technology and is unique to Affinage. This groundbreaking technology makes Affinage colour products kinder, faster (by allowing the use of heat without damaging the hair or scalp) and more effective.
DATEM™ Technology at Work DATEM™ encapsulates the oxygen, reducing the action of the free radicals. The encapsulated oxygen is transported into the cortex of the hair by gently separating the bonds between the keratin chains. Once there the oxygen is released and the lifting process and deposit of the permanent pigment begins. When DATEM™ is used in Dynamics and HotShotz, where no oxidisation occurs, it allows much deeper penetration of the pigment and the conditioning base. This results in a longer lasting colour and a superior finish to the hair. DATEM™ can be found in the following products: Infiniti • Infiniti Satin • Intensives • bRED • Refresher • HotShotz Colour Dynamics • Spectrum • Blonde • Eraser
Free Radicals In chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atomic or molecular species with unpaired electrons which can be created in many different ways (UV rays, pollution, intense sunlight, oxygen processes). They are very reactive and cause damage to the chemical compounds in our body (i.e. proteins, DNA). And when we are working with oxidation-based products it causes damage to the cuticle and scalp. DATEM™ in our products encapsulates the oxygen and releases it inside the hair thus drastically reducing the creation of free radicals.

PERMANENT HAIR COLOUR CREME
The World’s Most Advanced Permanent Hair Colour Créme with DATEM™ Technology. Infiniti Permanent Hair Colour Créme uses our unique DATEM™ Technology to penetrate deeper and faster into the hair shaft with significantly less damage to the cuticle. The pH level steadily decreases throughout the colour process, locking in the colour molecule to give intense, long lasting results and 100% grey coverage in just 25 minutes (with heat). Infiniti’s ultra-low ammonia content and emulsion créme base reduce the risk of sensitivity, whilst the incredible lift action allows the use of much lower volumes of developer. Infiniti’s gentle formulation with UV filters and Protein Protectors ensures that the hair is left in beautiful condition, producing clean blondes, vibrant reds, or soft natural tones.
Why use Infiniti? 1.

2.
DATEM™ Technology Allows Fast Processing - 25 Minutes With Gentle Heat
3.
Resistance To Fade
The exceptional covering power of Infiniti is due to DATEM™ Technology and the specially formulated Emulsion Base. The special Infiniti base with DATEM™ Technology, moisturises the hair and penetrates deep into the cortex, taking with it the colour molecules. This ensures 100% coverage of white hair and maintains the strength of the hair structure.
DATEM™ Technology is unique in the way it allows the use of gentle heat to accelerate the colouring process with no damage to hair or scalp. The use of gentle heat is even recommended when using 9%(30vol) and 12%(40vol) Créme Developer with 12. series (high lift Arctic blondes). 30 minute processing time. The use of heat will not compromise the result or lasting power of our products. Do not cover whilst processing.
Whether natural or fashion colours are required, it is important they do not fade between applications. One of the main causes of changes in colour is the exposure to air and light. Oxygen in the hair creates creeping oxidation.
Technical Manual
Infiniti Permanent Hair Colour Crème
Fade also occurs because light contains ultra violet radiation. This can cause fading by ‘bleaching’ the colour out of the hair. Due to DATEM™ Technology, Infiniti will penetrate deeper into the cortex without causing damage to the cuticle layer. This will prevent the new colour from fading. Infiniti also contains UV filters which reduce harmful rays and special buffers to control creeping oxidation, producing longer lasting colour results.
4.
Low Levels of Ammonia and Reducing pH Very low levels of ammonia are made possible due to the inclusion of DATEM™ Technology. The reducing pH of Infiniti results in long lasting, shiny results. Buffering agents in the emulsion créme base counter the negative effects of strong alkalinity and control the pH during processing. When mixed, the ammonia levels of Infiniti are lower due to dilution with Créme Developer. See table below: Shades

Health and Safety
A permanent hair colour must have good lifting power in order for the colour result to be even: permanent hair colour first lifts some of the natural pigment before depositing new colour. Even black must first lift the natural pigment before depositing colour. INFINITI HAS THE RIGHT BALANCE. INFINITI WILL LIFT HIGHER WITH 6%(20vol) THAN MANY OF ITS COMPETITORS USING 9%(30vol).
Infiniti mixes easily to a smooth crème consistency. When mixed, Infiniti has the right consistency to allow the product to stay where it is needed and to allow the product to spread easily. Always ensure you measure the correct quantities of colour and Créme Developer for perfect results. Weigh Infiniti using the Affinage Electronic Balance for most accurate results.
Infiniti has been formulated to create a colour to meet the demands of the professional hairdresser. Infiniti is produced by professionals for professionals and their clients.
Infiniti uses the safest possible ingredients to meet the strict Health and Safety guidelines of the hairdressing world.
Important Note - for Professional Use Only. It is recommended to always wear protective gloves when using any chemical product. Colour products can occasionally cause an allergic reaction and a prior skin test is always advisable when permanent hair (or tone on tone) colour is to be used. Do not use to dye eyelashes or eyebrows. Rinse immediately if product comes into contact with the eyes. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Affinage Skin Test Method Affinage recommend a skin test before every colour application. Mix small amount of chosen shade with appropriate developer to be used on client. Apply to forearm or behind ear. Leave for 45 minutes, rinse. Look for reaction after 24 and 48 hours. If any irritation or reaction occurs do not apply colour.
Skin Test Procedure The references given demonstrate conditions, applications and examples of use of the techniques according to the COLIPA* guidelines. Whilst some of the references concern finished products, they are equally applicable to the testing of cosmetic ingredients. Exposure times and concentrations are presented only as illustrations.

* COLIPA is the European Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association, established in1962.
Its objectives are:
• To provide expertise and support to a range of working groups dealing in scientific, economic, fiscal, legal, consumer and environmental issues. • To assist members in complying with European Union legislation affecting cosmetic industry products and operations. • To act as an industry voice working with both international authorities and organisations. Additionally, COLIPA provides a worldwide perspective to its members through its relationships with equivalent organisations in the USA and Japan. • To serve as a communication and information centre for the European cosmetic industry, Strengthening the industry’s position through continuous interaction with its members.
Infiniti Numbering System The Infiniti numbering system follows the International Colour Code (I.C.C.) allowing the colourist to identify each colour, depth and tone. In the I.C.C. the number before the point indicates the depth (how light or dark). The number after the point indicates the primary tone that is added to the shade. The second number indicates the secondary tone which subdues or enhances the primary tone. The third number (where applicable) is the tertiary tone which again can enhance or subdue the other tones. For example: When using the shade 6.652 - .6 is the primary tone, .5 is the secondary tone and .2 would be described as the tertiary tone (pronounced ter·ti·ary). Tertiary means third in line.

Client Consultation and Colour Selection • Identify the natural depth and percentage of white hair. • Determine if the hair has had any previous chemical services. • Select the target shade. • Examine hair condition and porosity. • Evaluate the lifting power of the chosen shade. • Choose the correct shade and developer strength to be applied. • Use the correct processing time.
The 70% Rule The swatches in the Infiniti shade guide are based on 70% white hair. To achieve the target shade, please follow the 70% rule below. A) Where there is 70% white hair, select the target shade. ie to achieve a 6.0 apply a 6.0 B) Where there is more than 70% white hair, select one shade darker than the target shade. ie to achieve a 6.0 apply a 5.0 C) Where there is less than 70% white hair, select one shade lighter than the target shade. ie to achieve an 6.0 apply a 7.0
Important - Retouch Application Colour Selection Please note that the heat from the scalp will cause lift. For this reason you should follow these Colour Selection rules: • When colouring tone on tone or darkening - If less than 70% white hair is present, choose target shade. Use 3%(10vol) Créme Developer. • When colouring tone on tone or darkening - If more than 70% white hair is present, choose one shade darker. Use 3%(10vol) Créme Developer. • When lightening - Choose target shade and correct developer strength (use the ‘level of lift’ guide)
White Hair Coverage Infiniti will cover 100% white hair. The fashion shades in Infiniti do not require the addition of base colours to cover white hair.
Extra Coverage with Natural Ash Shades (.01) These special shades are developed for covering resistant white hair. The .01 (Natural Ash) shades are a combination of Natural (.0) and Ash (.1) tones. When a high percentage of white or resistant white hair is present, this combination helps to increase the covering capability whilst retaining the tone of the chosen shade.
/10 Infiniti Permanent Hair Colour Crème
In the past, colourists have mixed 50% of natural tones with other shades in order to guarantee the coverage of white hair. This practice meant that if the target shade was a cool or ash shade, the addition of a Natural shade added warmth to the colour, thereby losing the desired cool ash shade. If the target shade was a warm shade ie Red or Copper, the addition of a Natural shade would decrease the intensity. The Infiniti Natural Ash .01 tones can be added to any shade including Red or Coppers in concentrations of up to 25% to guarantee coverage of white hair whilst retaining the desired tone. e.g. ¾ of target shade to ¼ of corresponding .01 shade. These .01 tones may be used alone for a Natural-Ash result if required.
Intense Mix - To increase coverage on coarse, very difficult to cover white hair, it is recommended that you mix Infiniti in a ratio of 1 part colour to 1 part developer. N.B. It may be necessary to select a lighter shade as this mix will give greater deposit and result may appear to be deeper.
Application To Pre-Washed Towel Dried Hair. Shampooing prior to application will help the penetration on coarse hair/resistant white hair.
Lifting Power of Infiniti Infiniti is formulated to enable the use of lower volumes of developer, maintaining the hair’s strength whilst still attaining perfect results. 3%(10vol) should be used for: covering white hair, increasing colour depth, darkening and colouring on the same level. Lift action is built into Infiniti so greater lift can be achieved using lower volumes of developer. Using 6%(20vol) Affinage Crème Developer, the lift power is as follows:
• When using 1.0 Black or 2.0 Very dark brown this will give ½ a level of lift. • When using 3.0 Dark brown or 4.0 Medium brown this will give 1 level of lift. • When using 5.0 Light brown or 6.0 Dark blonde this will give 1 to 2 levels of lift. • When using 7.0 Medium blonde to 10.0 Very light blonde this will give 2 to 3 levels of lift.
These levels of lift apply to all shades in the equivalent depth, i.e. 5.0 and 5.35 will both give 1 to 2 Levels of lift using 6%(20vol). The lift action for all shades is displayed vertically on the Shade Guide next to the base shades. When using 9%(30vol) Affinage Crème Developer, the lifting power is increased by a half to one level over that of 6%(20vol).
Affinage Crème Developer Affinage Crème Developer is a highly stable solution in 4 strengths - 3%(10vol), 6%(20vol), 9%(30vol) and 12%(40vol). Using Affinage Crème Developer ensures easy mixing, correct results and long lasting colour. Using other peroxides/developers can result in weak colour results and colour fade. Affinage can only guarantee results when Affinage Crème Developer is used. The chart below shows the levels of lift that can be achieved using Infiniti with Affinage Crème Developers.

Application Method When using Infiniti the correct quantity of product must be applied onto the hair. Too little product will mean insufficient lift, low colour deposit and poor coverage resulting in fade. By applying the correct quantity, the product will penetrate the hair shaft, reaching the keratin chains and produce the lifting and deposit action. Applications can be made on dry or pre-washed, towel dried hair. Some resistant white hair will accept colour better if the hair is pre-washed and towel dried. This method is also advisable when the hair is resistant to colour. Divide hair into 4 sections: from centre of forehead to nape of the neck and from ear to ear. Start from area where the percentage of white hair is highest. Apply product to thin sections taking care not to overlap previously coloured hair. When application is completed, the product must be clearly visible on the hair. When using High Lift Blondes remember to take very fine sections of hair and apply twice as much product than usual. When mixing colour using a tint brush, please use a clean brush for application to the hair.
Remember Insufficient product and/or bad application is a common cause of poor results.

DO NOT OVERLAP onto the middle lengths or ends. Process for 30 minutes with gentle heat (40 - 42°C / 104 - 108°F) At the end of the processing time add a small amount of water and emulsify the colour. Rinse until the water runs clear, shampoo and condition with Infiniti ColourCare Shampoo and Conditioner.
Application To White Hair: 12. SERIES Where more than 25% white hair is present: 12.1, 12.23 or 12.2 should be mixed with 12.0 or 12.0s in equal amounts to prevent unwanted ash tones, e.g. 50g/1.69oz of 12.1 + 50g/ 1.69oz of 12.0s + 200g/6.7oz of Affinage Crème Developer.
High Lift Booster 12.0s 12.0s
May be used to INCREASE the lift of High Lift Arctic Blondes by up to 1 shade, by adding 25% of 12.0s, without affecting the tonal value. E.g. 75g/2.53oz 12.1 + 25g/0.84oz 12.0s + 200g/6.76oz Affinage Crème Developer .
12.0s
Will give 1 - 2 levels of lift when used on its own with Affinage Crème Developer 9%(30vol) 1 - 2 mix. E.g. 25g/0.84oz of 12.0s - 50g/1.7oz of Affinage Crème Developer 9%(30vol)
Infiniti 3.66 - New Formula Market demands have lead to a reformulated 3.66 for increased red tones and extra vibrancy.
Hints & Tips for use A) On very light natural hair, or on 70% - 100% white hair, we recommend that 3.66 should be mixed with 3.0 in the ratio 3 parts 3.66 to 1 part 3.0 and mix with 3%(10vol) Affinage Créme Developer B) On a natural base 6 and darker with up to 50% grey, 3.66 alone with 3%(10vol) will give an excellent result. C) Fashion Hint - a feature of this stunning shade is that on a dark natural base you can pre-lighten slices and then apply 3.66 to the whole head to give a deep and intense 3.66 result but with strong vibrant red slices.

OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
PERMANENT HAIR COLOUR CREME
Infiniti Gothic Collection For Colour Deposit Only - No Lift Action The Infiniti Gothic Collection is an innovative range of 5 permanent grey and black shades, from pure platinum to deepest black. The Gothic Collection is designed to be used with 3%(10vol) Affinage Crème Developer. The grey shades are formulated for use on natural white/grey hair where no lift is required. This non-lifting range solely deposits colour. Gothic Black 1.117 has been created to give the deepest fashion effects on all hair colours. The grey shades within this collection may also be used on any pre-lightened white hair to give high fashion effects/grey shades. Mix as stated below. Use full recommended processing times.
Mixing 1 part Gothic shade to 1.5 parts 3%(10vol) Affinage Crème Developer, e.g. 50g/1.7g of Gothic shade to 75g/2.53oz of Affinage Crème Developer 3%(10vol).
Processing Time 45 minutes on natural white/grey hair (no heat). 25 minutes (gentle heat 40 - 42°C / 104 - 108°F).
Hints and Tips 1. To achieve ‘Salt and Pepper’ low lights, use 4.117 and/or 6.117 on natural white hair. Because the traditional method of using natural colours with added ash for this effect sometimes results in the colour turning ‘warm’ after several weeks in the hair, the Gothic Collection 4.117 and 6.117 are the ideal choice. 2. Converter is ideal for use with the Gothic Collection but may result in a slightly less strong colour result (Mix: 1 part Gothic shade to 2 parts Converter). 3. The Gothic Collection is also intermixable with Infiniti Natural shades (.0) to create very cold flat natural colours (ideal for men).

Infiniti Satin Ammonia Free Tone On Tone Colour
/21
OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
A Breakthrough in Ammonia Free Tone on Tone Colour Technology. Infiniti Satin is a range of 30 intermixable tone on tone shades. It is an ideal introduction to first time colouring, gradually washing away and giving minimal re-growth. It is also suitable for clients not requiring a full permanent colour. Infiniti Satin’s unique conditioning emulsion crème base, coupled with our acclaimed DATEM™ Technology ensures fast and effective penetration of the colour molecule without cuticle damage. The ultra gentle, ammonia free formula will not lift or lighten natural or artificial colour and can be used directly after a permanent wave. Infiniti Satin can be used to enhance natural hair colour or add tone and will cover up to 50% white hair. Clear ‘000’ can be used to dilute and modify the other colours in the range to give the colourist unlimited shade variations.
Important Infiniti Satin 002 should NEVER be mixed with the other Infiniti Satin shades including 000 Clear. 002 has a slightly different pH to achieve Grey Shades. When mixed with other shades it can give unwanted tones. Affinage Satin Clear ‘000’ can be used alone (mixed with Satin Activator 2.8% - 9.3vol) to add shine and texture to fine, dull, natural or tinted hair WITHOUT changing the colour. Infiniti Satin can be mixed with Intensives.
Shade Guide Infiniti Satin Shade Chart is based on 50% white hair.
Infiniti Satin Colour Selection Infiniti Satin deposits colour without any lift action - it therefore adds colour and/or depth to the clients existing colour. For optimum results: If no white hair is present, a shade lighter than the target should be used. This rule does not apply to shades used as toners on very blonde hair (e.g. 9.00 Champagne Blonde, 9.23 Pearl Blonde). Where a lighter shade is not available, mix 25% Clear 000 into the colour.
Example Three quarters tube (45g/1.52oz) Infiniti Satin Colour + Quarter tube (15g/0.51oz) Infiniti Satin Clear 000 + 120g/4.23oz Infiniti Satin Activator. Total mix in a bowl 180g/6.34oz.
White Hair When Approximately 50% white hair is present, the target shade can be used. When Approximately 50% - 100% white hair is present, use the target shade + 25% of the next darker natural shade.
Example ¾ tube (45g/1.52oz) 7.4 + ¼ tube (15g/0.51oz) 6.0. Mix with 120g/4.23oz of Satin Activator. Total mix in bowl 180g/6.34oz.
Infiniti Satin Mixing Instructions Infiniti Satin is mixed with Infiniti Satin Activator. 1 part Infiniti Satin to 2 parts Satin Activator.
/22 Infiniti Satin Ammonia Free Tone On Tone Colour
Example Half tube (30ml) Infiniti Satin Crème + (60ml) Infiniti Satin Activator.
Infiniti Satin Clear 000 Infiniti Satin Clear 000 contains no colour and may be used to dilute the colour of any Infiniti Satin shade. Examples ¾ (45ml) 4.53 + ¼ (15ml) ‘000’ CLEAR will give a one shade lighter colour - 5.53 ½ (30ml) 4.53 + ½ (30ml) ‘000’ CLEAR will give a two shade lighter colour - 6.53 ¼ (15ml) 4.53 + ¾ (45ml) ‘000’ CLEAR will give a three shade lighter colour - 7.53
Remember When you dilute all shades, except naturals, the tone will be weakened.
Infiniti Satin Clear Shine and Texturising Treatment Infiniti Satin Clear 000 mixed with Satin Activator to a ratio of 1 : 2, can be used to add shine, texture and body.

Infiniti Satin Application Application may be made on wet or dry hair. Infiniti Satin, when applied to pre-washed/towel dried hair, will give a Tone on Tone result that gradually fades away. When applied to dry hair it gives a more permanent result.
Affinage Skin Test Method Affinage recommend a skin test before every colour application. Mix small amount of chosen shade with appropriate developer to be used on client. Apply to forearm or behind ear. Leave for 25 minutes, rinse. Look for reaction after 24 and 48 hours. If any irritation or reaction occurs do not apply colour.
First Time Application to Virgin Hair Infiniti Satin should be applied from root to ends in one application using a non-metallic bowl and brush or applicator.
Regrowth Application When applying where there is still colour present in the ends of the hair, the following method should be used: A) Apply Infiniti Satin to the root area only. Process for 15-20 minutes. B) Apply remaining colour to the ends of the hair and massage. If the hair is excessively porous through the mid-lengths and ends, it is advisable to add 25% of Clear 000 to the target shade before applying to the ends. C) The processing time is up to 25 minutes. D) Emulsify and rinse.
Infiniti Satin Processing Times Processing times will vary depending on the porosity of the hair. Individual judgement must be made for each application. The following is a guide to help to assess the correct development time. Do not use heat with Infiniti Satin. 1. Natural hair with little or no chemical treatment and low porosity: 20 - 25 minutes with no heat or 15 minutes covered with a cap. (No Heat) 2. Chemically treated and porous hair. (tinted / permed) 10 -15 minutes with no heat. 3. Very porous natural or chemically treated hair or immediately after perming. 3 - 15 minutes. If necessary dilute with Clear 000. Visual processing time. 4. When using Infiniti Satin as a toner on bleached, very light or porous hair, always strand test prior to application. Use Clear 000 to dilute chosen shade to required depth. Visual processing time. Infiniti Satin may also be used to refresh colours from the Infiniti Crème range (Numbering System is the same for both products), e.g. After a permanent wave or to refresh the ends after a root application with Infiniti.
Removal of Infiniti Satin Colour A) First massage gently without water to remove any staining from the skin. B) Add a small amount of water and emulsify. C) Rinse well until water runs clear. D) Shampoo with Infiniti ColourCare Shampoo and Conditioner.

/24 Intensives Colour Crème
OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
Customise your Colour with Affinage Intensives - your Creative Colour Palette. Affinage Intensives is a range of un-oxidised pure pigments, designed for use with any permanent or tone on tone hair colour. When Intensives are mixed with another permanent or tone on tone colour that uses developer, Intensives become part of the host colour. This means that the added colour from Intensives is as permanent as the host colour. Intensives are used when the colourist wants to increase or subdue tone. We can use Intensives in two different ways: ADD - When staying on same level, darkening or intensifying tone. Adding to the mix - i.e. 30g/1.01oz of Colour, 45g/1.52oz of developer plus 30g/1.01oz of Intensives added.
Example Mix 100g/3.8oz 7.4 Infiniti + 150g/5.07oz of your chosen developer + (ADD) 50g/1.69 0.4 Intensives As you can see from this example we are ADDING the Intensives to the mix. This method should be used when darkening and increasing depth and tone. INCLUDE - When lightening and brightening tone. Included in the mix - i.e. 30g/1.01oz of colour, 30g/1.01oz of Intensives plus 90g/3.04oz of Affinage Crème Developer.
Example Mix 100g/3.38oz 7.4 Infiniti + (INCLUDE) 50g/1.69oz 0.4 Intensives + 225g/7.93oz of your chosen Affinage Crème Developer. As you can see from this example we are INCLUDING the Intensives to the mix. This method should be used when a lighter, vibrant result is required.
The following tones are available in the Intensives range: 0.1 Green Ash
0.2 Violet Ash
0.21 Blue Ash
0.3 Gold
0.4 Copper
0.6 Red
0.76 Purple
The colours indicated in this guide are a representation only.
The possibilities of colour variations using Intensives are endless. Intensives are designed to let you be more creative and to expand your colour palette. Intensives tones 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 , and 0.76 can be ADDED or INCLUDED in large quantities, if desired, to give bright or vibrant tones. They can also be used on their own mixed with 3%(10vol) - 1 part Intensives to 1½ parts Affinage Crème Developer - on previously coloured hair to introduce warm tonal effects. Intensives Ash tones 0.1, 0.2, 0.21 are designed to help eliminate warm tones (Red, Copper and Gold) when lightening. On some occasions the colourist may wish to use high lift 12. or 10. series colours on dark bases to achieve light beige or cool blondes. When the colourist uses colours with tones .1 Green Ash, .2 Violet Ash or .21 Blue Ash and high volumes of developer 9%(30vol) and (12%)40vol, the ashening effect in the colour is not always strong enough to subdue the red, yellow and orange generated from the natural colour when lifting. Intensives provide the solution to this problem.
Technical Manual
Intensives Colour Crème
Intensives 0.1 when added to a .1 colour, e.g. 12.1, increases the ashening effect dramatically. This will enable the 12.1 to subdue more of the warm tones generated during lifting. Similarly by adding 0.2 Violet to 12.2 or 10.2 the cooling of the Gold tone is increased. Care should be exercised when adding Ash Tones to blonde shades, e.g. 10. and 12. series colours . A maximum of 10% in the mix is recommended. Always use ‘INCLUDE’ method. E.g. 1 tube 100g/3.38oz 10. series to 10g/0.33oz Intensives Ash (0.1, 0.2, or 0.21) + 165g/5.82oz of Developer. E.g. 1 tube 100g/3.38oz 12. series to 10g/0.33oz Intensives Ash (0.1, 0.2, or 0.21) + 220g/7.76oz Developer 9% or 12%
Adding 0.21 Blue Ash When lifting from natural base 1. 2. 3. or 4. to levels 6. 7. or 8. Warm copper tones are generated.
Example Base 2.0 Target 6.0 Colour used 7.1 Developer 9%(30vol) Colour Result : Warm base 6 By adding 30% Intensives .21 Blue Ash, into dark shades, a true 6.0 can be achieved.
Example Base 2.0 Target 6.0 Colour 7.1 Plus 30% Intensives 0.21e.g. 100g/3.38oz tube 7.1 + 30g/1.01oz of 0.21 + 195g/6.87oz of 9%(30vol) Créme Developer.

/26 bRED Colour Highlighting Crème
OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
bRED is an off-the-scalp intensive red highlighting system designed to give brilliant results in Red, Red Violet, Red Copper, Copper and Magenta tones on natural or coloured hair. Red, Red Violet, Red Copper and Copper are formulated for use on hair of base 6 or darker. Magenta is formulated for use on base 6 and lighter. bRED can be used with 10, 20, 30 or 40 volume Créme Developer (3%,6%,9%,12%) depending on the amount of lift required. bRED Magenta should be used with 9%(30vol) and 12%(40vol) Créme Developer on bases 6,7, and 8. Use gentle heat (40 - 42°C / 104 - 108°F) for 15 minutes. On bases 9, 10 and above use 3%(10vol) Créme Developer with no heat. Process for 35 minutes. • bRED is mixed on a ratio of 1 part bRED to 1 part of your chosen Affinage Crème Developer. • Apply a small quantity to the hair using your preferred application method. • Process for 15 minutes with gentle heat (40 - 42°C / 104 - 108°F) or 35 minutes without heat. When using bRED on dark coloured hair the use of heat is recommended.
Removal • After processing, rinse the hair thoroughly and shampoo with Infiniti ColourCare shampoo. Ensure that the water runs clear. Finish with Infiniti ColourCare Conditioner. • bRED is an off the scalp colouring product and is not recommended for whole head application or on the scalp use. • If this product is used on very dark, colour treated hair, the colour results will be less vibrant than on natural hair.
Developer Usage bRED - Red, Red Violet, Red Copper and Copper are designed to give stunning results on all hair types, with low percentage (volumes) of Créme Developer. It is not generally necessary to use a high percentage (volume) of Créme Developer to achieve maximum lift and colour. For best results use Affinage Crème Developer as follows: • 3%(10vol) on bases 6 and 5* • 6%(20vol) on bases 5 and 4* • 9%(30vol) on bases 4 and 3* *Depending on amount of colour build-up. • 12%(40vol) should only be used when extreme lift is required on difficult to lighten hair. Please remember that high percentages (vol) of Créme Developer will give more lift but may reduce the intensity of the colour. • bRED Magenta should be used with 9%(30vol) or 12%(40vol) Créme Developer on bases 6, 7 and 8. On bases 9, 10 and above use 3%(10vol) Créme Developer. • Generally, 3%, 6% or 9% Créme Developer is sufficient for most lightening and colouring with bRED.

OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
Refresh your bRED colour in an easy, one step application. bRED Refresher is a simple and easy to use product designed to refresh red, copper or magenta highlights originally created using Affinage bRED or a similar product from any other manufacturer. A reapplication of the original highlighting product with its strong lifting action will not fully reproduce the vibrant colour tones of the original. This is because they are being applied to hair which is already been lightened and does not need lightening again - it simply requires a new colour deposit. bRED Refresher comes in 5 vibrant shades, Red, Red Violet, Red Copper, Copper and Magenta, matching the colours of Affinage bRED.
Instructions For Use 1. Apply to shampooed/towel dried hair. 2. Apply to the previously coloured hair/highlighted areas, with either a bowl and brush or straight from the tube. 3. Allow to process, covered, without heat for 5-15 minutes depending on result required. A longer processing time can produce a darker result. 4. Rinse well and Shampoo, with Infiniti ColourCare Shampoo until the water runs clear. 5. Condition if necessary with Infiniti ColourCare Conditioner.

Colour Dynamics
/29
OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
Colour Dynamics is a Range of Stunning Semi-Permanent Colours for Dramatic Effects on Pre-Lightened Hair Formulated with DATEM™ Technology, the gentle low pH formula contains no ammonia and requires no peroxide, leaving the hair with exceptional shine and vibrancy. Colour results can be easily adjusted according to the degree of pre-lightening - the lighter the base, the brighter the colour. You can also vary the intensity of the colour by adjusting the processing time. Colour Dynamics washes out gradually depending on the porosity of the hair and the frequency of shampooing.
Application 1. Pre-lighten the hair to the lightest possible blonde/white, using Affinage Lite, Ice Crème or Blonde. 2. Shampoo with an Affinage Shampoo. 3. Apply Colour Dynamics to damp hair, using a bowl and brush or applicator. 4. Develop for up to 30 minutes (longer development increases colour intensity and lasting power). 5. Rinse until water is clear. Using gentle heat with Colour Dynamics will give longer lasting results. Cool White is designed to subdue unwanted warm tones in pre-lightened hair. Apply to damp hair and use visual development until desired result is achieved. Colour Dynamics is available in 80ml and 250ml sizes.

Ice Crème Ammonia Free Powder Lightener
/33
Affinage Ice Crème - Ammonia Free Powder Lightener - up to 6-7 levels of lift, depending on base colour. Ice Crème utilises the latest technology in powder lightening, being totally free from ammonia. This new technology is much kinder to the hair producing less swelling, porosity and damage. Ice Crème is suitable for on or off scalp use. Ice Crème does not contain ammonia or other odorous ingredients and therefore allows the use of the Apple (white powder) and Fresh Mint (Blue powder) fragrances. Ice Créme’s dust free on scalp formulation easily mixes to a creamy consistency. This makes for easy application and the product does not dry or flake during the lightening process. Ice Crème is recommended to be used with 3%(10vol) or 6%(20vol) developer. This will give sufficient lift for most hair types and bases. Ice Crème achieves levels of lift with these developers that are normally associated with using 9%(30vol) and 12%(40vol) developers with traditional bleaches. For on scalp use, we recommend that only 3%(10vol) is used
Mixing Instructions Mix one scoop of powder lightener with 2 scoops of your chosen Affinage Crème Developer - 3%(10vol) or 6%(20vol) according to lift required. For best results use Affinage Crème Developer.
Application Do not wash the hair before lightening. Take fine sections of hair and apply bleach liberally. On virgin heads apply to middle lengths and ends first, then to roots where the effect of lightening is quicker because of the scalp’s natural heat. On re-growth applications - do not overlap on to previously lightened hair.
Important DO NOT apply to the scalp if there are any abrasions or signs of irritation. Always use protective gloves.
Processing Times Affinage Ice Crème is active for up to 60 mins. For very dark hair processing time may take up to 50 minutes. Light bases may require only a short processing time. Check frequently. Remember: resistant hair will need a longer development time than porous hair. Always check development of Ice Créme during process. Do Not Use Heat. When the required lift is achieved rinse thoroughly and gently shampoo the hair.
Highlighting Do not wash the hair before application. Use desired method of highlighting, i.e. foil, meches, highlighting cap, etc. Apply Affinage Ice Crème liberally to the hair. Check development time frequently.

Eraser Hair Colour Remover
/37
OXYGEN ENCAPSULATED = LESS FREE RADICALS LESS FREE RADICALS = REDUCED CUTICLE DAMAGE
Some Days We All Wish Our Hair had a Reset Button Eraser is a revolutionary, non-bleaching colour removal system for all permanent and tone on tone (e.g. Infiniti Satin) colours. It specifically targets individual artifical hair colour molecules and leaves the hairs natural pigment untouched. Eraser actively reduces the artificial colour molecules within the hair shaft and allows them to be rinsed away. Because no bleaching takes place, Eraser is a much safer and more controllable product than other ‘bleach’ based colour removal systems. Eraser will not lift natural hair (hair with no artificial pigment), thus making colour removal easier when a regrowth is present. Eraser will not damage hair that has been previously bleached, chemically relaxed or permed. Unlike other colour removal systems, the low pH formula conditions the hair, leaving it in better condition than when you started and ready for a fresh application of colour immediately.
The action of Permanent Hair Colour An artificial dye is generated from small colourless molecules called ‘intermediates’. When these intermediates come into contact with peroxide, they combine to make bigger colour molecules in a process called ‘oxidation’. This action occurs inside the hair and, when the colour processing time is finished, the molecules have become large enough not to exit the hair. To remove these ‘large’ molecules, we have to reduce them in size to allow them to ‘exit’ the hair shaft. Eraser has the ability to do this by using a unique sulphur compound which does not damage the hair and is only effective on the artificial colour molecules. Cationic conditioners in Part 1 and Part 2 ensure that the hair condition is actually improved during the process.
The action of Eraser Part 1 and Part 2 The unique feature of Eraser is the carrier with the reducing agent, which is the most efficient available. One of the biggest problems with this type of product is that if the intermediates are not removed, and their action neutralised correctly, the remaining intermediates may re-oxidise and turn darker when the next colour is applied. Eraser Is designed with a creamy base and DATEM™ Technology which enable the ingredients to penetrate deep in to the hair. This makes Eraser very effective in reduction.
The action of Post Eraser Post Eraser contains a unique chelating cleansing system. This will remove 100% of the free intermediates and prevent the re-oxidisation that causes darkening. Post Eraser also moisturises the hair and restores the natural pH, leaving it in excellent condition.
Condition Due to its very low pH (3) and the cationic conditioners, Eraser leaves the hair soft, smooth and shiny.
Eraser - Instructions for use (use in a well ventilated area) 1. Mix equal parts of Eraser Part 1 and Part 2, i.e. 50ml : 50ml, in a non-metallic bowl or applicator bottle. This is enough working product for 1 application on short hair. Blend the mixture together for at least 1 minute (this will activate the product) and use immediately. Always apply on dry hair, avoiding the scalp, to the area requiring colour removal and cover with a plastic cap. Process as follows: • Removing pale shades or unwanted tones - 5 - 15 minutes without heat. • For removal of dark, old or intense colour - 15 mins with gentle heat (40 - 42°C / 104 - 108°F). • Check the hair frequently until desired result is obtained.
/38 Eraser Hair Colour Remover
2. When desired lightness has been achieved, rinse well for 5 minutes (for short hair) and shampoo 4 times with a deep cleansing/clarifying shampoo). Affinage White Ice Deep Cleansing Shampoo is recommended due to it being SLS Free. It is necessary repeat the operation if the colour has not been completely eliminated. Remix fresh product and apply to dry hair. Process as above and apply Post Eraser.
Post Eraser - Instructions Mix 50ml of Post Eraser with 40ml of water and 10ml of 6%(20vol) developer for short hair. Mix in a non-metallic bowl or applicator bottle. Blend and apply to hair as a shampoo. Massage gently for 2-3 minutes and then rinse well. Towel dry hair and apply the chosen colour. (see below) N.B. If the hair appears to have darkened after applying post eraser, this is an indication that there may be colour molecules still remaining within the hair. If this occurs please repeat eraser process. Remember to apply Part 1 and 2 on dry hair. To achieve your chosen shade select a colour 1 shade lighter than the target shade, e.g. target colour 7.0 use 8.0. + 6%(20vol). When re colouring after an Eraser process, staying on the same level or to darken, 6%(20vol) should ALWAYS be used. When lifting after Eraser, follow manufacturer’s instructions. When colouring back from very old/intense/dark/red or warm colour, test the expected result by mixing a small amount of the chosen colour and apply to a small section of hair in foil and process for full development time. If the test produces a darker than desired result, repeat steps 1 and 2.
Important Do not use on hair treated with henna, metallic salts or true semi permanent colours.
Q & A’s Q: Can I reapply the process after Post Eraser has been used? A: Yes Q: How many times can I use Eraser part 1 and Part 2? A: As many times as is required until desired result is achieved. Q: If the result is good after using Eraser Part 1 and part 2, do I have to use Post Eraser? A: Yes. If not used the oxygen in the air may reactivate the pigment and cause darkening. Q: Can I use Infiniti Satin to recolour? A: No. The Infiniti Satin developer (2.8%) will cause a too dark result. Q: Can I use Infiniti with Converter to recolour? A: No. Converter is a low percentage developer that can result in a too dark result. Q: Can I create highlights after Eraser process? A: Yes.
