What’s New in Hair

O&M formulate clean ammonia-free colour range

Australian hair brand Original & Mineral (O&M) has introduced a new clean colour range to address the industry-wide problem of increasing chemical sensitivity without compromising on results in the salon.

O&M’s CØR.color range has been developed with a vegan formula that is clean from Ammonia, PPD and Resorcinol, replacing harsh chemicals with essential oils and active natural extracts and minerals.

It utilises Molecular Blend Technology (MBT), which pre-links hair colour base and reflect pigments taking into consideration the specific molecular weight of each pigment, which guarantees all pigments are fully developed and oxidised during the colour process, whilst minimising the risk of scalp irritation. In addition, CØR.color delivers grey coverage up to level 9 without the need for Ammonia.
