Londa Professional Londacolor

August 20, 2018

Today I talk about the very first paint I started working with – Londa Professional Londacolor. In principle, I work with it until now, though in a very limited palette. And this paint is not bad. If you, for example, are still smearing it on your head, go to Londa, regret your hair!

Londa Londacolor is a classic professional oxidative paint. There are two lines – resistant ammonia (violet) and toning non-ammoniac (orange). I use almost always resistant paints in my work, so I’ll tell you about the violet line.

Paint in a certain (depending on the tasks) proportions mixed with an oxidizing agent. They exist at a concentration of 1.9; 3, 4, 6, 9, 12 per cent. At home, I traditionally advise you not to do anything other than toning by 1.9 and 3, because high percentages of oxide can have a destructive effect on the hair and require constant visual control.

Pros Londa Professional Londacolor

As I said, Londa makes a bit boring, but the high-quality, good-quality product. Accordingly, the advantages of this dye:

predictable result

This is a very clear product, mix everything according to the rules of colour and you will get sane and clear color in 99% of cases. This compares favourably with the high fantasy anthocyanin and many other dyes.

a large palette of dark colours

I almost do not work in the range below the 7th level, I see no need, and not too interesting. In any chestnut, someone will paint himself, simply by buying the same Londa and 3% oxide. So I take only some problematic exceptions. But Londas are really worthy of the dark, and there is plenty to choose from.

unique red shades

But the red shades of Londa Professional Londacolor stole my heart. Many times I tried something else, but I didn’t even see anything so close. All my red-haired beauties are the work of this dye. This and excellent durability, and pure juicy not red shades, and dazzling brilliance. In general, perfect!

beautiful individual shades (7/71, 7/75, 0/65, 8/38, etc)

I am not delighted with the whole palette (I’ll tell you more about this in shortcomings), but I always buy some paints, simply because they have no analogues. And they do not really mix from other palettes.

decent stamina

In the format of resistant staining, Londa holds almost invariably 4-6 weeks and this is a declared and very worthy result. Longer is to “pallet”, only with it then you will not get problems. By the way, I will immediately clarify that professional paints are no more resistant than the mass-market, and vice versa. Their plus is that they do not harm the hair (when used correctly), they have washed away if necessary to change the , they are predictably mixed to obtain new cool shades.

Cons Londa Professional Londacolor

green base

This is Lada’s misfortune in non-warm (cold and natural) shades above level 7. She is all greenish. This is of course corrected, but still uncomfortable. because of complicated correction, a dirty result is often obtained and the probability of error is high.
