Practise now with a few syllables worth getting your tongue around. Osmo Ikon gives us “Bleach Seeker Shampoo with Smart Colour-Change Technology”. Not quick to say, but worth the effort.
What’s it all about?
Catch up with a breakthrough new technology from Oslo Ikon. The Bleach Seeker Shampoo is developed to help you colourists achieve cleaner, more predictable toning results. It’s an innovative shampoo featuring a unique colour-changing formula. What does it do? It turns from yellow to pink when it detects residual lightener particles left in the hair after the lightening process. Niiiice!
By clearly indicating when traces of bleach remain in the hair, this newbie could be a bestie. The Bleach Seeker helps remove the guesswork from the cleansing process. It means you are creating the perfect canvas for more even colour application and beautifully balanced results.
HOW TO USE:
After your lightener has processed, rinse thoroughly and apply Osmo Ikon’s Bleach Seeker. Then emulsify for up to 3 minutes.
Yellow stays yellow? The hair is ready to rinse and tone.
Seeing pink? There’s still lightener hiding in the hair. Shampoo again until the formula stays yellow.
No guesswork. No overthinking. Just cleaner blondes and better colour results.
Here’s the science bit
Terry Longden, is Osmo’s Technical Educator and he puts it like his:
“When there are even the smallest (and sometimes invisible) particles of bleach in the hair, which can adversely affect toning, the colour indicator contained within the new Osmo Ikon’s Bleach Seeker shampoo formula will detect the high pH of the bleach (or permanent colour), and turn the foam pink. As soon as all the residue is removed, the pH of the hair has lowered, the shampoo will only deliver yellow foam.
I’d use Bleach Seeker as my initial bleach remover until the pink has gone. Then follow up with the Chromaplex Shampoo, Sealer and Conditioner for ‘bond insurance’ on that freshly-lightened hair to ensure a clean balanced canvas for even toning.
I also use Bleach Seeker for the initial removal of my permanent colours. I find the powerful cleaning agents are helpful, especially on darker and more staining colours, also the colour indicator lets me know all the colour product has gone, I then follow on with the desired shampoo and conditioner for the hair type.
Your new salon ally
The new Osmo Ikon Bleach Seeker can be a colourist’s greatest ally when it comes to helping create the perfect canvas for toning. It ensures the removal of unseen bleach particles that can get locked into the most porous of hair resulting in patchy or bandy blondes.
