Key Features

• No developer required: apply directly to clean, dry hair without mixing.

• Vegan-friendly formula (in many listings) and suitable for a variety of creative services.

Usage Guidelines

1. Begin with clean, dry hair (for best results, pre-lighten hair to recommended level for vivid tones).

2. Section hair and apply the color evenly from roots to ends, saturating well for uniform deposit.

3. Process up to 30 minutes (heat is not required and may reduce vibrancy). 

4. Rinse until water runs clear, towel dry, then style as desired. Use color-safe shampoo/conditioner to extend wear.

5. To create pastel or muted tones, blend POP XG shade(s) with a “Diluter” shade or condition mix as specified.

Shade Range & Customization

POP XG offers a variety of vibrant shades such as Steel, Bordeaux, Midnight, Opalescent, Purple Quartz, Flamingo Pink, Yellow, Green, Orange, and more. These can be mixed or diluted for customized pastel or vivid results.

Performance & Aftercare

• The conditioning base ensures the hair remains soft and manageable, even after color deposition.

• With proper application and aftercare, color lasts up to six weeks (depending on hair condition, porosity, and maintenance).

• To maintain vibrancy, use cool water when washing, minimize exposure to direct sun/heat, and use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.

Ideal For

• Fashion-forward clients seeking bold, vivid, or pastel color results without a permanent commitment.

• Creative color applications: streaks, panel color, balayage pops, mermaid/galaxy looks.

• Stylists wanting a highly customizable, professional-grade semi-permanent line with high pigment payoff.

Technical Specifications

• Format: Cream color (tube or salon format)

• Application: Direct to hair, no mixing with peroxide/developer required. Vegan-friendly (in many variants) and available in salon sizes (6 oz/180 ml).

Tip: Because vibrant pigment results are enhanced on lightened hair, for best results lift hair to a pale blonde (level 9–10) before application if you’re going for the brightest hues. Strand test and check porosity to tailor timing and aftercare.
