Jarocol® Direct Dyes
The Jarocol Direct Dyes are suitable for semi-permanent
formulations; this makes them ideal for use by
consumers who are not ready to commit to a permanent
colour.
These hair dyes are typically materials of low molecular
weight, which are small enough to infuse into the hair
shaft. Subsequent shampooing of the hair after
application causes the hair to swell, opening the cuticle
and allowing the colour to escape. Colour results
therefore typically last 6-8 washes.
Jarocol Direct Dyes are versatile in their use. They can be
used for ‘tone on tone’ applications, to subtly enhance the
hair’s natural colour, or to blend/cover up to 30% grey.
Optimum conditions for use are weak alkaline, however
they can be used under weak acidic conditions if the
formulation requires it.
than the hair’s original shade, as the colouring process
does not involve any bleaching of the hair’s natural
pigment.
Jarocol Direct Dyes are coloured molecules and unlike
oxidative dyes, there is no chemical reaction involved in
their use. No mixing of separate components is required
and as such colour matching, with our help and guidance,
is relatively simple.
Jarocol Direct Dyes can also be used in conjunction with
Jarocol Basic Dyes and Jarocol Oxidative Dyes to produce
a vibrant colour palette and enable formulators to work
across a wider range of pH conditions.
At Vivimed, we are constantly expanding our portfolio of
Jarocol formulation guides to offer you the opportunity to
be first to the market with new shades.

These colourants are usually applied without peroxide or

ammonia and therefore cannot produce a colour lighter

Jarocol® Oxidation Dyes
Jarocol Oxidation Dyes are suitable for permanent and
demi-permanent hair colourants. Oxidation dyes are low
molecular weight materials that pass through the cuticle
into the hair shaft where they oxidise and combine to
generate a larger coloured molecule, which remains
inside the hair structure.
Oxidation dyes fall into two categories, primary
intermediates (oxidation bases) and secondary
intermediates (couplers). To generate colour, at least one
of each type must be combined in the correct ratio with a
suitable oxidant under alkaline conditions.
The application conditions determine the durability of the
colour result. A permanent colour capable of lightening
the hair’s natural pigmentation will typically contain
ammonia and will be used with hydrogen peroxide.
A softer alkali may be used with a lower strength
hydrogen peroxide, which can still provide a long lasting
result but is unable to produce a colour lighter than the
original hair colour.
Due to their ability to cover grey and give long lasting
results, oxidation dyes are the most popular class of hair
colourant. They provide the largest range of shades to
suit many markets, including fashion, colour
enhancement and grey coverage.
As the colour guide opposite shows, our full range of
Jarocol hair dyes, together with our extensive colour
matching and formulation experience, will allow you to
develop shades to meet the ever-changing desires of your
customers.
