Dikson Color Permanent Hair Color Red Violet 120ml

Red-violet tones are the ultimate expression of elegant boldness. They evoke the deep nuances of burgundy wine, forest fruits, and cherries, creating an unparalleled aura of mystery and sophistication. The permanent hair color Dikson Color allows you to showcase these striking reflections while its formula with hyaluronic acid and chamomile extracts embraces and protects every strand, ensuring your hair maintains its hydration and shine. Its 120 ml tube yields wonderfully for two full applications or for keeping your color vibrant month after month.

Within this magnetic family of Red Violets (.26), you have two tone levels that combine the passion of red with the cool depth of violet:

• 5.26 - Light Red Violet Chestnut: A deep, dark cherry tone. It is ideal if you are looking for a bold yet subtle change indoors, which bursts into wine-colored glints when hit by sunlight.

• 6.26 - Dark Red Violet Blonde: More vibrant and juicy. A dark raspberry or burgundy tone full of light, perfect for framing the face with plenty of personality and energy.

The Step-by-Step Ritual

To awaken the intensity of these pigments, the mixture remains in equal parts, with a 1:1 ratio.

1. Prepare the magic: In a non-metallic bowl, pour 60 ml of your red-violet coloring cream (half a tube) and mix it gently with 60 ml of oxidizing emulsion until the texture is rich and homogeneous.

2. Apply with care: On your dry, unwashed hair (natural oils protect your scalp), distribute the mixture with a brush. If you are touching up roots, concentrate on them first. If it is a total change, apply it from root to tip.

3. Your pause time: Let the violet and red pigments penetrate deeply for 30 minutes.

4. The rebirth of color: After the time has passed, add a few drops of warm water and massage gently to emulsify. Rinse with plenty of water until it no longer runs pink or reddish, and finish by washing with a shampoo specific for color-treated hair. This is crucial for red tones to seal the cuticle and prevent the color from washing away.

The Engine of Color: 20 or 30 Volumes?

Red-violet pigments need to anchor well to show off their velvety depth, so the choice of oxidant is fundamental.

Your choice:

For tones 5.26 and 6.26, 20 volumes is the star choice. They ensure the color remains rich, deep, and long-lasting. Avoid 30 volumes unless your natural base is extremely dark (black or very dark chestnut) and you need to "lift" the tone, knowing that the color will last a bit less brilliantly.

The Professional Secret: No "magenta" effect on gray hair

Red and violet pigments are very intense primary and secondary colors. If you apply them directly to white hair (which lacks a natural base), the gray hair will absorb the pure reflection and will end up as a very artificial and translucent fuchsia or magenta tone.

To achieve that elegant, deep, and uniform salon-quality burgundy, you need to return a base to your grays by mixing your red-violet hair color with a natural base tone (ending in .0) of the same height:

• If you fell in love with the 5.26, your perfect mix includes the 5.0 (Light Chestnut).

• If you chose the 6.26, pair it with the 6.0 (Dark Blonde).

Your Tailor-Made Recipe

Adjust the amounts in your bowl depending on your percentage of silver strands:

As a practical example, if your hair has many grays (more than 50%) and you wish to sport the vibrant dark red-violet blonde (6.26), the ideal proportion in your bowl for 60 ml will be: 30 ml of 6.26 + 30 ml of 6.0 + 60 ml of 20-volume oxidant. This way, the natural tone provides the necessary opacity to the gray so that the red-violet reflection shines with all its sophistication and mystery, without any unwanted surprises.
