Double-Process Color

Category: lifestyle

A multi-step hair coloring procedure that involves bleaching the entire head first, followed by a separate color application.

Commonly used for global platinum blondes or vivid fashion colors (like pink or blue). The first step strips out the natural pigment completely, and the second step deposits the target tone. It demands extensive timing control and post-chemical structural treatments.

Common Examples

• Transitioning from dark brunette to a solid ice platinum requires a careful double-process color execution across several hours.
• The maintenance overhead for a double-process color is intense, requiring root touch-ups every four weeks to manage hot roots.
