How to Use Boosters & Neutralizers 💃 The Breakdown w/ Ian | Schwarzkopf Professional

[@a_xlvina]

Hi, can Boosters be used alone as a color refresh? Like 0-88/0-89 to refresh red hair?

[@reverie6158]

Will adding 0-55 with 3-0 give level 3 hair a slight goldish tone?

[@ellhawa]

My hair is orange , can i mix 12.1 with 0.22 ? For cancel orange and lift my hair?

[@poshdelux]

I needed this video desperately, thank you so much!

[@Rromoldd]

Hi! I would like to use the igora 5-01 (I don’t really know which one should I get) and 0.33. How should I mix them with a 10 developer? My hair right now is reddish brown. But it’s too red. I want to get rid of the red and I would like to have an ashy brown. I was thinking of buying 3 of the 5.01 and 1 of the 0.33 because I have long hair. Should I get another toner too or something?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question! The 0-33 in IGORA Royal is a great way to help correct unwanted red as you color. Just remember if you do not want to see the green hue from 0-33 it needs to be at maximum 25% of your color formula. Any more added in and you may see that pigment peaking through. Hope this helps. ✨✨

[@Rromoldd]

@@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA yes, it does, thank you! I won’t use a lot of that then! I will mix the 25% to the color I want!

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hi there! At a level 5, you can add up to 25% of the neutralizer into the formula.

[@lisahilton9616]

Hi! Love your videos! Very informative. Confused about the mixing ratio..When using the boosters, like 0-77, in the Vibrannce line...Do I mix the color with equal parts developer? 1:1 or do I use half the amount of the developer?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hey there! When using the Booster alone or in a formula always mix equal parts of your IGORA Vibrance Activator to match the amount of color. Hope that this helps. 💖

[@nannysalazar7049]

Hello! I can mix 8,77 and 0,88, or 8,55 and 0,88? Id like some “peach” 🍑 , a cooper with a little of rose ❤ Thanks

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

When using the boosters just remember they can add a lot of vibrancy to your color. The 0-88 is pure red booster and may make your formula to red and not peach. We would recommend trying a combination of 9-7 + 8-55 + 0-77 + 0-55. We always recommend swatching out your formulas first to get your perfect combination of these shades. 🍑

[@nannysalazar7049]

@@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA thank you very much ❤️🍑

[@min.trusfrated]

Hi @@nannysalazar7049! sorry to bother you, I was wondering if you ended up trying the formula they mentioned and, in case you did, how did you like it! I'm trying to achieve the same peachy-rosey tone🍑

[@aquarianage22]

So is it possible to add 0.33 to a 1:1 neutral level 6 / 6.4 and keep the gold undertone if green cancels red?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hey there! To use these Neutralizing Shades you will only need to add 5-25% of them into your formula to help neutralize the brass in the hair. 0-11 is for shades 8-10 with 5% of it in the formula, 0-22 for levels 6-7 with 15% added into the formula, 0-33 with up to 25% of the formula on levels 5 and darker. If you add more than that into the formula you will darken or even see the tone that you've added into your color. Hope that this helps. 💜💙💚

[@juuliauusitalo3526]

Hi! My hair is dark brown (coloured by igora 4.0 + 5.16 +10vol) and it always looks little orange in sunny air. Can i use 0-22 with these colours and how much?😊

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hey there! When using the 5-16 it's a level 5 with a Cendre Chocolate tone direction. With that being said the Chocolate in our color world is a warm brown that lives in the orange part of the color wheel. You can absolutely add up to 15% of 0-22 into your formula to help neutralize the warmth. Hope this helps. 💖

[@heesung1623]

Hi i did my hair months ago and used L-88 with developer and it turned out great now the color is fadde like a little and my roots are black and the lengths are darker red can i use 0-22 with a developer?? Or for me to use the 0-22 will i have to bleach my hair?? I dont wanna do brown on red i wanna do like a darker blue how do i get rid of the red color in my hair please help thank you

[@patrickanthw]

Why did he cover up some of the swatches with his hand? And not mention them? For example the E-1 swatch?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question! Ian was covering up the swatches on the bottom since he was covering all things Boosters and Neutralizers. E-1 Is a great additive tool to use when you're wanting to add that Extra Cendre extract to smoke out your formula or fight brass. So even though you can use it to neutralize it's not part of the Neutralizers & Boosters mentioned in this video. In this full seminar video for IGORA Royal, at 33:20 Amber breaks down how to use the E-1 concentrate in your color formulas. I hope this helps. 💖 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2LPgYZvrJx6e9k

[@jamieshaw4842]

I've been using 9-7 for a long time and would like it to be more vibrant. I tried mixing 9-7 and 8-77 but that was a tad too "dark" for me. Could I mix 0-77 with 9-7 to add some vibrancy in the copper/orange tone? How long will the 0-77 last once opened, so I don't waste any if I'm only using a little bit? Could I add some to my conditioner to make a color depositing conditioner?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hey there! Great questions! The Boosters in IGORA Royal are a great way to add some more brightness into your formula. The boosters like 0-77 can be up to 50% of your formula. The shelf life of hair color is 3 years from the manufacture date, unopened. Once it's opened it has less of a lift span, just make sure to keep it in a controlled environment at room temperature. Hope this helps 💖💖

[@FYsqueak]

Great explanation! Is it possible to add a neutralizer to clear (intending to cancel unwanted warmth in natural hair color)? And if so, what is a good ratio to start with?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Yes you can, however we would recommend playing with small test strands first, trying out different ratios of clear. The Neutralizers are very strong and without being able to see what you're trying to cancel out it's hard to give a mixing ratio. You could try some mixes of 0-00 to Neutralizer like these here 15:1, 25:1, 50:1, 75:1. Hope this helps

[@FYsqueak]

@@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA thank you so much for answering 😊

[@noelia7361]

Hi! I have an L-89 on my hair and would like it to make it like a pastel pinkish blonde, do i have to use a neutralizer or just apply the color? I don't want the finish result to be redish

[@vstar____]

Really helpful video - thank you so much, Ian! I can't wait to try the boosters & neutralizers with my formula!

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@athena8030]

Can i use a little bit of 0.77 with a white mask, to use it as a mask repigmentant (Tonalisant)?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

If you need a bit of a color refresh of copper, you can always use ChromaId 7-77 as a color refresher AND treatment.

[@Iphenity]

I need help getting my hair dyed the right kind of purple. I bought a L’Oréal dialight 4.20 toner which was supposed to be purple, but it turned out burgundy 😳 And I have a 100 year anniversary of my family’s hair salon coming up on the 4. of July. What can I do without bleaching it 🤗

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there thank you for your question. We have Chroma ID Intense Bonding Mask Purple or the Chroma ID Bonding Mask 3-19, that is great to use to add purple hues into the hair. You apply the Mask onto damp clean hair and let it process for up to 20 minutes and then you just rinse no shampoo needed. Here is a video to learn about the range 🍇💜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqbZdJWuaqyCmKcsi=uX-Tz7pozzBBTRO_

[@femaleweeb8655]

Hello, let say if I want to make own 7-88 vibrance. Would I mix 7-0 with -88 equal part booster to get the same shade as 7-88?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there 👋 Thank you for your question. When mixing you can get a little creative and have a swatch party. At this level you have a few options to play with | 7-0 | 7-48 | 7-4 | the -0 (Neutral/Natural) is going to be more neutral and brown our your formula. -48 (Beige/Red) -4 (Beige) you can mix up to 50% of the BOOSTERS (0-55, 0-77, 0-88) into your formula. Ex, if you had 40g of your selected shade you can mix up to 20g of the Booster into your formula. We recommend when using IGORA VIBRANCE to use the 13 Volume ACTIVATOR LOTION for bright reds. Hope that this helps. 💖

[@lillyisacat4499]

if we wanted a permanent dark blue color, could we use just the 0-22 and a developer alone, rather than using it just to neutralize orange? and if so, what starting levels of hair would that be best to be used on?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there 👋 We would not recommend using 0-22 alone to create a permanent dark blue. The neutralizers are meant to be added into formulas to help fighting unwanted brass and may not come out the desired shade you want alone or even get the longevity you would desire. It would be amazing added into a 3-0 or 4-0 or even 1-1. Our ChromaID Color has an amazing Intense Blue Bonding masks that can last up to 15 shampoos, it's deep royal blue. Here is the link to learn more about ChromaID kzbin.info/www/bejne/jojOZKJ8qtKYoJY Hope this helps 💙💙💙

[@clairemilberryxx]

Did you ever achieve the colour you wanted?

[@sidt3986]

My hair are level 9 bleech out so i want very light purple shade so can i just use 0-11 directly or do i have to use somthing esle with it if you have any tip please share

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Depending upon how much yellow is left in your hair we would recommend pre-toning the hair first with a purple shampoo like GOODBYE YELLOW to help cancel out that yellow so you can fully deposit the purple tone afterwards. We wouldn't recommend just using the 0-11 alone. The 9,-19 with 5% of 0-11 would be beautiful, or even the Lilac Toner in BLONDME. We hope this helps. 💜

[@MusicAL1986]

Can I use anti yellow solely with the developper to get rid of yellow without adding a color tube?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there! 👋 We recommend when using the 0-11 to intermix it with the selected level 8-10 shade only using 5% of it in your formula. Ex. 50g 9-0 + 5g 0-11 + 55g of Selected IGORA VIBRANCE Activator. Hope that this helps ❣️

[@canadianjustice386]

I know we shouldn't use them alone but could you mix a bit of 0-11 with clear + developer to create a toner to use over bleached hair that is yellow?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

This would be a creative way to use this and could be a good pre toner before applying your final shade. We would always recommend doing a test strand before applying the color all over. Hope this helps. 💜

[@yuumustaine]

Can i use 0-11 on cool blonde hair in order to get silver lavender hair? I wanted to get igora royal p 9.5-29 but i cant find it in my country

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question we would recommend using the BLONDME Pastel Toning shade Lilac. It is a pH neutral toner that you apply to hair that is between levels 8-10 for 20 minutes mixed 1:1 with 7 Volume BLONDME Premium Oil Developer. Hope that this helps 💜

[@Lumikki555]

Hello! Could you help please, what result will I get if I mix igora vibrance 6-6 with 15ml of booster 0-55?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there! When mixing the boosters into your IGORA Vibrance shades it's going to boost or add pigment into that tone you want to see. With the -6 it's a Chocolate (warm brown) tone and adding some 0-55 into it, which is a Gold booster, it will enhance the warmth of that shade making it more of a Chocolate Gold. Hope that this helps 🤎

[@laurafilakova8579]

hey, it possible to use neutralizer Lets say 0-22 or 0-33 in mixing ratio 1:1 (developer) on blonde hair to use it like dark blue or dark green permanent colour? or is it working just in small percentage in other formula just for canceling unwanted warmth only? thank you

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

This is a great question. When using these boosters and neutralizers some of the shades can be too pigmented for blonde hair, since the 0-22 is for levels 6-7 & 0-33 is for levels 4-5. You could use the Clear 0-00 to dilute the intensity of 0-22/0-33. Another few shades that you could use to help remove unwanted warmth would be depending upon what level and tonal family your wanting to see | 8-11 | 9-11 | 9-1 | 9-42 |9,5-1 | 9,5-21 | 9,5-19 | Hope that this helps 💖

[@klaravalnerova2940]

Hi! Can i add 0-99 to L-89 for more purple? Thank you😊

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there thanks for this great question. We do not recommend mixing any of the IGORA ROYAL Red boxes into the IGORA ROYAL FASHION LIGHTS Purple boxes, it will effect the lift of the L-89. Another great option is tone it with a Chroma ID Purple Intense Bonding Mask. Hope that this helps 💜

[@ExoticTS]

Hi hope you can help, what shade will I need in igora Demi for level 5 hair with red and orange base ? Will I also need a neutraliser please advise

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question. We have some great correcting shades in our IGORA Vibrance family that help with fighting brass. We would recommend watching our intro to IGORA Vibrance at the link below to see whats in the Neutral / Cool family. Our 5-21(Level 5 Blue/Cendre) , 6-12(Level 6 Cendre/Blue) and 4-13(Level 4 Cendre/Matte) could be great options, just depends on how deep you want it to be. You can use them alone with out a neutralizer or you could add up to 15% of 0-22 or 0-33 into your final formula. We always recommend swatching out your formula first on a tiny section to make sure it's just right before applying all over. Hope this helps 💖 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6iVapKghs93qc0

[@sheela4537]

Does anyone know if schwarzkopf igora royal 0-11 booster can be used as a toner to neutralize the yellow/orange tones after bleaching?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question. Using this booster alone without 0-00 to dilute the pigments could leave the blonde a little overtoned. We have in Chroma ID 9,5-1 which is a toning conditioner with a blue violet base. Here is a link to learn more about toning with Chroma ID kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOboYdjnbGVY9ksi=pSMWNzGwyNkqzxWq

hi! i have naturally ”brassy” hair. it has some gold/orangey tones or almost like highlights to it, especially during summer because of the sun. ive tried the igora vibrance 7.1 and it doesnt really cancel it out. my hair is also (professionally) dyed, only half of it tho since its been 1 year. the dyed hair has a lot more red tones to it. i was thinking of trying the igora vibrance 8-11 or 6-12 and maybe one of the 0-33? my warm tones are really stubborn and im tired of spending money on dye that doesnt really remove it. maybe i should also mention that im not scared that it will be too dark, i want dark brown hair. hope you can help :)

Can i mix 0-22 in my igora vibrance formula 4.0 + 5.88 + 6vol?😊

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hey there! Yes you can mix the 0-22 into your formula. When mixing it into your color for a cooler neutralization it should be up to 15% of your formula, to make sure it doesn't darken the target color. Hope this helps 💙

[@olgaantoniou8055]

Can I mix 9-0 with 0-77 to get 9-7? What is the formula?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question. You can mix 9-0 and 0-77 together to get close to a 9-7. It won't be exactly the same. We suggest swatching it out first to get it perfect before applying on a guest, since the boosters like 0-77 are very pigmented. We would suggest first trying with adding 1g all the way up to 5g into your formula and then go from there if it's not copper enough. We hope that this helps! 🧡

[@user-sr9su2yp7b]

Can I use a cream developer instead of the oil developer? (Since I have a cream developer at home)

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hello there we do not recommend using Developer that does not go with the line. As our products are made to preform best with the branded developers for each line. IGORA Royal with the IGORA Royal Oil Developer | BLONDME with the BLONDME Premium Oil Developer | IGORA Vibrance with the IGORA Vibrance Activator. Hope that this helps 💜

Hello, can i mix 0-99 with 6-99 or 0-99 with 9-98? I want to achieve a more violet tone but not a lighter tone and also not too dark violet, which combination can i use and with how much Vol? Or can you recommend some other combination?Thank you

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Great question, When mixing in the boosters into your selected shade you can mix up to 50% of a booster into the formula. We always recommend swatching it out first with a few different Blonde Strands to see what tone direction is going to be best for the results you want. Remember to always mix equal parts of your selected Developer into your color formula, for example if you had 40g of color you'd need 40g of Developer. Hope this helps 💖💖

Hello Would you recommend please how to prevent blondma bleach 9 levels from bloating- dripping all over? Amazing bleach but swelling all over when doing roots Do you recommend some products we can add to prevent or tips when using? Lots of people struggle with that

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

We have found that the new BlondMe formula not only has the same lifting capabilities as our original formula, however the overall performance is superior due to the added anti-metal bond protection technology and chelating agents now included in the formula.

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

We also recommend mixing as recommend with a non metal whisk, folding in the powder into the BLONDME Premium Oil developer, never using heat.

Hey...i want to take out my red hair and back to my brown hair.. Should i apply the neutralize alone or i need to add some Ox?? Thank you😊

When using the Boosters you need to mix the equal amount of Developer. Hope this helps 💖

[@renatamarr]

If I use 30 g of 5.88 and 30 g of 5.99, can I add the 0.89 booster up to only 30 gr? or will it be too much pigment? I was thinking using only 15 g

YES! Up can add up to 50% booster of the total color formula. Just make sure to add the total amount of developer as well.

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hey there great question! With our IGORA Royal line you would only be able to lift your hair 3 levels. So if you're starting at a level 1 it may appear just a level deeper. However we do think your plan of 4-88 with 30 Volume IGORA Royal Oil Developer mixed 1:1 will turn out beautifully. Hope this helps 💖💖

[@pintr4ever]

or what colour dye should I miss it with to achieve that colour without bleach?

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

Hi there! Great question. We would recommend before you start on this journey that you would have to use the Color Essential Bond Enforcing Color Remover to first remove some of that copper pigment. The 0-22 used alone as a toner would cancel it our but could leave you with a muddy brown result. For best results in a color correction we recommend seeing a professional hairstylist to help you achieve your color goals.

Hey! How can I use 0-11 to get a shade of purple? I know it cant be used on its own but i purchased it a while ago and I dont want the dye to go to waste. I read in another comment you reccomended mixing 0-11 with 9-19, I might try that

[@SchwarzkopfProfessionalUSA]

You can use the Neutralizer 0-11 in many different shades to help add more coolness into the shade or to eliminate unwanted yellow tones in the hair. The 9-19 + 0-11 together would make a Beautiful light pastel Lavender. We would recommend playing around on a swatch to get your formula just right. Always mix equal parts of the IGORA Vibrance Activator. We also have our CHROMAID Intense Bonding Mask to create vivid colors over pre lightened hair. We have a 0-00 and a Purple that you could mix together to get many different variations of purple. Here is a video to learn more about CHROMAID. 💜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jojOZKJ8qtKYoJY
