Ammonia-Free Hair Color FAQ

What is ammonia-free hair color?

Ammonia-free color uses a different alkalizing agent instead of ammonia, which usually means less odor and a gentler feel on the scalp. It still needs developer to work. This collection features Wella Professionals Pure Perfection, a permanent ammonia-free color sold in a 2 oz size.

Does ammonia-free color cover gray?

Permanent ammonia-free colors are designed to cover gray, though performance varies by brand. Very resistant gray may need a natural base shade in the formula. Check the brand's guidance on coverage, and do a strand test on stubborn areas before you commit to the full head.

Is ammonia-free color less damaging?

It can feel gentler and smell milder, but it is not damage-free. Any permanent color opens the hair cuticle to deposit pigment, and lift still relies on developer. Ammonia-free color is a good option for clients sensitive to the odor of traditional color.

What developer should I use with Pure Perfection?

Follow Wella's mixing instructions for Pure Perfection, including the ratio and the developer they recommend. Volume depends on your goal: lower volumes for deposit-only service and higher for lift. If in doubt, consult the color chart for that shade series.
