Ammonia-Free, Low-Odor Grey Coverage

Enjoy low-odor coloring without ammonia. INOCHROMA blends greys gently while keeping hair touchable and soft. If you dislike harsh fumes or scalp discomfort, this is a calm alternative for at-home root touch-ups and full applications.

Why ammonia is used—and why we skip it

• Why it’s used: Ammonia raises hair’s pH and swells the cuticle so dye precursors can enter, creating long-lasting color.
• Why we skip it: We prioritize comfort and low odor. Our system avoids ammonia to reduce harsh fumes and potential scalp sting while still delivering natural-looking grey coverage. (Always review the ingredient list and patch test 48h before use.)

Odor, comfort & hair feel: what changes

• Odor: No-ammonia = low-odor experience—easier to use in small spaces and more comfortable for scent-sensitive users.
• Comfort: Calmer scalp feel during processing; less chance of the “tingle” many people notice with high-alkaline formulas.
• Hair feel: A softer, more touchable finish—color aims to blend greys without leaving hair feeling coated or brittle.

Coverage results on first greys vs. stubborn greys

• First greys: Blend seamlessly with natural/neutral tones; keeps contrast low at the part and temples.
• Stubborn/coarse greys: Effective coverage is achievable—use thin sections, full recommended processing time, and ensure complete saturation on the most resistant areas (usually temples and hairline). Expect a natural-looking result rather than an opaque “inked” finish.
  

Application tips for minimal irritation

• Patch test 48h before coloring; don’t proceed if irritation occurs.
• Start on dry hair. Avoid scratching or vigorous brushing for 24h prior.
• Protect skin: apply a thin barrier cream along hairline/ears; wear gloves.
• Work in fine sections (¼-inch / 0.5–1 cm) and use light pressure—place color on hair, not scalp.
• Saturate roots first; process per leaflet (typically 20–30 min). Do not exceed.
• For the last 5–10 min, comb a light veil through lengths only if they look faded.
• Rinse with lukewarm water until clear; follow with a gentle conditioner.
• Aftercare: color-safe shampoo, cooler water, UV protection; schedule root touch-ups every 3–4 weeks as needed.

It helps open the cuticle and adjust pH. Our formula avoids ammonia to reduce odor and potential discomfort.

Will it still cover greys?
Yes—follow the recommended timing and apply in fine sections for even results.

Does it damage hair less?
The formula is designed for a comfortable feel; always condition after rinsing to maintain softness.

Any odor at all?
Low-odor, not odor-free. Ventilate the room during use.

Can I use it after a salon service?
Wait until your stylist’s recommended interval and always patch test.
