Most of the Hair Color is manufactured by the country’s largest advertiser, P & G (Proctor & Gamble). They own most of the Boxed Hair Color brands, Frederic Fekai, Sebastian Hair, Graham Webb Hair & all of Wella and many – many other brands. So they {very quietly} play all sides of the coin. 
I think its absolutely hilarious because they produce the Boxed Hair Color which forever I have called “JOB SECURITY” for hair stylists. Boxed Hair Color is a bonus to any Salon Owner….. why? Because as a Salon Owner you bank on the fact that you will at least book a dozen appointments a week to correct the color that Boxed Hair Color has ruined. So that means that one company produces the color that destroys your hair with BOXED HAIR COLOR…….and also produces the color they fix it with (Wella) How typical is that of BIG BUSINESS in AMERICA? But lets get off that band wagon because it goes no-where . . . just FYI.
What I would like to point out today is that ALL permanent haircolor….whether it be the hair color you purchase in Walmart, in Sally’s Beauty Supply( the world’s largest beauty supply), in your local beauty supply or in KillerStrands . . . is all . . . based on the EXACT SAME CHEMICAL Process.
Most of the raw materials used in hair color are actually colorless molecules called intermediates, which are in a clear liquid form or are coupling agents which combine with the intermediates and an oxidizing agent ( hydrogen peroxide – developer) to change their appearance. These small dye molecules possess a color-forming capacity, and it might take as many as six different intermediates to make the color.
The intermediates and coupling agents penetrate in the hair shaft where they oxidize or develop into permanent, insoluble colored pigments that are trapped inside the hair. The Level System color manufacturers have created wonderful varieties, the most astonishing accomplishments to me are with the new line we are carrying in the TCE Group/Store. This new line has mastered a tonal variety I have never seen or experienced in any other line . . . and if you have problems with Brass, Yellow, Gold, or Orange Tones that you don’t like…I would head over there as fast as you can click your mouse.

What my true message here is that there is only ONE METHOD for Coloring the Hair. Some times the companies mis-lead you into thinking the hair color you might buy that is considered (with absolutely no documentation or authority) “Professional”… might be a more complicated or difficult procedure of mixing and/or application. Nothing could be further from the truth. All hair color contains the exact same 2 parts.
- 1 tube of hair color (pigment – btw it is NOT the color you are aiming for)
- 1 cup of Developer (in one of these strengths: 10V, 20V, 30V or 40V)
Apart these 2 ingredients make absolutely no change to anything. The 2 ingredients must be mixed well together in a bowl in the proper measurements, applied to the hair and given time to PROCESS or DEVELOP( Usually 45-60 minutes) I see all these ridiculous commercials touting the advantages of some new hair color that develops in 10 minutes. THAT, I WANT TO SEE. I mean, when you go to a Salon they will always have you sit with the product on your hair for a minimum of 45 minutes, I urge 60- 75 minutes. What's the hurry?? Once you get it on, don’t you want it to develop to the proper color? Well, IF YOU DO . . . it is going to take an hour, and you just need to commit to that. Chemical Processes like this do not work properly in “minutes” . . . it takes TIME!
All the various hair colors whether it be Sally’s, Walmart, your local Beauty Supply, KillerStrands, TCE’s new line, any of the professional lines…all permanent hair color works exactly the same.
Take a Tube of Hair Color and mix with Developer
in a bowl then apply… Let process for 1 hour and WEELLLLLLLAAA, you have a gorgeous hair color.
This is where I want to make things crystal clear for everyone. The Hair Color process is one - single - solitary Process. There are 2 ingredients necessary for any hair color to work :
1.) Hair Color Pigment Cream
2.) Developer ( hydrogen peroxide)
Now when you purchase hair color in a box it also has 2 ingredients….. the same exact 2 ingredients as in the professional hair Color. So don’t ever think hair color anywhere is any tricky system. The difficulty comes from figuring out your exact formula for what you do or do not have on your hair presently. That is the key factor for what makes the hair color formulations different.
