“Igora Vibrance is so versatile. The range has 73 colours, which can be mixed to create even more colour options. This enables our stylists to provide a bespoke look for every client.”
What is Igora Vibrance?
Igora Vibrance is a demi/semi permanent colour and is great for clients that want a natural low maintenance multi tonal colour, is also great for glossing.
What is demi-permanent hair colour?
A demi-permanent colour is a great way to try colour, if you haven’t had colour before as it blends, adds shine and tone without regrowth. It’s also an option for people wanting change and deciding to grow out that permanent colour and allow the natural greys to come through.
Who was it made for?
Vibrance is for anyone and any hair colour, from those who want a natural colour result to the high-fashion colour. For those who want shiny, healthy-looking hair, we call our soft glossing clients.
You favour the blonde or 10-series of Igora Vibrance, so why is that?
The new Vibrance 10 level is amazing at neutralising unwanted brassy tones on super-light blondes without dulling and darkening. The result is a beautiful, clean-looking blonde.
How many shades are in the collection in total, and what can you achieve with the range?
It’s so versatile. The range has 73 colours, which can be mixed together to create even more colour options. This enables our stylists to provide a bespoke look for every client.
What is the FibreBond Technology? And how does that benefit the hair?
Fibre Bond Technology is a brilliant repair technology that works inside and outside the hair to prevent and repair damage. It helps rebuild the hair while reducing breakage (from over-processed colour and split ends) by up to 75 per cent on the first application. In essence, it creates healthy, shiny hair.
What other ingredients are in the formulation?
Aquaxil is a moisture-protecting complex that uses innovative technology to control moisture. This helps to protect the hair against breakage for an even colour result.
How does the clear shade work, and how do you use it?
Clear is amazing for glossing and adding shine to hair without damaging it. It can soften down any of the colours in the Igora Vibrance range.
How much can you expect to pay for an Igora Vibrance colour?
Our semi-permanent glossing colour service at Exile Hair Design starts from $60 to $165, depending on hair length.
The sun is harsh on coloured hair. What is your best hair tip for summer?
Glossing, glossing, and glossing. This is a fantastic colour service (or you also have the Clear Igora Vibrance), for adding shine and condition and neutralising any unwanted brassy tones that UV rays create.
