Developers (hair dye oxidants)

Hair oxidizers are commonly used in hair salons and by individuals who lighten and dye their hair at home. They are essential in hairdressing, simple mixtures that allow you to achieve the desired shade. At Magafi, you can order professional oxidizers from many brands, in packages that best suit your needs. 

What are Hair Oxidizers?

An oxidizer is properly prepared hydrogen peroxide that has hair-lightening properties. In our hairdressing cosmetics store, we offer oxidizers in the form of liquid oxidizing emulsions, ideal for mixing with dye and applying to hair. Without an oxidizer, the dye will not work, as it is necessary to remove the "old" dyes from the hair, both natural and those remaining from previous coloring treatments. Thanks to the oxidizing emulsion, the hair will be ready to accept new dyes. However, every good hairdresser knows that you must act gently but decisively on the hair, which is why they carefully choose the concentration of oxidizers for dyes. Too weak will not lighten the hair, resulting in unsatisfactory coloring effects, while too strong an oxidizer may lighten too much and contribute to the formation of yellow tones. The most commonly used oxidizers have concentrations ranging from 3% to 12%. 

Using an Oxidizer with Dye

Using an oxidizing emulsion is easy, provided that the hairdresser or the person using it independently selects the product and uses it in the correct proportions and monitors the time it acts on the hair. Oxidizers are used during hair coloring with drugstore dyes, professional dyes in hair salons, and at home, as well as during hair lightening treatments with powder or bleach. At Magafi, we recommend branded oxidizers, tested by professionals and home practitioners. These are reliable cosmetics that will assist in lightening hair, darkening by a few shades, or toning, without damaging the hair and risking unwanted colors.
