FAQ

Q: What are Affinage Elixir Infiniti Permanent Extra Grey Coverage Shades? A: These are the .0X Extra Grey Coverage shades in the Elixir Infiniti permanent color line. They feature extra-intense pigments for maximum deposit on ultra-resistant white or grey hair. They provide flawless, even 100% coverage without needing additional boosters in most cases and maintain hair condition with nourishing ingredients.

Q: What are the key features and technology? A:

• Extra-intense pigments (.0X series) — optimized for very resistant grey/white hair.
• GPS-TECnology — precisely directs color to the cortex for incredible coverage and longevity.
• Ultra-low ammonia with naturally derived ingredients (over 90%).
• Enriched with shea butter, argan oil, and conditioning agents for shine and suppleness.
• Vegan-friendly options and excellent fade resistance.

Q: Who are these shades best for? A: Salon professionals use them for clients with:

• High percentages (70–100%) of resistant white/grey hair.
• Coarse, stubborn, or Asian hair types that resist standard colors.
• Need for reliable, even coverage on difficult hair without patchiness. Ideal when .01 Natural Ash shades are not strong enough.

Q: How do you apply Elixir Infiniti Extra Grey Coverage Shades? A:

1. Perform a skin patch test 48 hours prior.
2. Mix 1:1.5 (color:developer) or 1:1 for maximum coverage with Elixir Crème Developer (use 3% / 10 vol for no-lift).
3. Apply to dry or pre-cleansed towel-dried hair.
4. Process 30–45 minutes (add extra time for resistant hair).
5. Rinse and shampoo with color-protect products. For ultra-resistant cases, mix with ¼ .0X base or go 1 level darker.

Q: How often should clients recolor? A: Root touch-ups every 4–6 weeks. Full color every 6–8 weeks. Use color-protecting shampoo and conditioner (like ASP System Blonde or Elixir care) to maintain vibrancy.

Q: What results can clients expect? A:

• 100% flawless coverage on very resistant grey/white hair.
• Rich, natural-looking depth with vibrant tones.
• Conditioned, shiny, and supple hair.
• Long-lasting color with minimal fade.
• Even results on difficult hair textures.

Q: Is Elixir Infiniti Extra Grey Coverage safe? A: Yes, when used by trained professionals. Ultra-low ammonia formula is gentler on hair. Always perform a skin patch test 48 hours prior. Avoid eye contact and follow instructions. Not for home use without professional supervision.

Q: What shades are available? A: Popular .0X Extra Grey shades include 2.0X Very Dark Brown, 3.0X, up to 9.0X Extra Light levels, plus mixes with fashion tones. They complement the .01 series and regular shades.

Q: What is the difference between .0X Extra Grey, .01, and regular shades? A: .0X offers the strongest pigment intensity for very resistant grey hair. .01 suits resistant (but not ultra-resistant) hair. Regular shades work for minimal grey. All share the same advanced technology but vary in coverage strength.

Q: Available sizes and packaging? A: Professional 100 ml / 3.4 oz tubes — ideal for salon mixing and precision. Often available in kits with extra coverage options.
