• Vibrant, long-lasting blondes with minimal brassiness when mixed correctly.
• Healthier-looking lifted hair compared to traditional high-lift colors.

Q: How do you apply Elixir Infiniti High Lift Shades? A:

1. Perform a skin patch test 48 hours prior.
2. Mix 1:1.5 or 1:2 (color:developer) with Elixir Crème Developer (use 9% / 30 vol or 12% / 40 vol for maximum lift; lower volumes possible due to strong lifting power).
3. Apply to dry or towel-dried hair.
4. Process 30–50 minutes (use gentle heat if needed for resistant hair).
5. Rinse and shampoo with color-protect products. Add 12.0S High Lift Booster for extra lift if required.

Q: How often should clients recolor? A: Root touch-ups every 4–6 weeks. Full color refresh every 6–8 weeks. Use color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to maintain vibrancy and prevent brassiness.

Q: What results can clients expect? A:

• Up to 5 levels of clean, pure lift with even results.
• Bright, cool, or pearl blondes with minimal warmth.
• Conditioned, shiny, and supple hair post-lightening.
• Long-lasting color with excellent fade resistance.
• Healthier-looking lifted hair thanks to nourishing technology.

Q: Is Elixir Infiniti High Lift safe? A: Yes, when used by trained professionals. The ultra-low ammonia and conditioning formula is gentler than many high-lift colors. Always perform a skin patch test 48 hours prior. Avoid eye contact and follow instructions.
