FAQ

Q1) What is Tocco Magico Universal Oxy 40 Volume Developer?
Tocco Magico Universal Oxy 40 Volume Developer is a professional oxidizing emulsion used with permanent hair color and lightening products. It’s part of the brand’s Universal OXY developer range, formulated to work with multiple color systems and lighteners within the Tocco Magico portfolio. 

Purpose & Uses

Q2) What is 40 Volume Developer used for?
40 Volume Developer has a strong lifting power — it helps lift the natural hair color several levels when mixed with hair color cream or lightening powders/creams. This makes it useful when a high level of lift (to achieve lighter blonde results) or maximum deposit is needed. 

Q3) Which Tocco Magico products is it compatible with?
The Universal Oxy developers (10, 20, 30, and 40 volume) are designed to work with Tocco Magico’s:
• Color-Ton Permanent Color
• Multi Complex Permanent Color
• FreeLux Color Line
• De Light Universal (violet) Powder Lightener
• DeColor Cream
• Free Blond Lightener Paste
— giving stylists versatility with one developer series. 

Q4) What does “40 Volume” actually mean?
The “40 volume” refers to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the developer. Higher volume developers like 40 vol provide greater lifting ability (lightening darker hair more dramatically) compared to lower volumes such as 10 vol or 20 vol. 

Q5) How is this developer typically mixed?
For permanent hair color, the developer is mixed with color cream (often around a 1:1.5 ratio, depending on the specific system and product instructions). When lightening, it’s mixed with the specified bleaching powder or cream according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Always follow professional guidelines for ratios and timing. 

Professional Tips & Safety

Q6) Is 40 Volume Developer safe for all clients?
40 Volume Developer is strong and should be used by trained professionals only. It can be more irritating to the scalp and stresses the hair more than lower volumes, so careful assessment of hair condition and texture is critical before use.

Q7) Can it damage hair?
Yes — higher volume developers can increase hair lift while potentially weakening the hair structure if not used properly or without pre- and post-treatments. Always adhere to recommended processing times and consider bond protection products when performing high-lift services. 

Stylist Best Practices

Q8) When should I choose 40 vol vs 30 vol or 20 vol?
• 20 vol – Standard lift for most permanent color and subtle lightening
• 30 vol – Stronger lift for lighter tones or darker bases
• 40 vol – Maximum lift situations (high lift color formulas or lightening before toner)
Choosing the right volume balances lift needs with hair integrity. 

Q9) Can I use it with demi-permanent colors?
Universal Oxy developers are generally used with permanent color and lightening services. Demi-permanent lines like Rhol often recommend a specific lower-volume developer (e.g., 7 vol for Rhol demi color).

Q10) How should clients care for hair after high-lift services?
Recommend sulfate-free color-safe shampoos, deep conditioning treatments, protein/bond rebuilding masks, and heat/UV protection to maintain strength and color between salon visits.
