Arctic Developer 4.5%
The essential companion to Arctic Blonding Crème. This dedicated developer is precision-formulated to activate the 1 Step Double Action Toning System, delivering consistent lift with a built-in violet tone that neutralizes unwanted warmth for cooler, cleaner blonde results. Ideal for on-scalp lightening, balayage, and freehand techniques.
Mixing ratios vary by technique.
- For on-scalp work, use a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio with 4.5% Arctic Developer Crème.
- For freehand or balayage, use a 1:1.5 to 1:2 ratio with 4.5% or 7.5% Arctic Developer Crème.
- For foiling, use a 1:2 ratio with 4.5% or 7.5% Arctic Developer Crème.
Development time is visual, up to 50 minutes. Heat is not recommended. Ratios may vary depending on hair texture, porosity and existing damage — finer or damaged hair benefits from a 1:2 ratio for a gentler, steadier lift.
The 4.5% and 7.5% Arctic Developer Crèmes have been scientifically developed to work in synergy with Arctic Blonding Crème.
Both developer and crème contain blue/violet pigments, enabling a double-action toning system that neutralises unwanted yellow, gold or brassy tones for cleaner blonde results.
Arctic Developers are designed for optimum compatibility with Arctic Blonding Crème only and are not recommended for use with Infiniti colours.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing and processing. Use a non-metallic bowl and mix by folding powder and developer — never beat.
APPLICATION
Take fine sections, starting at the darkest area, and apply plenty of product. Do not overlap onto previously lightened hair. Do not add heat. If in doubt about hair quality or metallic salt build-up, perform a strand test first.
REMOVAL
Once the ideal level of lift is achieved, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then gently shampoo and condition. If desired, tone using either Infiniti Permanent or Satin Tone on Tone colour.
