9 minutes color is a fast-processing, full coverage permanent hair color. This cream-based color contains high-quality pigments, has a low ammonia content (3%), and an opaque finish.
9 minutes color is able to process in 1/3 of the time of typical permanent hair color, thanks in large part to bio-fermented daisy extract. This unique extraction process releases additional benefits and a high concentration of natural sugars, that enriches the Phyto-complex. This results in powerful antioxidant properties, along with additional strengthening flavonoids.
Additionally, 9 minutes color also contains blueberry extract, sunflower oil and our amino acid complex.
