Fudge Professional Clean Blonde Pre Toning Primer (£16) is a copper removal hair product that helps to keep hair toned for longer. It’s especially good for those living in hard water areas. Metal ions and minerals from hard water deposit on the outside of the hair surface leaving it looking patchy and dull. In addition, metal ions like copper can penetrate into the hair due to their small molecular weight. These then interfere with the bonds between hair colour molecules in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (bleach) to leave hair with patchy, unpredictable colour results and weak and damaged hair. Working in under 2 minutes, this fast-acting primer transforms your tone, leaving hair the brightest and lightest it’s ever been. It’s formulated with E Technology to help remove the surface build-up of colour distorting, dulling, and damaging minerals, like copper, for your most even blonde yet. To order Fudge for your salon visit your local wholesaler or fudgeprofessional.
