LK CREAM COLOR - 3/85 Dark Violet Red Brown: Deep Mystique & Luxury

Immerse yourself in the captivating depth of LK Cream Color - 3/85 Dark Violet Red Brown. This professional permanent hair color, available at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply, is the epitome of sophisticated drama. Combining a very dark brown base with intense violet and red undertones, it creates a "Deep Mulberry" or "Midnight Wine" effect. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a high-fashion, mysterious look that retains the classic richness of a dark brunette foundation.

Features and Benefits:

Intense Dual-Reflect Formula: The 3/85 shade features a unique blend of primary violet (.8) and secondary red (.5) reflects, delivering a cool-toned, multi-dimensional finish that glows under the light.
Anti-Age Phyto-Enhancer: Utilizing professional-grade micro-pigments, this formula ensures deep penetration even in aging or resistant hair, restoring a smooth, youthful texture.
Maximum Grey Coverage: Provides 100% opaque coverage for grey and white hair, ensuring that the dark violet-red tones remain consistent and seamless from root to tip.
Low Ammonia for Comfort: Engineered to be gentle on both the scalp and the hair fiber, maintaining natural strength and shine while minimizing irritation during the process at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply.
Ultra-Glossy Finish: Enriched with conditioning agents that seal the hair cuticle, creating a reflective "glass-hair" effect that emphasizes the rich violet-red pigments.
Fade-Resistant Technology: Designed to lock color deep within the hair cortex, ensuring your dark mulberry tones stay vibrant and resist the "dulling" effect common in dark fashion shades.

How to Use:

Mixing: Mix LK Cream Color - 3/85 in a 1:1 ratio with the appropriate professional developer (e.g., 20 Vol for standard coloring or 10 Vol for a deeper, deposit-only result).
Application: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair. For regrowth, focus on the roots; for a total transformation, apply globally for a rich, uniform look.
Processing Time: Allow the color to develop for 35 to 45 minutes to ensure the deep violet and red molecules are fully stabilized.
Emulsifying: Add a small amount of warm water and massage gently to emulsify the cream, enhancing the final shine.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly until the water is clear, then follow with a color-safe treatment from Oz Nails & Beauty Supply to protect the integrity of the shade.

FAQs:
