Maria Nila Colour Refresh Vivid Violet 0.22

Maria Nila Colour Refresh Vivid Violet is a nourishing colour-depositing mask for temporarily refreshing hair colour. It is ideal between salon visits or for a short-term colour change when you want to give the hair a more expressive tone, shine, and a more polished look.

Benefits

• Refreshes hair colour with temporary violet pigments
• Gives medium-dark to dark hair an intense purple and violet tone
• Suitable for hair at depth levels 2–7

• Argan oil helps hydrate the hair fibre and reduce frizz

• The final intensity depends on the processing time, hair quality, and starting colour
• The effect gradually washes out and usually lasts for approximately 4–10 washes
• Can be mixed with White Mix to create softer pastel tones
• For lighter hair, we recommend diluting it with White Mix, as the result may be too intense or leave unwanted staining

• Do not use before lightening, as pigment residue may affect the bleaching result
• 100% vegan, sulphate-free, and paraben-free

Key ingredients

• Temporary colour pigments – help give the hair a visible violet tone without permanent colouring. The pigments settle on the surface of the hair and gradually wash out over several washes.
• Argan oil – a caring oil that helps provide hydration, softness, and a smoother hair surface, leaving the colour result looking glossy and polished.
• Panthenol, sunflower oil, and hydrolysed wheat protein – additional caring ingredients that support a smoother hair feel, shine, and better manageability after rinsing.

How to use

1. Wash the hair with shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and towel-dry.
2. Wear protective gloves to prevent the pigment from staining your hands.
3. Apply Colour Refresh evenly through the entire hair or only to selected sections.
4. Distribute the product with your fingers or a comb for an even result.
5. For a softer shade, mix Vivid Violet with White Mix.
6. Leave on for 3–10 minutes depending on the desired intensity.
7. Rinse thoroughly with water until the water runs clear.
8. Finish with conditioner to close the cuticle and help the result last longer.
9. We recommend performing a strand test before use, especially on light, porous, or chemically treated hair.

Warning: Always wear gloves during application. The product may stain the skin, towels, clothing, or porous surfaces. Do not apply to eyelashes or eyebrows. The manufacturer recommends performing a sensitivity test and a strand test before each application. Do not use before lightening, and always inform your hairdresser if you have used Colour Refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

• Is it suitable for light hair? For light hair, the manufacturer recommends diluting the shade with White Mix, as Vivid Violet may be too intense or leave unwanted staining.
• Does it cover grey hair? No, Maria Nila states that Colour Refresh does not cover grey hair. It is a temporary colour-depositing mask, not a permanent hair colour.
• Can it be used before lightening? No, the manufacturer does not recommend using it before any lightening service, as pigment residue may cause an unwanted colour result.
