Adding ColorFix™ to Your Herbal Grey Hair Shampoo

Yes, you can add ColorFix™ (helps hair color stick better) to your herbal grey hair shampoo formula. This ingredient is designed to help semi-permanent hair colors adhere better to the hair and last longer, which is beneficial for herbal dyes that function similarly to semi-permanent colors.

How it works:
ColorFix™ has cationic properties that help coat the hair strands. This coating helps to lock in the color pigments from your herbal powder, preventing them from being washed away easily by the shampoo's detergent.

Compatibility:
ColorFix™ is soluble in water and detergents, making it compatible with the base of your shampoo formula containing Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Tween 80. Its compatibility with your specific herbal powder should also be good, as it works by enhancing the adherence of color to the hair surface.

Usage Recommendation:

• The recommended usage rate for shampoo formulas is 0.6%.
• It can be mixed directly into the water phase or the detergent phase of your formula.

Important Note:
For best results, the product description recommends adjusting the pH of your shampoo formulation to not lower than 8.0 when using ColorFix™ together with semi-permanent hair color. This alkaline pH helps the hair cuticle open slightly, allowing for better color deposition and attachment facilitated by ColorFix™.

By incorporating ColorFix™ and potentially adjusting the pH, you can improve the color fastness of your herbal grey hair shampoo.
