INDOLA PCC colour & Developers at a glance
With a whole new look with the same high-performing vegan formulas, the newly relaunched INDOLA PCC offers an intermixable, compact portfolio of 85 shades with a solution for every client.

INDOLA uses one high-performing line of developers with four strengths compatible with all permanent colours from INDOLA, giving optimised results with:
You can expect…
- Colour longevity.
- Superior shine
- Unique care ingredients to detangle and smooth.
- Great colour retention.
Micro-dye molecules and amino acids penetrate deep into each hair for unrivalled true colour without compromise and up to 100% coverage. The cationic care agent in INDOLA’S cream developer unlocks the full caring benefits of this system.
INDOLA’s formulas deliver excellent results and provide smart solutions to everyday hairdresser needs.
In addition to the compact and intuitive core assortment, the Smart Creatives product line was developed to multiply service opportunities without the need for multiple products including an innovation that substitutes an entire demi-permanent line with ONE hero product, the Color Transformer – you don’t need a huge assortment to be a smart colourist.
INDOLA Color Transformer
INDOLA Color Transformer with technology that converts permanent INDOLA shades into demi-permanent colours with an easy 1:1 mixing ratio. The colour result is flawless from roots to tip, resulting in shiny and healthy-looking hair.
How to choose the right colour
Step One: Identify your client’s hair condition
This will determine which colour services are feasible and which are not. Are the roots, mid-length and ends currently in a virgin condition, coloured or treated with a form product? Is the condition of your client’s hair normal, porous or extremely porous? For extremely porous hair, consider performing a strand test first.
Step Two: Determine the current colour of your client’s hair
Identify depth and tonal direction, and white hair percentage.
Step Three: Create a personalised colour recipe for your client’s hair
Take into consideration that the roots and mid-lengths are not always in the same condition and might be treated with different colour mixtures.
What is the desired target level?
- If you want to go lighter, how many levels of lift do you want to achieve?
- Which developer strength is needed to achieve the desired level?
- What is the underlying pigment, and do you want to enhance or replace it?
