Mila Professional IQ Color – 10-Minute Hair Dye

IQ Color is the original 10-minute hair dye. IQ Color mixes smoothly with dedicated developers. For reliable results, stylists can use Mila Professional IQ Color Peroxide 6%9%, or 3%, depending on the service. Traditional permanent color often needs 30–40 minutes. By contrast, IQ Color works in just 10 minutes. It does this without losing shine, depth, or coverage. As a result, salons can serve more clients and reduce waiting times.

For clients, the difference is clear. Many people do not want to spend hours in the chair. Instead, they prefer quick, reliable services. IQ Color allows them to book a root touch-up during a lunch break. Therefore, salons gain loyalty and repeat customers.

Mila Professional IQ Color – Technology & Oxidants

IQ Color is a vegan, PPD-free permanent hair color formulated with low ammonia content and powered by advanced Lamellar Technology (learn more about Lamellar Technology here). Thanks to this innovation, pigments penetrate the hair faster and more evenly, which significantly reduces processing time. As a result, stylists can achieve vibrant, long-lasting results while still caring for the hair’s natural structure.

The system works in three professional stepsFirst, use IQ Primer to prepare the hair fibre and equalise porosity before colouring. Next, combine IQ Color with the dedicated Oxidant to perform colouring or lifting, depending on the selected shade and developer strength. Finally, finish the service with IQ Color Block Shampoo, which neutralises residues, closes the cuticle, locks in pigment, and ensures shine that lasts.

Processing time starts from just 10 minutes for standard applications. However, when using high-lift blondes, stylists should follow the manufacturer’s shade chart for adjusted timings.

Mixing ratios can be 1:1 or 1:2, and this depends on the selected shade. Therefore, always check the official shade guide to guarantee accuracy.

IQ Color Oxidants:

12% (40 VOL) – for IQ Color High-Lift Blonde shades (11 series) only, to achieve 3–4 levels of lift.

3% (10 VOL) – tone-on-tone, darkening, gentle colouring.

6% (20 VOL) – up to 1–2 levels of lift or up to 50% grey coverage.

9% (30 VOL) – up to 2–3 levels of lift or resistant grey hair.

Gentle and Vegan Formula

Stylists choose IQ Color for its gentle, vegan-friendly formula. The dye is PPD-free and low in ammonia. It also contains soothing ingredients.
