Oiamiga is a gentle colour range that can be used for darkening, tinting or grey coverage. You can lighten un-dyed hair by one base shade, sometimes two. If you want to use a significantly lighter shade, you'll need to pre-lighten.

1. Shampoo and rinse throughly
The included charcoal pre-colour shampoo helps remove product build-up to prepare your hair for fabulous results.
2. Mix and Apply
Tip the colour into the rapid activator and shake, before applying to towel-dried hair. Oiamiga works best on slightly damp hair.
3. Wait
The rapid activator can shave 20 minutes off your colour's processing time.
Looking for full coverage? Wait between 30 and 40 minutes (depending on how stubborn your greys are) for maximum coverage, high colour integrity and the longest lasting colour.
Want to naturally blend your greys? In that case, 20 minutes should do the trick (and is also the perfect length for a beard or moustache).
4. Rinse and Condition
Add a bit of water to lather, then rinse until the water runs clear. Squeeze out excess water, then use the included conditioner to lock in your colour
You should always patch test at least 48 hours prior to using hair dye - even if it is a brand you have used before. To patch test with Oiamiga:
If you experience any irritation, redness, swelling or burning, it is likely you are allergic to an ingredient in Oiamiga and should not use it. If this happens, please contact us and we will help you to find a more suitable product.
The Oiamiga mix is quite generous, so unless you have long hair (below your shoulder blades) or very thick hair, one box should be ample.
Oiamiga is a really versatile colour that can be used on any hair. For a subtler, less coloured look, as little as 10 minutes can be effective on facial hair.
Oiamiga's inovative Rapid Activator ensures a faster processing time with stronger colours that last longer. Over time, you'll discover the best timings for you, but typical timings are:
On natural hair, Oiamiga can lift one or maybe two shades. However, if you're colouring over pre-coloured hair, you need to choose a shade that is the same depth of colour or darker.
The ingredients vary for each shade, so check out the page for the shade you're interested in, where you will find a full ingredient list.
We've also provide a detailed run down of what the ingredients are in this FAQ post.
Permanent hair colour requires a permanent oxidative pigment to work - be it PPD, PTD, PTDS or PTS - and all of these have the potential to cause an allergic reaction. Oiamiga uses PPD at the lowest possible level to get a great result, which reduces the risk of a reaction.
If you have a known PPD allergy, we'd recommend you contact us - we'd be very happy to help you choose from the other brands we stock.
Oiamiga is a permanent colour. With the longevity benefits from it's Rapid Activator, we'd expect it to last up to 12 weeks, depending of course on a variety of factors such as your hair health, frequency of washing and your preferred shampoo.
