Unika Agilise Blue Gel Anti Yellow 1 Liter

The Unika Agilise Blue Gel Anti Yellow 1 Liter is a professional-grade toning and matting treatment specifically formulated for blonde, bleached, highlighted, or gray hair. Its "Blue Gel" consistency and "Anti Yellow" function indicate that it contains violet and/or blue pigments designed to neutralize unwanted yellow, orange, or brassy tones that often appear in lighter hair shades. Beyond toning, it typically offers conditioning and hydrating benefits, helping to maintain the health and shine of chemically processed hair. This product is likely part of a broader professional line by Agilise, aimed at achieving and maintaining beautiful, cool-toned blonde results.

Effects:

Yellow/Orange Tone Neutralization: Effectively eliminates and neutralizes brassy yellow and orange undertones in blonde, bleached, highlighted, or gray hair, leaving behind a cleaner, cooler, and more desirable shade.

Cool Tone Enhancement: Enhances cool blonde, ash, or silver tones, providing a more refined and elegant look.

Color Correction: Acts as a color corrector to balance the hair's tone after bleaching or highlighting.

Shine and Softness: While primarily a toner, it often contains conditioning agents that leave the hair soft, hydrated, and with increased luminosity.

Improved Hair Appearance: Revitalizes dull, brassy hair, making it look fresher and more vibrant.

Professional Finish: Designed to deliver salon-quality toning results.

Mode of Use (General Guidance - PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. Always perform a strand test and follow the manufacturer's specific instructions precisely for safety and optimal results, as formulations and application steps can vary slightly between brands):

Important Pre-Cautions:

Strand Test: Always perform a strand test on a small, inconspicuous section of hair first to determine the exact processing time needed and to ensure the desired toning result. This prevents over-toning (which can result in purple/blue hair).

Professional Application: This product is intended for professional use only.

Gloves: Always wear appropriate gloves during application to prevent staining hands.

Porous Hair: Be especially cautious with very porous or damaged hair, as it can absorb pigments more intensely and quickly.

Typical Application Steps:

Hair Preparation:

Wash hair with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Do NOT use a clarifying or anti-residue shampoo, as this can make the hair too porous.

Rinse thoroughly.

Towel-dry hair very well to remove excess water. Hair should be damp, not dripping wet, to allow for optimal product absorption and prevent dilution.

Application of Blue Gel Anti Yellow:

Shake the product well before use.

Divide hair into sections.

Apply the Unika Agilise Blue Gel Anti Yellow evenly to the sections of hair that need toning (typically the lighter, brassy areas).

Distribute the product thoroughly, ensuring even coverage from roots to ends (or wherever toning is required). Use a comb to help distribute.

Processing Time:

This is the MOST CRITICAL STEP for a toning product.

Monitor the hair constantly during processing. The time can vary greatly depending on the hair's porosity, current tone, and desired result.

Typically, leave on for 5 to 15 minutes. For very light or porous hair, it might be even less (e.g., 1-3 minutes). For very brassy or resistant hair, it might be slightly longer.

Continuously check a strand of hair by wiping off a small amount of product to see the color change. Stop when the desired tone is achieved. Do not over-process.

Rinsing:

Once the desired tone is achieved (or just before it over-tones), rinse the hair thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water until the water runs clear and no product residue remains.

Conditioning/Mask:

After rinsing, apply a hydrating conditioner or a nourishing hair mask to restore moisture and seal the cuticle. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse well.

Finalization:

Towel-dry and style as desired.

Post-Treatment Care:

Advise clients to use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, especially those formulated for color-treated or blonde hair, to maintain the tone and prevent rapid fading.

Recommend using the Unika Agilise Blue Gel Anti Yellow (or a similar anti-yellow mask) for periodic maintenance toning as needed, typically once every 1-2 weeks or when brassiness reappears.

Suggest using heat protectants when styling with heat tools.
