Ammonia-Free Permanent Colour for Normal Hair

L'Oreal Professionnel Inoa 5.1/5B is an ammonia-free permanent hair colour designed for normal adult hair. It uses ODS2 technology to deliver full white-hair coverage and up to three levels of lift in 35 minutes. The 60 g tube mixes in a one-to-one ratio with developer for straightforward salon application.

Practical Limits of ODS2 Ammonia-Free Formula

The ammonia-free system reduces scalp discomfort and leaves hair feeling softer and more hydrated after colouring. Shine increases by up to 50 percent compared with untreated hair. Maximum lift is capped at three levels, so darker bases targeting lighter shades may need pre-lightening. Processing time is fixed at 35 minutes for consistent results.

Check Developer Strength and Professional Skill

Verify you have the correct peroxide developer volume for the desired lift and that a 1:1 mixing ratio suits your salon workflow. The product is formulated for professional expertise; incorrect timing or developer choice can cause uneven tone or damage. A strand test is essential before full application to confirm the 5.1/5B Light Ash Brown result on your client's base.
