Which Ônix Liss B.TOX mask should you choose?
Choose by what is on the tub. One of the four carries a violet pigment: the Matizador, which the tub says is for blonde hair. One prints a pause time: the Premium. The Nano ReducSystem and the Bio Performance list the same ingredients, in a different order.
The Premium is the Bio Performance plus tocopheryl acetate, with a pause time of 20 to 30 minutes printed on the tub, which is what you want when you are working to the clock. Below is the quick table, then each tub in turn: what the label says and what we recommend.
Which Ônix Liss B.TOX should you choose?
One question decides it: is there a yellow cast in blonde hair to deal with? If there is, the Matizador is the tub you want, because it is the only one of the four carrying a violet pigment. If there is not, you choose between the other three on what the label says, and we recommend starting with the Bio Performance.
| Mask | Choose it for | What the label says |
|---|---|---|
| Nano ReducSystem | A salon that already works with this tub | ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL, D-PANTENOL on the front; the same ingredients as the Bio Performance, in a different order; no pigment |
| Bio Performance | Your first tub, if you pick one (our advice) | ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL, D-PANTENOL on the front; the Premium's ingredient list without tocopheryl acetate; no pigment |
| Bio Performance Premium | A fixed pause time for the whole team | Pause time on the tub: 20 to 30 minutes. The only one of the four carrying tocopheryl acetate |
| Matizador | Blonde hair with a yellow cast | Acid Violet 43 on the ingredient list; the tub names blonde hair and neutralising unwanted yellow tones |
Which tub for which client?
Four tubs, each with what the label says and what we do with it.
Ônix Liss B.TOX Nano ReducSystem, the tub with the orange print
The front carries ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL and D-PANTENOL. The ingredient list holds the same ingredients as the Bio Performance, in a different order, and no pigment. The method on the tub: wash with an anti-residue shampoo, apply strand by strand along the length, and after the pause time give the hair a light rinse. On the label, choosing this tub is choosing what the Bio Performance holds; we leave the choice between the two to what your clients already know.
Nano ReducSystem 1000 gÔnix Liss B.TOX Bio Performance, the tub we start with
White tub, dark-red front panel, and ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL and D-PANTENOL on the front. The ingredient list is the Premium's without tocopheryl acetate, and there is no pigment on it. The method on the tub: wash with an anti-residue shampoo, apply strand by strand along the length, and after the pause time give the hair a light rinse. If you only keep one Ônix Liss tub on the shelf, we recommend this one.
Bio Performance 1000 gÔnix Liss B.TOX Bio Performance Premium, when you are working to the clock
Black tub with a gold front panel. The ingredient list is the Bio Performance's plus tocopheryl acetate, the only one of the four carrying it. And the tub prints a pause time, 20 to 30 minutes, so the processing time is settled before you start rather than judged by eye. According to the tub, you wash first with a cleansing shampoo, apply strand by strand from roots to ends, rinse with warm water after the pause time and then comb and brush in very fine sections. Choose it when you are running appointments back to back, or when you want a house standard your whole team follows the same way.
Bio Performance Premium 1000 gÔnix Liss B.TOX Matizador, for blonde hair
The Matizador is the neutralising tub of the four, and the only one with a violet pigment on the ingredient list: Acid Violet 43. The tub says it is for blonde hair and neutralises unwanted yellow tones. Violet sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel, which is why it is what the trade reaches for against a brassy cast.
Its list also carries hydrolyzed keratin, which the other three do not. Use it on blonde hair with a yellow cast: that is what the tub names it for, and what we recommend it for.
Matizador 1000 gHow to get the best result
Three things separate a good result from a very good one, and none of them is the tub you picked.
Is the Trio worth it over a single tub?
Our advice: if you run several Ônix Liss tubs in the same week, look at the Trio on the Ônix Liss brand page. If your book leans heavily towards one tub, single tubs are the better buy and your stock turns faster.
