To celebrate 30 years of Salons Direct supplying the hair industry, the team at Pulp Riot have asked 30 of their favourite hair artists to share 30 of their best Pulp Riot colour recipes! Whether you’re new to Pulp Riot or already love and use their High-Speed Toners, Faction8, Semi-Permanent Colour , Liquid Demi-Permanent Colour, or Bleach Developers, see how Pulp Riot’s hair artist ambassadors use their favourite Pulp Riot products to create some fantastic colour combos. My favourite formula is Area 51& Absinthe for the green with Nightfall & Decoy for the Blue. It’s my absolute favourite because the colours sit together so well and create amazing shine & due. To mix deeper and lighter tones, I can mix the semi-permanent together to create a bespoke colour for my clients each time.

The Pulp Riot semi-permanent hair colour range includes hair dyes, high speed stoners and developers. Unleash the inner artist on your clients hair and "paint" them a style unique to them. I personally love 10g Icy and 5g Rose Gold in High-Speed Toners mixed 1:3 with the developer. This gives the perfect pinky pearly. Almost a mother pearl colour, in just 5 mins! It’s so great because with the toners, you can make it more pigmented by simply adding less developer and leaving it on longer. The results also vary depending on the base. If their base is warmer, the colour will reflect more warmth. If the base underneath is cooler, then it comes out with this perfect iridescent colour. I simply just love it. Next up, we have the superb capsule Fudge Headpaint Toner range. It’s a completely vegan collection, and in our opinion, it’s an absolute must-have in any salon setting – and we’ll tell you why.

My favourite formula is Liquid Demi7-4 + 6-4, blended down into 9-4 and -44 to create a beautiful Copper look! My favourite formula is Liquid Demi ¾ 0-0 & ¼ 7-4 to create the perfect pastel peach. I love this tone and am so happy to see it as the biggest trend of this year. Get me that warm Summer look vibe! My favourite formula is Silver& Icy High-Speed Toner in equal parts, it’s the perfect Platinum Silver! My Favourite formula is Clear mixed with a few drops of Fireballto create the most offensively bright neon pink. It’s a real show stopper!

Pulp Riot only uses the highest qualityveganingredients chosen for their reparative and restoring properties to maintain and improve the integrity of the hair. Pulp Riot use pigments with deep rich colour that increase longevity and fade beautifully while staying within the same tone as the original shade. Their commitment to using the best ingredients means that hair is healthier, allowing for longer lasting beautiful colour. The toners come in 8 shades and can all be intermixed, although they are stunning even on their own as you can see from the Rose gold.” This also improves the contrast of green when the colour starts fading, not allowing it to become aquamarine but staying true to tone, becoming a more pastel blue wash after wash. My formula for the blue in the picture: Fresh hair after bleach level 9-10, ½ Nightfall& ½ Jam. For a deeper blue, I recommend 2/3 Nightfall& 1/3 Velvet.What you can expect to see in the results is an unparalleled blonde tone enhancement throughout or neutralisation of unwanted warm tones. Produce beautiful, long lasting colour transformations with Pulp Riot’s high speed hair toner. An essential for post-bleaching treatments, this high performing toner develops in just 5 minutes, offering intense colour pigmentation to help hair stylists deliver the perfect colour result. Firstly, we’re starting with the ultimate post bleach essential – the Pulp Riot High Speed Toner collection.

This one here I created using the shade Rose Gold, this was mixed on a 1:2 ratio colour: developer with 6 vol (1.9%) for only 5 minutes.” Mix 1 part colour with 2 to 4 parts developer in a non-metallic bowl. For best results, mix with either the Pulp Riot superior scalp developer 10 or 6 volume. Once mixed to your preferred ratio, apply the toner to dry or damp hair and leave on for 5 to 20 minutes depending on the desired level of intensity. Once the toner has processed, gently shampoo your client’s hair. Blue muse and clear look amazing, teamed with lilac! I created this ribbon-like vivid look with these shades, which is my favourite.When you use Indola Profession Blonde Expert, expect an unbeatable finish in all areas. Think radiance, smoothness, suppleness, voluminous shades of blonde hair. It’s the perfect toner to depend on to complement your technique, no matter the difficulty. Here’s my full shopping list of products I used to create the look: Pulp Riot High Speed Toner Rose Gold 90ml My favourite formula is vibrant blue shades. I used to pre-tone after a scalp bleach before mixing blue, but it always had a tiny shade of green underneath the surface. Instead, I found that if I just mix a purple/pink colour with the blue, that one will work as a pre-toner, contrasting the warmth completely and, consequently, no greenish shades at the end. So the result will be a pure, vibrant blue.
