CHROMASTICS BY TOM DISPENZA HAIR COLOR DEMI PERMANENT 2fl. oz.

What is Chromastics

• Chromastics is a professional hair color line co-founded by Tom Dispenza and Peter Ciotti.

• It’s designed specifically for salon colorists, with emphasis on giving more creative control to the stylist.

Key Features & Philosophy

1. Limited Shade Palette with Maximum Flexibility

   • Instead of having many dozens of color shades, Chromastics offers a more concise selection:

     • Because the shades are more “pure” (less blended/confounded by unknown “background” tones), you can mix these shades in many ways to achieve custom formulas.

2. Pure Tone / Predictability

   • This helps with predictable mixing, corrections, avoiding muddy or unexpected tones.

3. Color Correction & Efficiency

   • Because of the purity and clarity of shades, corrections tend to be more direct: fewer steps, more control.

   • The line allows stylists to “break base,” add or reduce certain tones more precisely.

“Deposit‑Only” in the Chromastics line refers to a non‑lifting colour — it only deposits pigment, it does not lighten the hair.

So, to your question: Deposit‑Only Colour behaves like a demi‑permanent (or at least somewhere between demi and semi in behavior), because it doesn’t lift the natural pigment. It won’t be “permanent” in the sense of lightening or changing your base level; the colour will fade over time (with washing, exposure etc.).

A developer is required when using Chromastics Deposit-Only Color — but it uses a low-volume developer.
