Let's talk about one of the most game-changing products in our salon arsenal that honestly doesn't get enough credit – grey drops! We're talking about those little miracle workers that can transform your grey coverage from "meh" to absolutely phenomenal. And trust us, once you understand what these babies can really do, you'll wonder how you ever worked without them.
Grey drops, or as we like to call them by their proper name – Gray Oxidizing Drops (G.O.D) – are specialized additives that tackle the biggest challenge in hair coloring: stubborn grey coverage. The Dennis Bernard Powertools G.O.D that we stock is honestly the bomb when it comes to getting those greys to cooperate!
Here's the thing most people don't realize – grey hair isn't actually grey. It's hair that's lost its natural red and yellow pigments, making it incredibly resistant to color absorption. Your standard hair color formula just slides right off because there's nothing for it to grab onto. That's where our grey drops come in to save the day!
We absolutely love the science behind how these drops work – it's honestly fascinating! When you add Dennis Bernard Powertools G.O.D to your color formula, you're essentially pre-loading those missing pigments back into the hair. The drops contain concentrated red and yellow pigments along with gentle wetting agents that help lift the cuticle just enough to let the color penetrate deeper into the cortex.
The low amount of ammonium hydroxide in the formula is pure genius – it opens the hair structure without damaging it, creating the perfect pathway for color absorption. This is why we see such incredible coverage results that last!
At Glide, we've watched stylists transform their grey coverage game with these drops, and the results speak for themselves! Here's why our professional customers can't get enough of the Dennis Bernard Powertools range:
Versatility is king! You can use G.O.D with any manufacturer's permanent, demi-permanent, and semi-permanent hair color. Talk about making your life easier – no matter what color line you're working with, these drops will boost your results.
The coverage is phenomenal. We're talking about grey hair that previously needed multiple applications now getting full coverage in one session. That's efficiency and client satisfaction rolled into one!
It's not just about coverage – these drops actually help prevent fading and maintain color vibrancy between appointments. Your clients will thank you for colors that look fresh for weeks longer.
Here's where we get into the nitty-gritty that can make or break your results. The standard recommendation is 10 drops per 30 ml of color formula, ( but here's our insider tip – many of our professional customers find that 5-7 drops per 30 ml gives them fantastic results without over-depositing color.
Don't panic when your color mixture turns purple or takes on an orangey hue – that's exactly what should happen! Those concentrated pigments are doing their job. The final result on the hair will be beautiful, natural-looking coverage.
We absolutely love recommending product combinations that amplify results, and the Dennis Bernard Powertools line gives us so many fantastic options! Pairing G.O.D with TCA (The Color Accelerator) creates what we call the "power couple" of grey coverage – maximum color absorption with reduced processing time.
For clients with particularly resistant or damaged grey hair, we recommend starting with CFI (Color n' Texture Filler Insurance) as a pre-treatment, then following with your G.O.D-enhanced color formula. This combination fills porosity issues while ensuring even color distribution from root to tip.
Here's where things get exciting! G.O.D isn't just for your color bowl. You can add 3-5 drops to shampoo to refresh red and warm toned colors between appointments – your clients will love how their color stays vibrant longer!
We've also seen stylists add drops to conditioners for maintenance treatments. At 10 drops per 30 ml , this creates an at-home treatment that helps prevent color oxidation and fading. It's like giving your clients a mini color refresh every wash!
Standard processing times don't always apply when you're using grey drops, and that's actually a good thing! Many of our customers report leaving color on for 45 minutes to an hour (beyond application time) for optimal results on particularly stubborn greys.
The extended processing time allows the drops to work their magic fully, ensuring complete penetration and saturation. Your clients might spend a little longer in the chair, but the payoff in coverage and longevity is absolutely worth it.
Not all colors play well with grey drops, and we want you to get the best results possible! G.O.D works phenomenally with brown, dark brown, and red tones because these colors benefit most from the additional warm pigments. The drops add incredible "punch" to red formulations and can even help correct chlorine discoloration – talk about multi-tasking!
However, these drops work exclusively with oxidative colors – those that use developer or peroxide. You cannot use them with color stains, temporary colors, or non-oxidative formulas.
We've seen even experienced colorists make these mistakes when they first start using grey drops, so let's save you some trial and error!
First, don't go full strength right away. Start with half the recommended dosage and build up if needed. Over-depositing warm pigments can muddy your color results.
Second, remember that these drops don't work miracles on their own – proper sectioning, thorough application, and adequate processing time are still essential for perfect results.
Finally, don't forget that grey drops are additives, not standalone products. They enhance your existing color formula but don't replace proper color selection and technique.
Here's something that separates good colorists from great ones – understanding that grey coverage is an ongoing relationship, not a one-time event. The Dennis Bernard Powertools range gives you everything you need to maintain those gorgeous results between appointments.
Adding drops to professional shampoos creates a maintenance system that keeps colors fresh and vibrant. Your clients will notice the difference, and you'll see them less frequently for touch-ups – which means happier clients and better appointment scheduling for you!
At Glide Hair Tools, we could stock any grey drops on the market, but we specifically chose the Dennis Bernard Powertools line because it consistently delivers professional-grade results. The formulation is gentle enough for regular use but powerful enough to handle the most resistant greys.
The entire Powertools range works synergistically together, giving you options to customize treatments for each client's specific needs. Whether you're dealing with porous hair, resistant greys, or color correction challenges, there's a PowerTools solution that fits perfectly into your service menu.
We've watched countless stylists transform their grey coverage results with these products, and honestly, there's nothing quite like seeing that moment when everything clicks and you achieve perfect, even coverage on hair that was previously impossible to color.
Ready to revolutionize your grey coverage game? The Dennis Bernard Powertools range is waiting to become your new secret weapon in creating stunning, long-lasting color results that keep your clients coming back for more!
