Do yourself a favour and at the end of these notes watch the short 2 min video that Remo shares to give you that hairdresser info.

For over 40 years, POWEROOLS® TCA™ has quietly worked its way into the hands of the world’s best colourists and stylists — not as a trend, but as a staple. Why? Because it works. This isn’t just another bottle on your bench — it’s a proven tool that elevates your results, saves your time, protects your reputation, and adds value to every single service.

What is TCA?

TCA (The Colour Accelerator) is a powerful additive that supercharges the performance of any professional colour, bleach, foil, high lift tint, demi-permanent, or perm service. It’s compatible with all manufacturers’ products, works with or without heat, and drastically reduces processing times by 50–66%. Simply add it to your colour or perm formula, and let the magic happen.

The Key Benefits:

? Accelerates Processing Times

Cuts down development time from 30 minutes to as little as 10. That’s more clients per day, less time per service, and increased profits without rushing.

? Works with Any Colour or Bleach Brand (excluding oil colours)

No need to change what you love — just make it work smarter and faster.

? Eliminates Colour Fade-Out

Locks in the vibrancy of your colours and tones, especially important for reds, vivids, and toners that traditionally fade fast.

? Improves Hair Health

Preserves the condition of the hair by reducing exposure time and eliminating unnecessary heat. Clients leave with silkier, healthier-feeling hair every time.

? Excellent for Gray Coverage

Struggling with resistant greys? TCA softens the cuticle just enough to allow better dye penetration without over-processing or harshness.

Bonus Benefit: Game-Changing for Perm Services

Using TCA during perms is a revolutionary upgrade for traditional perming systems. Here’s why:

• Increased Perm Longevity: Clients report better wave retention and longer-lasting bounce.
• Improved Curl Uniformity: TCA helps the perm lotion penetrate evenly, reducing inconsistent curl patterns.
• Gentler on the Hair: By reducing processing time, the hair spends less time under chemical stress, improving post-perm texture and shine.
• Faster Results: TCA speeds up the perm process just like it does with colour — a full perm in less time without sacrificing quality.

To use: simply add 5 drops of TCA into your neutralizer, shake well, and apply as usual. It’s an easy tweak that makes a massive difference in your results.

? Real Salon Stories (Case Studies):

Georgie, a busy attorney, now has her full colour processed in half the time using TCA — in and out with perfect results.

Hairlines Salon upgraded their backbar treatments by adding TCA into conditioning sessions — under a low dryer, clients noticed softer, shinier hair instantly.

Stevie, a stylist frustrated by red tones fading too fast, added TCA to her reds and finally saw long-lasting results her clients loved.

Perm Clients now get smoother, longer-lasting curls with less frizz, thanks to TCA’s perm-enhancing properties.

Three Easy Ways to Use TCA:

1. Standard Processing: Use it as you normally would — just add TCA drops to your formula and enjoy better coverage, vibrancy, and hair health.
2. No Heat Method: Apply and cover the hair with a cap — process in half the time using body heat only.
3. Low Heat Method: Use a preheated low dryer with a perforated cap for rapid results — perfect for busy salons.

Suggested Usage:

Perms & Waves: Add 5 drops to your neutralizer, shake, and apply as directed.
