Hair color cream Londacolor 5/46 Ruby — permanent cream hair dye

Londacolor Cream hair color 5/46 (Ruby) is a permanent cream hair dye formulated to deliver an intense ruby tone on level 5 base hair. Suitable for both professional salon use and at-home application, this cream dye is intended to be mixed with an appropriate developer to deposit rich, long-lasting pigment while covering natural pigment and previous color. The formulation provides even coverage and controllable results for root retouches, partial updates, and full-head color changes.

Advantages

The cream texture ensures smooth application and good adherence to hair fibers, which helps achieve uniform color distribution and reliable gray coverage. The formula is designed to produce a clear ruby hue with depth and shine when applied on medium-dark bases or on previously lightened hair following appropriate pre-lightening. It is compatible with standard oxidizing developers, allowing colorists and consumers to control lift and tone by choosing the proper developer strength.

Suitable for

• Root touch-ups to refresh regrowth and maintain consistent shade
• Full-head coloring for a complete ruby transformation
• Toning previously lightened hair to achieve a ruby nuance
• Professional salon treatments and controlled at-home applications

Key specifications

• Shade: 5/46 (Ruby tone)
• Form: permanent cream hair dye
• Coverage: natural pigment and previously colored hair
• Application: mix with oxidizing developer (developer strength affects lift and tone)
• Intended base level: medium-dark base (approx. level 5) for optimal shade rendering

How to use

Perform a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before application. Mix the Londacolor cream hair dye 5/46 with a compatible oxidizing developer according to the developer manufacturer's instructions and the desired level of lift or deposit. Apply to dry, unwashed hair for even coverage; for root retouches, apply to regrowth first and process for the recommended time, then blend through the lengths if necessary. Follow the processing time specified by the dye manufacturer, then rinse until the water runs clear and condition the hair. Use gloves and protective tools during the procedure.

Usage recommendations

For consistent ruby results, choose developer strength based on current hair level and previous treatments: lower-volume developer for tone-on-tone or darker results; higher-volume developer for lightening and more intense deposit. Conduct strand tests on previously colored or chemically treated hair to confirm final shade and processing time.
