Control Through Chemistry, Not Force
For decades, significant lift required a multi-step process—lightener first, then color. This meant longer appointments, more product, and compromises in achieving the desired result.
SpektraLift is a professional color regulator that allows lift and deposit to happen at the same time by controlling oxidation timing. The result is more control, fewer steps, and better outcomes—using your existing color system.
Professional testing has demonstrated significant lift potential with improved pigment efficiency and predictability. SpektraLift works within oxidative hair color systems you already trust, and results improve with understanding, patience, and professional judgment.
Better Results Through Better Chemistry
SpektraLift performs best in educated, informed, disciplined hands. It's not a shortcut, corrective system, or replacement for education—it's a tool that rewards colorists who value predictability, control, and understanding.
Professional colorists have observed improved control, better predictability over time, and the ability to lift through previously colored hair while depositing tone. Hair often feels better post-service due to reduced aggressive reaction conditions.
Developed by Rosalie Merkel and Dale Smith with 45+ years of combined hands-on industry experience, SpektraLift was built by professionals who understand that results reward patience and understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about SpektraLift and how Regulated Oxidation Technology® supports professional colorists who value predictability, control, and education-first innovation.
SpektraLift™ is a professional hair color additive developed to modify how oxidative hair color systems behave once mixed. It is designed to improve efficiency, predictability, and pigment utilization through controlled oxidation rather than increased force.
Regulated Oxidation Technology® refers to a controlled oxidative environment designed to moderate reaction speed and sequence, improving pigment efficiency and predictability within oxidative hair color systems without increasing alkalinity or reaction intensity.
No. SpektraLift™ is neither a color nor a lightener. It is a reaction-regulating additive intended to be used in combination with professional oxidative hair color systems.
Traditional additives often increase alkalinity or accelerate oxidation. SpektraLift™ works differently by regulating oxidation behavior, allowing chemistry to complete its work more efficiently rather than pushing reactions harder or faster.
In controlled salon testing, professionals have observed the ability to lift through previously colored hair while depositing tone. This occurs through gradual destabilization and reorganization of existing pigment rather than aggressive chromophore destruction. Results may vary based on formulation, hair history, and professional technique.
Yes. Regulated Oxidation Technology® allows lift and deposit processes to coexist by moderating oxidation timing, reducing the competition between melanin degradation and dye polymerization.
SpektraLift™ does not replace foundational color theory. However, evaluators have reported improved penetration and pigment efficiency on resistant grey hair, including with pure tones, when used appropriately.
By reducing aggressive reaction conditions and premature pigment degradation, SpektraLift™ minimizes unnecessary structural stress during processing. This controlled environment often results in improved cosmetic hair feel post-service.
No professional chemical service is damage-free. SpektraLift™ is not a repair product and does not eliminate responsibility for proper formulation, processing, or hair assessment. It is designed to reduce inefficiency and chaos, not remove risk.
In testing, professionals have successfully used SpektraLift™ with various developer strengths. The technology moderates oxidation behavior rather than increasing force, which may explain improved control even in higher-energy systems. Always follow professional judgment and testing protocols.
SpektraLift™ is designed to work within oxidative hair color systems. Compatibility may vary by brand formulation, and professionals are encouraged to test before broad application.
No. SpektraLift™ is not a shortcut, corrective system, or replacement for education. It is a refinement tool intended for professionals who understand formulation, timing, and oxidative chemistry.
SpektraLift™ is designed for professional colorists who value predictability, control, and education-first innovation. It performs best in informed, disciplined hands.
SpektraLift™ does not replace formulation fundamentals, but it may expand what is possible within existing frameworks by improving pigment efficiency and reaction behavior.
Historically, hair color innovation has focused on escalation—higher alkalinity and faster oxidation. Regulated Oxidation Technology® represents a shift toward control and efficiency, a concept common in other areas of chemistry but newly articulated in professional hair color.
