From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.L'Oréal -- the beauty brand that built its name with its hair-coloring products a hundred years ago -- has launched a new hair colorant called INOA (standing for Innovation No Ammonia), designed as an alternative to the traditional ammonia-based products, which smell bad and sting the scalp.
L'Oréal - the beauty brand that built its name with its hair-coloring products a hundred years ago - has launched a new hair colorant called INOA (standing for Innovation No Ammonia), designed as an alternative to the traditional ammonia-based products, which smell bad and sting the scalp.
The new hair coloring system - described by L'Oréal as a "revolution" and no less than the "iPhone of the hair color industry," made up of an oleo gel, a developer, and the actual hair color - is based on so-called ODS (Oil Delivery System) technology, which relies on oil instead of water to maximize the coloring's impact.
The result, according to the brand, is an odorless colorant with improved scalp comfort and softer texture of the hair, results that have been confirmed by the majority of testing salon owners in Europe and the US.
In addition, L'Oréal says this ammonia-free permanent colorant "lifts color up to three levels, covers gray and has true-to-tone color results."
INOA comes in 49 different colors and will be available at international L'Oréal Professionnel salons by May.
