What on earth is in this ?

Hi everyone,
just wondering if anyone can shed any light on the new Charles worthington lightening spray ?
One of my clients had used this spray 3 times before I did her colour, it was quite damaged off it and she had awful root glow. I normally do a full head of foils powder and 4 % and tone it to a nice clean blonde.
Today, against my previous advice she had used it again a few times, he condition felt better and I did her colour, but today I was toning it down to a softer blonde as she was going on holiday, I used 7/3 30mls with 5ml of 8/73 with 1.9% in wella. It went purple within seconds !!! It only seemed to be around the areas where she would of sprayed it and the roots I lifted with powder and 4% and 12/11 9% were fine, I didn't overlap and her her hair was in good condition ????
I used the same toner yesterday on someone with a full head bleached head which was very porus and it was beautiful.
Could it be this spray reacting ??? I've heard it had caused foils to heat up a lot and damage hair because of reacting with products !
Thank you :sad:

it contains mineral salts. These react oddly with any oxidising colour. Before doing any colour, you must test for compatability first.
Had bleach get so hot it steamed with a similar product once, so be careful.

Thanks for your reply, I had heard that off an other stylist !!!
There's so much to look out for with all these products clients can now buy.

Do you mean john freida? Because I had a client use this (sent her roots orange) and before colouring her hair I rang john frieda help line and asked them if it contained metalic salts and they said it didn't, I did an incombatibility test and the result was fine so I hilighted her hair as normal and thankfully the colour came out ok!x

Hmmm it might of been, I get confused between the 2
I had no problems with the colour I painted on her roots, in the foils, it was only when I applied the toner ???
Another stylist in my salon had the foils heat up, like said before, I'm sooo confused lol. In future I'll just be extra careful and do a test before.
My client has now informed me she's thrown it away lol xx
