Why Dikson? 60 years of Italian professional hair colour and care

Why South African hairdressers choose Dikson Professional: the Italian heritage, the colour, bleaching, technical and care systems, and the training, branches and support you get when you buy Dikson from Lime Light.

What is Dikson Professional?

Dikson Professional is an Italian professional hair brand founded in Milan in 1965. Over six decades it has become known for craftsmanship, research and continuous innovation, offering hairdressers effective and creative solutions in hair colour and treatments.

Dikson is made by Müster & Dikson, whose head office and factories are in Cerro Maggiore, near Milan. Every line is developed with scientific rigour and made with artisanal care in its Italian factories.

Why do hairdressers choose Dikson?

1. Sixty years of Italian expertise

Since 1965, Müster & Dikson has created professional solutions for hairdressers around the world. That experience shows in formulas that behave the same way, service after service.

2. Made in Italy, from formula to finished product

Dikson is formulated and made in the company's own Italian factories, with more than 7 000 m² of production facilities covering hair colour, bleaching powders, hair care and vials. The site also has more than 3 000 m² for exhibitions, events, training and courses.

3. Three promises: performance, reliability, ease of use

Dikson describes its professional systems as guaranteeing high professional performance, result security and ease of use: exactly what a busy salon needs.

4. Professional quality at an accessible price

Dikson calls its systems affordable, bold and rebellious: professional quality made accessible, so you can offer premium colour and treatments while protecting your margin.

5. One brand, every service

From the first consultation to the final spray, Dikson covers every step of a salon service.

6. A more sustainable manufacturer

Müster & Dikson covers about 35% of its energy needs from renewable sources, with a photovoltaic system of more than 500 kW, and aims to be a pioneer of conscious beauty.

What is Dikson Color Extra?

Dikson Color Extra is Dikson's permanent hair colour. Dikson describes its colour as affordable, bold and rebellious: quality made accessible, confident nuances and room for creativity. Lime Light stocks more than 100 Color Extra shades in 120ml tubes, from naturals for grey coverage to fashion tones, toners and correctors.

Toners and correctors

Color Toners (Pearl, Silver and Ash) neutralise and refine pre-lightened hair, while Color Correctors (Blue, Violet, Green and Red) intensify or cancel tones in a formula. Extra shades such as 6.00 give deeper, more intense natural coverage.

Which peroxide goes with Dikson Color Extra?

Mix Dikson Color Extra with Dikson OXY Cream Peroxide, available in 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 volume. Always follow the mixing ratio on the pack. See our guide Peroxide strengths explained for which volume to use.

What is DECO.DE, the Dikson bleaching system?

Dikson's DECO.DE bleaching system makes safe, efficient lightening accessible. Dikson describes it as affordable, bold and rebellious: "blond is not just a colour, it's an attitude". Lime Light stocks two DECO.DE powders:
