Shoppers often choose this professional permanent hair color because it offers lots of ways to personalize your look.

• Wide shade range: You’ll find naturals, nude tones, chocolate, copper, highlifts, fashion accents, silver, and more.
• Pairing products: Matching developers are available in 6% (20 vol) and 9% (30 vol) to suit different goals.
• Customization: Tone concentrates and a diluter provide added flexibility for experienced users.
• Cream texture: Many customers prefer cream formulas for controlled, even application.

Results vary based on hair history and technique, so a strand test can help preview how your shade may develop. For the best experience, follow the instructions on the specific product page.

Home coloring can be approachable when you take it step by step.

1. Read the directions: Check the product page and packaging for exact mixing and timing.
2. Prep your space: Gather gloves, a non-metal bowl, a tint brush, clips, and a cape or towel.
3. Test first: Do a patch test and a small strand test in advance.
4. Choose the developer: Select the developer strength that matches your color product (you’ll see 6%/20 vol and 9%/30 vol options).
5. Mix and apply: Mix as directed, apply to dry hair, and saturate evenly.
6. Process and rinse: Time according to the instructions, then rinse thoroughly and condition.

Results can vary; following the included directions typically yields the most consistent outcomes.

Processing time depends on the specific shade family, developer strength, and your hair’s condition.

• Check the packaging: Each color and sub-line (like naturals, highlifts, fashion accents, or silver shades) can have different timing guidelines.
• Do a strand test: A small test helps you gauge development before a full application.
• Start timing after saturation: Begin timing once the hair is evenly coated.
• Monitor your hair: Gently check development during processing and don’t exceed the recommended time.

If you experience irritation, rinse immediately. Because hair history and texture vary, using the timing suggested on the specific product’s instructions is the best reference.

Safety starts with careful preparation and following directions.

• Patch and strand tests: Test for potential sensitivities and preview the result ahead of time.
• Protect yourself: Wear gloves, work in a ventilated area, and avoid eye contact. Don’t use hair color on brows or lashes.
• Follow instructions: Mix, apply, and process exactly as directed on the product page and packaging.
• Mind the skin: Use a barrier cream around the hairline and wipe spills promptly.
• Aftercare: Rinse thoroughly and use color-care products as recommended.

If you have known allergies or unique concerns, consider consulting a licensed stylist for personalized guidance.

You’ll see codes like 8-0 Light Blonde, 7-77 Medium Blonde Copper Extra, or 5-7 Light Brown Copper alongside descriptive names.

• Depth (level): The first number often reflects how light or dark the shade is.
• Tone indicators: Numbers or letters after the dash typically reference tones (for example, gold, ash, copper, beige, chocolate, violet-red).
• Descriptors: Terms like “Extra,” “Highlifts,” “Fashion,” “Silver,” or “Absolutes” help identify intensity or intended effect.

Use the written shade name and product imagery to guide your choice, and consider a strand test to see how the tone looks on your hair. Always refer to the specific product’s description for the most accurate guidance.
