Toning after stripes s

Here you will find an explanation of the structure of the different hair colors. A natural color is a color that does not contain a dot and numbers behind it. This will always cover a certain area better and provide better durability. A reflex color is a color that has numbers behind the dot in cold or warm shades. The hair closest to the scalp always attracts more warm pigments, while the lengths and ends always attract more cold pigments. The lengths and ends always attract more color and therefore we recommend a lighter shade in the lengths for an even result from root to tip.

	No. 0.0 - Clear This is a shade without any pigments. By mixing this into another color, the color will be slightly weaker and milder. Using this alone will not give any effect.
	No. 10.02 - Cold Very Light Blonde This is the lightest shade that contains a small amount of purple to neutralize yellow.
	No. 10.1 - Ice Light Blonde This is the lightest silver shade that contains blue to neutralize orange, or if you want more silver color. If your hair contains a little yellow, you should always use this in combination with purple.
	No. 10 - Very Light Blonde This is the lightest natural color we have, which is also a bit cool in tone. Great for toning down very light hair, or in combination with a highlight color to achieve a more natural result. Great for covering gray hair.
	No. 9.3 - Golden Blonde This is a light color with a hint of yellow that gives a natural golden glow. Very nice on light hair for a natural golden result without being perceived as yellow.
	No. 9.12 - Cold Blonde This light natural color is cool and contains a small amount of purple and blue. This is perfect for neutralizing yellow and at the same time giving a cool result due to the blue. This color contains a larger proportion of natural color no. 9 than, for example, 9.21.
	No. 9.21 - Very Cold Blonde This is a very cool color that contains little No. 9 and a large proportion of cool pigments. Perfect for powerful neutralization of golden. It neutralizes both yellow and orange.
	No. 9 - Light Blonde This is a natural color that will not be cold in shade. This is built up to cover gray hair or in combination with a reflective color for more depth in the hair.
	No. 8.43 - Light Copper Blonde A natural copper color, perfect for natural redheads. High yellow content provides brightness, while orange dominates for a rich copper tone. The balance creates a light but distinct copper color.
	No. 8 - Blonde This is a medium blonde color, which contains a small amount of gold that gives the color a slight warm glow.
	No. 7.34 - Deep Copper Blonde This is a slightly dark copper color. Copper is the same as orange which is made up of red and yellow. This is perfect in lengths on dark hair for more glow or in combination with no. 9.3 for lighter hair as lighter hair needs more yellow.
	No. 7.1 - Cold Dark Blonde The base of a pitch 7 is orange, so this color is perfect for giving a natural result on a pitch 7. The blue in the color will then neutralize the orange that is naturally there.
	No. 6 - Light Brown A natural light brown color that is perfect for some depth at the base and good coverage of gray hair. This is not a cool shade, but neutral.
	No. 5.8 - Chocolate brown A slightly rounder brown color that contains warm pigments for more glow. Very nice in combination with no. 8.43 or 9.3 for lengths and ends for an even result.
	No. 5.82 - Cold Chocolate Brown This color contains both warm and cool pigments. Perfect for those who want a little more color on dark hair. Should be combined with a lighter shade for lengths and ends so that the color does not become too dark.
	No. 5.1 - Cold Brown This is a cool brown color. A perfect men's color for a natural dark result, or in combination with natural colors or other cool colors.
	No. 4 - Dark Brown This is a dark brown natural color in a slightly cool shade with good coverage. Should be combined with a lighter color if it is to be extended in lengths.
	No. 3.11 - Ice Dark Brown This color is an icy cold very dark brown color. This contains lots of blue pigments. This is perfect for making a lighter color even colder. 3-4cm with this on for example 7.1 and it will neutralize better on orange hair.
	No. 1/2 - Black This is a black natural color. A cold black color with good coverage. On Scandinavian hair it will be completely black, on thicker hair it will be more brownish black. Hence the name 1/2.

There is a big difference between coloring uncolored hair and hair that has already been treated.

Uncolored hair needs more pigment, i.e. a darker color and a longer exposure time than already treated hair. The main reason for this is that treated hair is already open so the pigments are absorbed into the hair faster. While uncolored hair needs time to open. Already colored/lightened hair will therefore always be darker than uncolored hair if you use the same hair color and the same exposure time on the entire hair.

Toning:

Applied always in slightly damp hair after lightening streaks. Start application at the very base of the scalp as this always needs a longer working time than lengths and ends to achieve an even result. For dry lengths and ends, it is often enough to simply lather up the tint while rinsing for a refresh. A tint in the lengths will ALWAYS make the hair darker.

When using our natural colors, the stripes will be subdued as they contain more pigments.

Stripes and toning:

Preparation:
Your hair does not need to be freshly washed before stripping, but it is important that you do not have dry shampoo or color spray in your hair.

Striping procedure

Mixing ratio and application:
1 bag Blond + 1 bottle H2o2 = mix together. Always mix only one mixture at a time. Apply to dry hair and always start with the darkest hair. The hair around the face is thinner and finer, so it will lighten faster.

Operating time: Full exposure time is 60min, after 60min the lightening decreases significantly. It is important that you check the lightness of the strips before rinsing. It is important to leave in long enough and not rinse too soon. Our bleaching is gentle and we always recommend a lower strength of bleaching and full exposure time.

Flushing:
Rinse thoroughly, shampoo once, and apply conditioner or hair treatment to lengths and ends. Towel dry hair before toning.

If you are going to strip your entire hair, the 2-3 cm from the scalp will always lighten more due to the heat from the scalp. If the hair is equally dark all over and the hair quality is good, you can choose an equal H202 from root to tip. If you have lighter lengths, choose a weaker strength for them rather than the regrowth. It is always important to have good hair quality when you are going to strip your entire hair.

Mixture Toning small:
1 bottle N:2 h2o2 0.9% 90ml with 2 tubes N:3 Mix.

Mixing Toning medium:
1 bottle of N:2 h2o2 0.9% 90ml with 3 tubes of N:3 Mix + 30 ml of cold water.

Toning Procedure:

Application: Start applying the tint to slightly damp hair. It is important that the hair is damp, otherwise your hair between the streaks will get a lightening effect. Start at the back and work your way towards the face, and always end with the thin, fine hairs towards the face. Very important that the toning only Apply to the inside of newly streaked regrowth from the start. Lengths and ends absorb color quickly and can thus become darker. Lengths and ends can be foamed up just for a nice refresh.

Operating time: 30min at the bottom. A tint will always make the hair a little darker as it does not contain any form of lightening. You can comb a little right at the transition or pull the tint a little further out towards the end of the exposure time. Lengths and ends will always absorb color much faster than the hair towards the scalp. Always think that the hair that is the most golden needs the most neutralization.

Refresh the color at the ends:
Rinse hair with about 2-4 dl of water, then lather the toner like a shampoo. You can leave it on for 1-5 minutes before rinsing out.

Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo twice and finish with a good conditioner or hair treatment.
