Our hair colors to gray hair

Here you will find an explanation of the different colors. A natural color is a color that does not contain a dot and numbers behind it. This will always cover gray hair better and provide better durability. A reflective color is a color that has numbers behind the dot in cold or warm shades. 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. 10 - Very Light Blonde This is the lightest natural color we have. It is a little cooler in shade than, for example, no. 9 and no. 8.
	No. 9 - Light Blonde This is a light natural color. This is perfect in combination with no. 10 if you don't want to go too dark.
	No. 8 - Blonde This is a medium blonde color, which contains a tiny amount of gold that gives the color a little warmth.
	No. 7.1 - Cold Dark Blonde A cool dark blonde color, a little more transparent and therefore will not cover gray hair 100%. Very nice in combination with other shades for a more natural result.
	No. 6 - Light Brown A natural light brown color that is perfect for depth at the base. For a cooler natural result, it is nice in combination with no. 7.1 or no. 5.1.
	No. 5.1 - Cold Brown This is a cool brown color, a little more transparent and therefore will not cover gray hair 100%. A perfect color for a natural dark result, or in combination with natural color for better coverage of gray hair.
	No. 4 - Dark Brown This is a cool dark brown natural color with good coverage. If you want very good coverage with the coolest possible shade, but a lighter alternative, combination no. 4 and no. 10 will give the coolest result.
	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.
