Permanent color gray hair m

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.

Gray hair - long regrowth:

Virgin hair needs a much longer working time than hair that has already been colored. Color on top of already colored hair will always be darker than where the hair is virgin. If the color is to be extracted in already colored hair, this should be done towards the very end of the working time or simply foamed up during rinsing. For better coverage, the working time can be extended to 45 minutes. Start application where you have the most gray hair.

Permanent hair color by Bente:
We always recommend applying SKIN oil around the hairline before the treatment to prevent the color from sticking to the skin. Put on gloves and a plastic cape. Then, find a clean, dry mixing bowl and color brush. If possible, have a friend help you with the application to make the process easier.

Mixing ratio:
Medium: H2O2 (90ml) + 3x Mix for long aftergrowth.

Application:
A permanent hair color is applied dry throughout the entire regrowth from the start. Lengths and ends are drier and can absorb a lot of color. You should either reduce the exposure time on the lengths or you can lather up the color for a nice refresh.

Working time 30 minutes from the time everything is applied. Always rinse well after a color treatment. Wash your hair twice and finish with a good conditioner or hair treatment.

Do you want to refresh the color in your lengths?
Pour about 2-4 dl of water over the hair where the color is and lather the color up into the lengths like a shampoo. Leave it on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing everything out. We recommend adding a few drops of SKIN oil to the mixture for the lengths for even more shine and nourishment.

If you want to freshen up already treated lengths, you should order a lighter shade for them as they absorb more color and can become darker.
