Color Selection
darkest
lightest
The "Intense" & "Illusion*" colours are no different to the other colours [*I-9.31: I = Illusion, 1st no: 9 = darkness/lightness (so same pitch as 9N) & ask us about 2nd/3rd nos.]
Selecting Correct Color
Darker
Can go as dark as you like. If in doubt choosing between 2 colors, opt for the lighter color.
Lighter
Can only lighten 1 or 2 numbers (on color chart) in one application, e.g. if person’s hair color is a 6N, then you should not use a colorant lighter than an 8N , 8C or 8G.
If you have very grey or white hair, it is best to avoid 10N & 10A (unless mixed with other colors) as they are too light to produce a significant color change.
Covering Grey – you may need to apply for up to 40 minutes (for areas that are very resistant to color – massage the area for full 40 minutes)
Select color from colour guide to your own color (will usually be from the Natural colors). If in doubt, select lighter color. However, you can try an even lighter colour – as a lighter shade is much more flattering against ageing skin & grey hair re-growth is less obvious against a lighter overall hair color.
Ash Colors – not to be used on their own unless you want to tone down hair color i.e. if too yellow, orange, brassy, golden, reddish. Otherwise only to be used as “mixer” colors.
Using Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant
In each box of hair dye there is a small bottle that contains the actual hair colorant and a larger bottle that contains the color developer. You must always mix them in equal amounts.
You need not use the whole box each time you use Naturtint hair color e.g.
if you are just touching up your roots or patches of grey
if you have short hair
if you are mixing different colors
In a separate plastic/glass bowl, just mix up the amount of colorant and color developer that you require, leaving the remaining colorant and color developer separately in their own individual bottles with their tops on and they will both keep for several months.
Mixing Colors
Do Strand Test - using droplets of the colorants and their respective color developers, prepare a mixture of the different colors and place hair strands in it. You must use color developer from each of the boxes of color being mixed and not just the developer from one box, as they differ in content. Once the correct proportions have been established (usually 50:50), prepare enough to cover the hair in question.
Most common mixtures:
When using Natural colors, if you tend to go too red, golden, brassy, yellow then mix in equal amounts of an Ash color. With 6N, 7N, 8N – use 8A OR with 9N or 10N – use 10A.
Only mix Ash colors with Natural & Golden colors.
For a more beige look (popular with older customers)– use 2/3 10A & 1/3 of 9N.
To tone down Mahogany colors – 4M, 5M or 7M - mix with similar number of a Natural color.
To mellow Coppers – 7C or 8C – mix with similar number of a Natural color.
