Imagine the delicate sheen of satin silver, a refined pearl grey that plays with light in soft, sophisticated cool shades: Gems 11 Pearl Grey is mother-of-pearl radiance for the hair.
What is Gems 11 Pearl Grey
Gems 11 Pearl Grey is a semi-permanent toning mask from the CODE ZERO Gems Collection. Its ammonia-free, ready-to-use formula deposits direct pigments on pre-lightened hair, neutralising unwanted undertones for a frosty, metallic pearl grey with luminous shine. No oxidiser is required and the colour fades gradually and evenly.
Who it is for
Ideal for anyone seeking a pure, sophisticated pearl grey free from yellow or warm undertones, whether for a bold transformation on pre-lightened hair (levels 9-10) or subtle toning on natural white or grey hair. Suitable for professional use in the salon and for confident at-home application.
Key ingredients
-
Basic Blue 99: the key cool pigment that builds depth and purity for a metallic, luminous pearl grey.
-
Blue Lotus Flower Extract (Nymphaea Coerulea): soothes and hydrates the hair.
-
Baobab Oil (Adansonia Digitata): nourishes and strengthens the hair fibre so colour lasts longer.

Results
A pure, frosty pearl grey with neutralised undertones, satin-silver shine and an even, sophisticated reflection that fades gradually without warm shifts.
How to use
- For best results, start from hair pre-lightened to levels 9-10. Wash with a gentle shampoo and towel-dry excess moisture.
- Distribute the mask evenly with a brush or hands, ensuring full coverage of each strand.
- For a soft toning effect, leave on 5-10 minutes; for a more intense, saturated effect, extend up to 15-20 minutes on clean, dry hair.
- Before rinsing, comb through gently to ensure even pigment distribution.
- Emulsify with a little lukewarm water, massaging gently, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs completely clear.
