DESCRIPTION
The metallic reflection of polished graphite stone: a deep grey with cool, intense undertones, reminiscent of slate's elegance and the depth of stormy nights. That is Gems 118 Graphite.
Use and safety note
Direct pigment product: it deposits colour and does not lighten, so the final result always depends on your starting colour.
Carry out a strand test and a sensitivity test 48 hours before application. If you are unsure about your starting level, consult clichAIr or a professional before use.
What is Gems 118 Graphite
Gems 118 Graphite is a semi-permanent toning mask from the CODE ZERO Gems Collection. Its ammonia-free, ready-to-use formula deposits direct pigments for a deep, metallic graphite grey with extreme brilliance and uniform coverage, neutralising unwanted warmth on blonde or lightened hair. No oxidiser is required and the colour stays intense for multiple washes before fading gradually.
Who it is for
Ideal for blonde or pre-lightened hair at level 9-10 that needs its residual warmth neutralised, and for anyone seeking a cool, sophisticated tone without permanent dye. Formulated for professional salon use. At-home application is possible when your starting level matches the shade requirement.
Key ingredients
- HC Blue 2: the key pigment that gives the cool, metallic undertones and keeps the colour intense for multiple washes.
- Blue Lotus Flower Extract (Nymphaea Coerulea): moisturises and soothes, protecting the hair fibre.
- Baobab Oil (Adansonia Digitata): rich in vitamins and antioxidants, improves elasticity and strength.

How to use
- Wash with a gentle shampoo and towel-dry to remove excess water. Do not apply conditioner or masks before colouring, so the pigment adheres perfectly.
- On pre-lightened hair at level 9-10 with no residual yellow, apply Gems 118 Graphite all over, distributing evenly with a comb, and leave on 5 to 15 minutes depending on the desired intensity.
- On already-coloured or pre-lightened hair, use it to neutralise warm tones or add depth, leaving on 15-20 minutes for a more intense effect.
- For a softer, translucent result, mix with Gems C Clear for pastel effects or pearly reflections.
- Add a small amount of lukewarm water and gently massage to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Shampoo after treatment is not necessary.
Pairs well with
- Gems C Clear: mix in to create delicate silver reflections and softer, translucent shades.
- Stabilizer pH 3.5: apply after rinsing to close the cuticle, lock in pigment and protect from fading.
- Gems 18 Iron: a similar dark, metallic grey nuance.
- Gems 11 Pearl Grey: a lighter cool grey for a frosty silver result.
FAQ
Do I need an oxidiser? No. It is ready to use and works without ammonia or developer.
What happens if my base is still yellow? Cool ash shades are built on blue pigments, and blue deposited over residual yellow warmth reads as green. Lighten and neutralise the base to level 9-10 before toning, and run a strand test first.
Can I use it to neutralise warm tones? Yes. On lightened or coloured hair, leave on 15-20 minutes to neutralise warmth or add cool depth.
How do I get a softer, pearly effect? Mix Gems 118 Graphite with Gems C Clear for delicate silver reflections.

How long does it last and what does it cost per use?
These are concentrated professional formulas: the correct dose is almost always smaller than the one used out of habit.
Where available, the product page shows the dose per application and the number of uses per pack. From there you get the real cost per wash or per service, which matters more than the price of the bottle.
If the figure is missing or your case is unusual, ask clichAIr.
