Choose Gems 118 Graphite if you want a deep, sophisticated color with cool, metallic reflections that elevate your style with elegance.
How to achieve the chosen color step by step: To prepare the hair for application, wash it with a gentle shampoo and towel dry to remove excess water. Do not apply conditioner or masks before coloring, so the pigment can adhere perfectly to the hair fiber. If the hair is natural, apply Gems 118 Graphite directly all over the hair, distributing it evenly with a comb. Leave it on for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. If the hair is already colored or pre-lightened, use Gems 118 Graphite to neutralize warm tones or add depth to the existing shade. In this case, leave it on for 15-20 minutes for a more intense effect. For an even more personalized result, mix Gems 118 Graphite with Gems C Clear to achieve softer, translucent shades, perfect for pastel effects or pearly reflections.
Emulsification and rinsing: Once the processing time is over, add a small amount of lukewarm water and gently massage the hair to emulsify the product. This step helps distribute the color evenly and enhances shine. Proceed with thorough rinsing until the water runs clear. Shampooing is not necessary after treatment to maintain maximum color intensity.
Tips: To extend the longevity of Gems 118 Graphite, use Stabilizer pH 3.5 after rinsing. This spray closes the cuticles, locks in the pigment, and protects the color from fading. If you want a softer, more translucent effect, mix it with Gems C Clear to create delicate silver reflections. Avoid frequent washing with harsh shampoos and opt for sulfate-free products to keep the color vibrant for longer.
