DESCRIPTION
What is Gems 22 Intense Violet?
Gems 22 Intense Violet is a semi-permanent colour mask by Code Zero, from The Gems Collection, that deposits a deep, intense violet. It is ready to use, without ammonia and without developer: apply, leave on for 5 to 15 minutes and rinse.
On very light, lightened hair the violet reads full and saturated; on natural light blonde hair it leaves a violet reflection. It is used on its own, diluted with Gems C Clear for a lighter violet, as a pre-pigmentation before colour, and it is part of four official formulas of the collection, three Purple and one Copper.

The starting base decides the colour
Gems 22 Intense Violet does not lighten: it adds its pigment to the colour it finds on the hair. A clean violet shows fully only on the lightest base, because violet and yellow neutralise each other and the warmth left in the hair turns the violet dull and brownish. Assessing the hair before application is the step that decides the final colour.
How to assess the base
- Level: how light the hair is, on a scale from 1 (black) to 10 (lightest blonde). The violet of the colour chart is achieved on the lightest base.
- Underlying tone: after lightening a yellow or orange undertone often remains. A yellow undertone dulls the violet; an orange undertone turns it towards a brownish plum.
- Evenness: roots, lengths and ends can have different levels, and each area shows a different violet.
- Porosity: lightened or treated hair takes the pigment faster than natural hair.
What to expect and how to act
| Starting base | With 22 Intense Violet | How to act |
|---|---|---|
| Lightest lightened, pale yellow | Full, saturated violet | Apply to clean, dry hair, leave on 15-20 minutes |
| Lightened with residual yellow | Duller, less brilliant violet | Reduce the yellow first for a cleaner violet |
| Lightened with orange undertone | Brownish plum rather than violet | A higher lift in the salon comes first |
| Natural light blonde | Violet reflection | For a saturated violet, lightening in the salon comes first |
| Brown or dark | Barely visible violet glint | For the violet, lightening in the salon is needed |
| Already coloured or porous | Pigment that deposits faster | Start from the minimum processing time and check visually |
How to achieve the violet of the colour chart
- Assess the base: level and underlying tone, as described above.
- Lighten to the lightest base with a pale yellow undertone, if the hair is darker: a bleaching service in the salon.
- Reduce the residual yellow for a cleaner violet, for example with No Glow Yellow Shampoo and No Glow Yellow Mask.
- Apply Gems 22 Intense Violet to clean, dry hair, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
- Finish with Stabilizer pH 3.5 as the last step.
- Revive the reflection when it fades: on washed, towel-dried hair, 5 to 15 minutes according to the desired intensity.
On hair that is already very light or bleached the path starts from step 3; on darker hair the lightening is done in the salon. A test on a hidden strand shows the result on the real base in advance.
How to use Gems 22 Intense Violet

FAQ
