Immerse yourself in an intense, sophisticated violet, reminiscent of the finest amethyst, with deep undertones shifting between pure violet and dark plum: Gems 22 Intense Violet.
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 22 Intense Violet
Gems 22 Intense Violet is a semi-permanent toning mask from the CODE ZERO Gems Collection. Its ammonia-free, ready-to-use formula deposits rich direct pigments for a deep, brilliant violet with extraordinary shine, nourishing and protecting the hair as it colours. No oxidiser is required and the colour stays vibrant for multiple washes before fading gradually.
Who it is for
Ideal for anyone who wants to express their personality with a deep, brilliant violet, from a temporary creative look to a professionally customised shade. The vivid amethyst result is achieved on pre-lightened hair; on natural or dark hair the product deposits a violet reflection only, because it does not lift the base. Formulated for professional salon use. At-home application is possible when your starting base matches the result you expect.

Results
A rich, enveloping violet with amethyst depth and dark plum undertones, amplified shine and a protected hair structure that holds colour vibrant for multiple washes. The intensity always depends on the starting base.
How to use
- Wash with a gentle shampoo and towel-dry to remove excess water. Do not apply conditioner or masks beforehand, so the pigment adheres perfectly.
- On natural hair, apply the mask directly to lengths and ends and massage gently to distribute the colour evenly. Leave on 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the desired intensity.
- On pre-lightened hair, apply to dry hair and leave on 15-20 minutes for deeper, more vivid pigmentation.
- Add a little water and gently massage into lengths and ends to activate the gloss effect and ensure even distribution.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. No shampoo after rinsing is needed, to maintain maximum shine and longevity.

FAQ
Do I need an oxidiser? No. It is ready to use and works without ammonia or developer.
Will it show on dark hair? Only as a violet reflection visible in the light. Direct pigments deposit colour without lightening, so a vivid amethyst requires a pre-lightened base.
How do I get the most vivid result? Apply to pre-lightened, dry hair and leave on 15-20 minutes. On a base that still shows strong yellow warmth the violet reads duller and browner, so neutralise the base first and run a strand test.
How do I create a pastel violet? Mix Gems 22 Intense Violet with Gems C Clear for customised, softer tones.
