DESCRIPTION
What is Grace Color 11.19 Ice?
Grace Color 11.19 Ice (11.19 / 11AP) by NIKA is a professional ammonia-free super lightening colour cream: an ultra light ash pearl blonde that lightens natural hair and colours it in a single step. The two digits after the point give the reflect: .1 ash and .9 pearl, for a cool, icy blonde. Unlike the colour shades, it is mixed 1:2 with Activators; one 60 ml tube is one application. Dermatologically tested.

Expert colourist tips for Grace Color 11.19 Ice
- Less lift: for a gentler lift many colourists use 10, 20 or 30 vol and adjust the time between 30 and 60 minutes to the lift wanted.
- Strand test: on a new base, test one strand first: the natural undertone of the hair decides how clean the blonde will be.
- Toning: to neutralise residual yellow, tone with Grace Color Silver or Grace Color Pearl Rose, chosen by the result wanted.
- Mixing shades: never mix warm tones (copper, gold, red) with ash shades in the same formula: they cancel each other out.
Starting out in the salon? Quick guide and common mistakes
Words used on this page. Super lightener: a colour cream that lightens more than a normal shade, mixed 1:2. Vol: the strength of the Activator (10 vol = 3%, 20 vol = 6%, 30 vol = 9%, 40 vol = 12%). Natural base: hair that has never been coloured. Toner: a shade that only adds a reflect, used to neutralise yellow.
Before starting. Allergy alert test 48 hours before. Work out the level of the natural base. Do a strand test on a new base.
