Imagine a shade that captures the understated, deep elegance of polished volcanic stone: Code Zero Vibrant Color 5.11 offers an Intense Ash Light Brown that extinguishes any superfluous warmth to reveal absolute chromatic purity. Looking at the color chart, this nuance stands out for its decisive, matte character, devoid of any red or orange vibrations, evoking the sophistication of dark wood under moonlight. It is the ideal color for those seeking an extremely natural yet sophisticated result, guaranteeing total grey hair coverage and a depth that does not go unnoticed. For the professional, this tube is not just a dye, but an essential corrective tool to neutralize warm lightening undercoats, ensuring a cool, long-lasting brilliance that respects the hair structure.

Why choose this product: If your clients often complain about annoying orange or reddish reflections emerging shortly after coloring, the 5.11 is the definitive solution. This advanced formula doesn't just color; it treats the hair thanks to Vegetal Liposomes that deliver active ingredients deep down and Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter), which nourishes and maintains fiber elasticity. From a technical standpoint, the magic of the cool color is entrusted to a precise calibration of pigments like 2-Amino-4-Hydroxyethylaminoanisole Sulfate, a key component that, interacting with the base, builds that deep and persistent ash reflection so highly sought after. Choosing Code Zero means offering a service that guarantees intense pigments, structural protection thanks to Alpha Keratin, and the safety of a resorcinol-free formula, designed to minimize sensitization risks.

How to obtain the chosen color step by step: To achieve the perfect result with 5.11, precision is everything. Prepare the mixture in a non-metallic bowl, strictly respecting the 1:1 ratio (e.g., 50 ml of color cream + 50 ml of oxidant). If you are working on a virgin base (never colored), start by applying the product to lengths and ends starting 2 cm from the scalp and leave on for 10-15 minutes; subsequently, apply to the roots and let process for another 20-25 minutes. If, instead, you are performing a root touch-up on already colored hair, apply the mixture generously to the roots for 20 minutes, then distribute the product to the lengths for the last 10 minutes to even out the reflection. Remember that respecting the timing is crucial to allow the ash pigments to fully develop.

Emulsion and rinsing: At the end of the processing time, before proceeding with running water, add a few drops of warm water to the hair and massage gently: this emulsion facilitates the detachment of color from the scalp and evens out the shine along the entire length. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, ensuring every residue of cream is removed, then proceed with the specific shampoo.

Tips: The 5.11 is a precision instrument in the hands of the colorist. Use 10 Volume oxidant if you only need to tone or darken bleached hair while maintaining maximum ash deposit. Choose 20 Volumes to ensure perfect grey hair coverage and anchor the reflection deeply. If you want an even more "matte" and cool effect on a resistant base, ensure you saturate the hair well during application. To keep this cool shade intact over time, as it naturally tends to warm up with washing, strictly advise the client to use the Inej Color Protect range at home, indispensable for sealing cuticles and protecting pigments from oxidation.
