Results and expectations
A refined light brown with an iridescent violet reflect, even from roots to ends and full grey coverage at 20 vol. Panthenol and hydrolyzed wheat protein help protect the fibre during processing, leaving hair soft and shiny. As a permanent colour it grows out at the roots: plan a touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks.
