What is Vibrant Color 7.86?

Vibrant Color 7.86 Red Beige Blond by Code Zero is a professional permanent colour cream with vegetal liposomes: a blond with a beige and red reflect, level 7. In the code .86, 8 is beige, the main reflect, and 6 is red, the secondary: the red warms the beige into a soft, reddish beige blond, which on the Color Index sits in the orange sector, opposite blue. On the colour chart it belongs to the solars; on the box it is called Sunny Oak. With Oxidizer 20 vol it covers white hair; on natural hair it lifts up to 2 tones. At the same level 7.67 Tobacco Red Blond is the tobacco red, redder and more matte, and 7.38 Golden Beige Blond the golden beige, softer and without red. It mixes with Oxidizer at a 1:1 ratio and one 100 ml tube is enough for two services.

New to Vibrant Color? How to read the shade code

Vibrant Color is Code Zero's permanent colour cream, with ammonia and vegetal liposomes: more than 100 shades in 100 ml tubes, arranged in families on the colour chart (naturals, ash, golden, copper, red, tobacco, beige and more). Every shade is mixed 1:1 with Oxidizer, except the 90 superbleaching shades (1:1.5). The digit before the point is the level, from 1 (black) to 10 (ultra light blond); the digits after the point are the reflect.

Reflect	Meaning
.0	natural
.1	ash
.2	violet (irisé)
.3	golden
.4	copper
.5	mahogany
.6	red
.7	tobacco
.8	beige
.9	blue

The first digit after the point is the main reflect, the second a secondary reflect: 7.86 = beige with red, 7.23 = violet with golden. A doubled digit means an intense reflect (.11 = intense ash). The + sign marks the intense naturals, with more pigment (4.+). The 90 shades are the superbleaching shades, lifting up to 4-5 tones; 01 and 09 are toners; 0.22 to 0.66 are the Pure Pigments, added to the mix.

The starting base decides the colour

Vibrant Color 7.86 deposits a beige and red pigment and on natural hair lifts up to 2 tones: on the Code Zero table its lifting power is 2. The result is the shade plus what the hair already contains: first look at the base, that is the level, the percentage of white hair and whether the hair is natural, coloured or bleached, then choose the Oxidizer. The Code Zero colour chart shows on which bases 7.86 gives the best result. On the Code Zero colour wheel (Color Index) 7.86, like the coppers and copper goldens, sits in the orange sector, opposite blue: it gives a blond a soft, reddish warmth and corrects a blue or grey cast; it does not cool or neutralise orange, it adds warmth.

Starting base	Oxidizer	Result
Level 7 (very good)	20 vol; 10 vol without white hair	Tone on tone, red beige blond, covers white hair
Level 6 (good)	20 vol	Lifts by 1 tone and covers the white hair at level 7
Level 7 with more than 50% white hair	20 vol	Covers; a red-beige reflect alone on a lot of white hair can look too warm or uneven: mix it with 7.0 (see the tips)
Level 5 (fair)	30 vol	Lifts up to 2 tones, the maximum for 7.86: the result stays slightly darker and warmer than the chart strand
Level 8 (good)	10 vol; 20 vol with white hair	Darkens by 1 tone
Level 9 (fair)	10 vol; 20 vol with white hair	Darkens by 2 tones: the result can come out less deep than the chart strand
Level 4 or darker	Outside the range of 7.86: lighten first with Level Out Powder	Then 7.86 with 10 vol
Level 10 or lighter, bleached hair included	Outside the range of 7.86: pre-pigment first with 8.43 Light Copper Golden Blond	Then 7.86 with 10 vol

Mixing ratio 1:1. The processing time does not change with the volume: first application 30-40 minutes in total, touch-up 30 minutes. A colour does not lift an artificial colour: on coloured hair it only deposits. Ratings from the Code Zero colour chart: very good = the result matches the chart strand; good = full result with a slight difference; fair = acceptable but less faithful result: if possible, choose a shade closer to the base. 40 vol is not used with 7.86: to lift more than 2 tones, choose a lighter shade or lighten first.

Vibrant Color 7.86 mixes and amounts

The ratio is always 1:1: for each part of cream, one part of Oxidizer.

Cream	Oxidizer	When
25 ml	25 ml	regrowth only on short hair
50 ml	50 ml	an average service: regrowth and lengths down to the shoulders
75 ml	75 ml	long or thick hair
100 ml (whole tube)	100 ml	very long hair, or two average services

Worked cases follow, from the first application to darkening a lighter base and to the light base that needs pre-pigmenting.

Vibrant Color 7.86 on natural level 7 hair with white hair: first application

Starting point: natural level 7, never coloured, with up to half white hair.

Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 7.86 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1).

Processing time: on the lengths and ends, starting 2 cm from the root, for 10-15 minutes; then on the roots for a further 20-25 minutes.

Result: tone on tone at level 7, a red beige blond, white hair covered.

Vibrant Color 7.86 on the regrowth: touch-up

Starting point: natural regrowth with white hair, lengths already coloured with 7.86.

Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 7.86 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1).

Processing time: 20 minutes on the regrowth, then comb through all the hair for a further 10 minutes.

Result: even roots and lengths.

Vibrant Color 7.86 on lengths with a grey or ashy cast: warming the blond

Starting point: level 7 regrowth, lengths that have turned dull, greyish or bluish, for example after repeated ash colours.

Formula: regrowth: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 7.86 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1); lengths: 25 ml of 7.86 + 25 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol in a second bowl.

Processing time: 20 minutes on the regrowth, then the 10 vol mix on the lengths for a further 10 minutes.

Result: even level 7, with a soft, warm red-beige blond on the lengths in place of the grey cast. Do a strand test first.

Vibrant Color 7.86 on a level 8-9 base: darkening

Starting point: natural level 8 or 9, one or two tones lighter than the shade.

Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 7.86 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol (1:1); 20 vol if there is white hair.

Processing time: as for the first application, 30-40 minutes in total.

Result: level 7. On level 9, which the chart rates fair, the result can come out slightly less deep than the chart strand.

Vibrant Color 7.86 on level 10 or lighter, or on bleached hair: pre-pigment first, then colour

Why: a very light base lacks the depth that a blond needs: applied directly, 7.86 can come out too red, uneven or pinkish.

Step 1, pre-pigmentation: 25 ml of 8.43 Light Copper Golden Blond + 25 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol (1:1) on the light parts, for 10-15 minutes; then remove the excess with a towel.

Step 2, colour: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 7.86 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol (1:1), the volume the Code Zero leaflet gives for colouring bleached hair, for 30-40 minutes.

Note: first a strand test to see the result.

How to use Vibrant Color 7.86

Wear gloves. Mix in a non-metal bowl with a plastic brush, both clean.
Mix 50 ml of Vibrant Color 7.86 with 50 ml of Oxidizer (1:1) just before use, choosing the volume from the table above, and use the mix straight away. Apply to dry, unwashed hair.
First application (never coloured hair): apply to the lengths and ends starting 2 cm from the root; after 10-15 minutes apply to the roots and leave on for a further 20-25 minutes.
Touch-up: apply to the regrowth and leave on for 20 minutes, then comb through all the hair for a further 10 minutes.
Emulsify with a little warm water, massaging for 3-4 minutes, rinse thoroughly and finish with Color Fixx pH 5.5 shampoo.

Expert colourist tips for Vibrant Color 7.86

Resistant white hair: start the application where the white hair is most glassy (temples, hairline, parting), with 20 vol and the full processing time. On very resistant virgin hair, 30 vol helps the colour take, as the Code Zero leaflet indicates for resistant hair.
A lot of white hair: a red-beige reflect alone on a lot of white hair can look too warm or uneven. Between 50% and 70% white hair use two parts 7.86 and one part 7.0; above 70%, half 7.86 and half 7.0. Always with 20 vol: the natural gives depth and evens out the reflect.
Warmer or more neutral: for a redder, more intense reflect, 7.67 Tobacco Red Blond; for a more neutral blond, half 7.86 and half 7.0. Do not mix 7.86 with an ash or blue shade in the same bowl: orange and blue sit opposite each other on the Color Index, the reflects cancel each other out and the result turns dull.
A grey or bluish cast: 7.86 sits opposite blue on the Color Index. On a blond whose lengths have turned greyish or bluish, a short application of 7.86 with 10 vol on the lengths, checking by sight and rinsing as soon as the cast has gone, brings back a warmer blond. Do a strand test first.
Bases that turn orange: 7.86 is a warm reflect: on a base that turns orange when lifted it adds warmth. For a cool blond use the ash 7.1 Ash Blond.
Lengths at the touch-up: the colour builds up on the lengths with every service and the ends turn darker. For the last 10 minutes on the lengths prepare a second bowl with Oxidizer 10 vol, or 5 vol (10 vol and 0 vol in equal parts) if the ends are very porous.
Going lighter later: a blond is hard to lift afterwards: a colour does not lift a colour, so going back to a lighter shade needs lightening, often in more than one step. Tell the client before the first service.
Lighter or deeper than 7.86: 7.86 is the only red beige of the range: one level lighter, the solars continue with 8.74 Copper Tobacco Light Blond, copper with tobacco; for a deeper warm blond in the same orange sector, 6.57 Tobacco Mahogany Dark Blond.

New to the salon: quick guide and common mistakes

The words on this page. Level: how light or dark the hair is, from 1 (black) to 10 (platinum blond). Reflect: the tone of the colour; .86 means beige with red, a soft, warm reddish reflect. Vol: the strength of the Oxidizer (10 vol = 3%, 20 vol = 6%, 30 vol = 9%, 40 vol = 12%). Regrowth: the new hair at the root. Deposit: colour added without lifting. Tone on tone: same level as the base. Pre-pigmentation: a warm base laid down before the colour on hair that is too light.

Before you start. Determine the level of the base. Assess the percentage of white hair and how warm the base is. Do a strand test on a new base.

Common mistakes. Expecting 7.86 to cool or neutralise orange: it adds warmth. Expecting 7.86 to lift more than 2 tones. Applying 7.86 on level 10 or bleached hair without pre-pigmentation. Using 7.86 alone on a lot of white hair. Mixing 7.86 with an ash or blue shade in the same bowl. Using a metal bowl. Using Oxidizer 0 vol on its own: it does not develop the colour.

FAQ

Which Oxidizer volume does Vibrant Color 7.86 need?

According to the Code Zero leaflet: 10 vol to darken or colour without lifting, also on bleached hair; 20 vol for tone on tone and to cover white hair; 30 vol to lift more, for resistant hair and for first applications; 40 vol for ultra-lightening. With 7.86, in practice 20 vol with white hair, 10 vol without white hair and to darken a level 8-9 base, 30 vol from a level 5 base.

What does .86 mean?

On the Code Zero colour chart the first digit after the point is the main reflect: in 7.86 it is .8, beige; the second, 6, is red, the secondary reflect. The red warms the beige: on the Color Index 7.86 sits in the orange sector, opposite blue.

What is the difference between 7.86 and 7.0?

Both are level 7, with the same bases on the Code Zero colour chart and a lifting power of 2. 7.0 is a neutral-cool natural blond; 7.86 adds a beige reflect warmed by red, soft and reddish, which corrects a grey or blue cast.

Does 7.86 cool a warm blond?

No: it adds a soft, reddish warmth and corrects a grey or blue cast. For a cool blond the range has the ash 7.1.

How much Vibrant Color 7.86 does one service need?

50 ml of cream with 50 ml of Oxidizer. One 100 ml tube covers two services of this amount.

Does Vibrant Color 7.86 cover white hair?

Yes, with Oxidizer 20 vol, as the Code Zero leaflet indicates.

Is 7.86 right on a lot of white hair?

It covers with 20 vol, but a red-beige reflect alone on a lot of white hair can look too warm or uneven: from 50% white hair mix it with 7.0 (two parts 7.86 and one part 7.0; half and half above 70%).

Can 7.86 lighten the hair?

Yes, up to 2 tones on natural hair (2 on the Code Zero table): from a level 5 base it reaches level 7. On coloured hair it does not lighten.

Can 7.86 go on blond or bleached hair?

From level 10 or lighter, only after pre-pigmentation: first 8.43 Light Copper Golden Blond with 10 vol for 10-15 minutes, then 7.86 with 10 vol. On levels 8 and 9 it darkens by 1-2 tones with 10 vol.

How long is the processing time?

First application: 10-15 minutes on the lengths and ends, then a further 20-25 minutes after applying the roots. Touch-up: 20 minutes on the regrowth plus 10 minutes on all the hair.

Does Vibrant Color contain ammonia?

Yes. Ammonium Hydroxide appears in the INCI.

Can a developer from another brand be used?

The Code Zero leaflet specifies Code Zero's OXI oxidising emulsion, sold as Oxidizer from 0 to 40 vol: the ratios and times on this page apply with this developer.
