The color: Nordic elegance and crystalline purity. Code Zero Vibrant Color 9.11 Intense Ash Very Light Blond evokes the sophisticated coolness of lunar platinum or raw silk illuminated by winter light. Looking at the color chart, you immediately perceive the total absence of golden or copper pigments: it is a shade designed for those desiring an ethereal, metallic, and decidedly "cool" blonde. Imagine it as a veil of pure ice settling on the hair, neutralizing any trace of unwanted yellow to return an extremely clean and modern result. This coloration is not just aesthetic, but a true beauty treatment: it guarantees mirror-like brilliance and impeccable coverage, making it an essential tool for the professional who wants to offer high-definition blonde results without compromising hair structure.
Why choose this product. This shade is the definitive solution for combating the warm lifting undertones that often emerge in very light blondes. Code Zero's advanced formula satisfies the need for a cool blonde that stays cool over time, respecting skin sensitivity thanks to the absence of Resorcinol (as indicated on the packaging "No Resorcinol"). The heart of its effectiveness lies in the synergy between nourishing ingredients and color technology: Vegetal Liposomes act as carriers to penetrate the pigment deeply, while Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) and Beeswax (Cera Alba) protect the hydrolipidic film during the chemical process. Analyzing the INCI, we note the presence of 2-Amino-4-Hydroxyethylaminoanisole Sulfate, a key component (coupler) often used to create those deep cool, bluish, or ash reflections that shut down yellow/orange, working in harmony with Hydrolyzed Keratin which repairs the fiber. Choosing 9.11 means guaranteeing the client vibrant color, intact capillary structure, and superior neutralization of warm tones.
How to achieve the chosen color step-by-step. To get the most out of the Intense Ash Very Light Blond 9.11, preparation requires precision: in a non-metallic bowl, mix the coloring cream with Code Zero OXI oxidant in a ratio of 1:1 (e.g., 50ml of color + 50ml of oxidant). The choice of volumes (10, 20, 30, or 40) will depend on the lifting goal. For application on virgin hair (never colored), spread the mixture first on lengths and ends starting 2 cm from the root, leaving it to act for 10-15 minutes; subsequently apply to the roots and leave for another 20-25 minutes. If you are working on already colored hair (regrowth touch-up), apply the mixture only to the regrowth, leaving it for 20 minutes, then distribute the product on lengths and ends for the last 10 minutes to even out the ash reflection. Remember that scrupulous respect for timing is fundamental for the stability of the cool reflection.
Emulsion and rinsing. At the end of the processing time, before proceeding with water, it is essential to perform a correct emulsion: add a few drops of warm water and gently massage the cream over the entire head of hair. This step facilitates the detachment of color from the scalp and guarantees uniformity and shine. Subsequently, rinse abundantly until the water runs clear and proceed with the specific post-color shampoo to seal the cuticles.
Tips. The 9.11 is a powerful ally for toning. If used after bleaching to neutralize residual yellow, I recommend using it with a 10 volume oxidant to deposit the ash pigment without further stressing the hair. For stronger lifting on natural bases, 30 or 40 volumes will allow you to exploit the lifting power of the very light blonde while maintaining control over the warm reflection. To keep the coolness of this blonde intact and prevent yellowing over time, always suggest the client use the Inej Color Protect range, formulated to protect pigments from oxidation and keep hair hydrated and luminous.
