DESCRIPTION
What is Vibrant Color 9.+?
Vibrant Color 9.+ Intense Very Light Blond by Code Zero is a professional permanent colour cream with vegetal liposomes, shea butter and alfa keratin: an intense natural very light blond, level 9. The + marks the intense naturals, with more pigment than the natural shade of the same level, 9.0 Very Light Blond. With Oxidizer 20 vol it covers white hair. It is the intense natural of level 9, between 8.+ and 10.+ in the intense naturals from 4.+ to 10.+, and one of the newer shades of the range, shown on the Vibrant Color Chart Up6 Mini. 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 (7.43 = copper golden); a doubled digit means an intense reflect (.11 = intense ash). The + sign marks the intense naturals, with more pigment (7.+). 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 9.+ deposits an intense natural pigment. 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. 9.+ is not on the main Code Zero colour chart, so there are no official ratings by base and no lifting figure: the table below follows the uses of each Oxidizer volume given in the Code Zero leaflet. On a new base, always start with a strand test.
| Starting base | Oxidizer | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Level 9 | 20 vol; 10 vol without white hair | Tone on tone, covers white hair |
| Level 8 | 20 vol | Lifts by 1 tone and covers the white hair at level 9 |
| Level 9 with more than 70% white hair | 20 vol | Covers; on a lot of white hair the regrowth shows sooner: see the tips |
| Level 7 | 30 vol | Lifts by 2 tones; the result can stay warmer than the chart strand: strand test first |
| Level 10 | 10 vol; 20 vol with white hair | Darkens by 1 tone |
| Level 6 or darker | Lighten first with Level Out Powder | Then 9.+ with 10 vol |
| Bleached hair | 10 vol | Deposit, no lift: an intense natural very light blond over the bleached base |
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. 40 vol is not used with 9.+: it is for the strongest lifts with the lightest shades and with the superbleaching shades.
Vibrant Color 9.+ 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 the dark base that needs lightening.
Vibrant Color 9.+ on natural level 9 hair with white hair: first application
Starting point: natural level 9, never coloured, with white hair.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 9.+ + 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 9, white hair covered.
Vibrant Color 9.+ on the regrowth: touch-up
Starting point: natural regrowth with white hair, lengths already coloured with 9.+.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 9.+ + 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 9.+ instead of 9.0: when the white hair stays transparent
Starting point: natural level 9 with resistant white hair, where 9.0 leaves the white hair lighter than the rest.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 9.+ + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1); for a result between the two, half 9.+ and half 9.0.
Processing time: as for the first application, 30-40 minutes in total, starting from the most resistant areas.
Result: level 9 with a fuller coverage, thanks to the higher pigment load of the intense natural.
Vibrant Color 9.+ on natural level 8 hair: one tone lighter
Starting point: natural level 8, never coloured, with or without white hair, for a client who wants a lighter blond.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 9.+ + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1).
Processing time: as for the first application, 30-40 minutes in total.
Result: level 9, white hair covered. Lifting brings out the warm undertone of the base: for a more neutral result see the tips.
Vibrant Color 9.+ on a level 6 or darker base: first lightening, then colour
Step 1, lightening: 35 g of Level Out Powder + 70 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:2), on dry, unwashed hair. Check every 5 minutes and stop when the hair reaches level 9; in 45 minutes at room temperature Level Out lifts 5-6 levels.
Step 2, colour, the same day: rinse, towel dry, then apply 50 ml of Vibrant Color 9.+ + 50 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol (1:1), the volume the Code Zero leaflet gives for colouring bleached hair, for 20-30 minutes, checking by sight: freshly lightened hair takes colour faster.
Note: first a strand test to see the result.
How to use Vibrant Color 9.+
- Wear gloves. Mix in a non-metal bowl with a plastic brush, both clean.
- Mix 50 ml of Vibrant Color 9.+ 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 9.+
- 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: above 70% white hair the contrast with the regrowth shows sooner. For a softer result use half 9.+ and half 9.0, or 10.+, one level lighter, always with 20 vol.
- Lifting from level 7-8: the warm undertone of the base comes through and the result can turn warm. For a neutral 9, add up to a quarter of 9.1 Very Light Ash Blond to the mix.
- Bleached hair with a yellow undertone: 9.+ deposits a natural very light blond and does not neutralise the yellow. For a cooler result, add up to a quarter of 9.1 Very Light Ash Blond to the mix, with 10 vol.
- Lengths at the touch-up: the colour builds up on the lengths with every service and the ends turn darker and duller. 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 colour does not lift a colour: going back to a lighter shade needs lightening. Tell the client before the first service.
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; .0 means natural, + means intense natural. 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.
Before you start. Determine the level of the base. Assess the percentage of white hair. Do a strand test on a new base.
Common mistakes. Expecting 9.+ to lighten a dark base. Colouring over an artificial colour expecting it to lift. Choosing the volume before looking at the base. Using a metal bowl. Using Oxidizer 0 vol on its own: it does not develop the colour.

FAQ
Which Oxidizer volume does Vibrant Color 9.+ 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 9.+, in practice 20 vol with white hair or to lift 1 tone, 10 vol without white hair, and 30 vol only from a level 7 base.
What is the difference between 9.+ and 9.0?
Both are level 9 naturals. The + marks the intense naturals, with more pigment. 9.0 is on the main Code Zero colour chart, with ratings by base and a lifting power of 3; 9.+ is one of the newer shades and has no technical table on the chart.
Why does this page not give a lifting power?
The lifting power and the ratings by base come from the main Code Zero colour chart, and 9.+ is not on it. The starting-base table follows the Oxidizer uses in the Code Zero leaflet: on a new base, do a strand test.
20 vol or 30 vol for the first application?
The Code Zero leaflet also gives 30 vol for first applications: on very resistant virgin hair it helps the colour take, but it lifts the base slightly. On a level 8-9 base with 9.+ 20 vol is usually enough; keep 30 vol for a level 7 base and for virgin hair that does not take the colour.
How much Vibrant Color 9.+ 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 9.+ cover white hair?
Yes, with Oxidizer 20 vol, as the Code Zero leaflet indicates.
Is 9.+ right on a lot of white hair?
It covers with 20 vol. Above 70% white hair the regrowth shows sooner: for a softer result use half 9.+ and half 9.0, or 10.+.
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.
