Vibrant Color 90.2 Superbleaching Violet Blond

What is Vibrant Color 90.2?

Vibrant Color 90.2 Superbleaching Violet Blond by Code Zero is a professional permanent colour cream with vegetal liposomes from the superbleaching series: it lightens and colours in one step, with a violet (irisé) reflect. According to the Code Zero leaflet the superbleaching shades lift natural hair by up to 4-5 tones; they are mixed with Oxidizer 30 or 40 vol at a 1:1.5 ratio and need a total processing time of 45-50 minutes. On the Code Zero Color Index 90.2 sits in the violet sector, opposite yellow: it tones down the yellow that remains when hair is lifted to a very light blond. It is the violet shade of the superbleaching series 90.0 to 90.4.

Specifications

The starting base decides the colour

Vibrant Color 90.2 lightens natural hair by up to 4-5 tones and deposits a violet pigment: on the Code Zero table its lifting power is 4-5. The result is the shade plus what the hair already contains: first look at the base, that is the level and whether the hair is natural, coloured or bleached, then choose the Oxidizer. The Code Zero colour chart shows on which bases 90.2 gives the best result. On the Code Zero colour wheel (Color Index) 90.2 sits in the violet sector, opposite yellow: it tones down the yellow undertone of a very light blond; it has less effect on the orange that comes out of darker bases.

Mixing ratio 1:1.5, total processing time 45-50 minutes, as the Code Zero leaflet indicates for the superbleaching shades. A superbleaching shade lifts only natural, never-coloured hair: on coloured hair it does not lighten. 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. Code Zero gives no data on white hair for the superbleaching shades: to cover white hair at level 10, use 10.0 with 20 vol.
