TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FORMULATION
The following information is meant to serve as a guide only for the mixing of our products. ColorDesign is not responsible if a Colorist chooses to add something from outside of our product line such as bond multipliers, color accelerators or the addition of heat and/or a lack of appropriate temperature.
If the desired color is the same level or darker than the client’s natural level, use ColorDesign Tone-on-Tone color. If the desired color is lighter that the client’s natural color, or the client has more than 50% grey and maximum coverage is desired, use ColorDesign permanent hair color. For maximum lightening in one step, ColorDesign super-lighteners are recommended. For more than four levels of lift, ColorDesign SHINY BLOND or a Powder Lightener should be used.

ELEMENTS OF COLORDESIGN
Choose your developer based on your desired level of lift.
- 10 volume = 1 level
- 20 volume = 2 levels (optimal grey coverage)
- 30 volume = 3 levels
- 40 volume = 4 levels (optimal lightening when mixed with super lighteners)
For more than four levels of lift use ColorDesign Shiny Blond or Ammonia-Free Powder Lighteners
GREY COVERAGE
For optimal grey coverage we recommend the following suggestions to be mixed with 20 Volume Developer:
- 0-50% Use straight target shade (ie. 7.4)
- 50%-100% Use 1/2 neutral shade and 1/2 target shade (ie. 1/2 of 7 and 1/2 of 7.4)
- For more opaque result, mix 50cc of color with 50cc of appropriate developer (1:1 ratio).
- For more translucent results, mix 50cc of color with 75cc of appropriate developer (1:1.5 ratio)
EXAMPLES
- 7 is blonde. The absence of a decimal point followed by additional tones indicates a natural tone (100% natural)
- 7.4 is a copper blonde. The number before the decimal point is the level (blonde) and the number after the decimal is the tone (copper) (50%Natural, 50% copper)
- 7.46 is a copper auburn blonde. Level 7 (blonde) with a primary tone of copper and a secondary tone of auburn (50% Natural, 30% copper, 20% Auburn)
- 7.03 is a natural tone. The level is 7 (blonde) and the (0) after the decimal represents additional natural (80% natural, 20% gold)
- 7.33 is an intense tone. The level 7 (blonde) and there is a double tone of gold giving an intense dye load, in this case, golden blonde (75% gold, 25% natural)
- 7.666 is an extra intense tone with a triple tone of auburn (90% auburn, 10% natural)
