DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ A TINT?
If you have ever dyed your hair you have surely seen a number that accompanies the name of the shade on the box and even though we never tire of repeating that to have a guaranteed result you must go to a professional, we know that it can be easier and cheaper for you. You have to do it yourself at home and not knowing how to read those “little numbers” can cause serious problems.
I am going to teach you how to read our range of MAX COLOR shades since in terms of colorimetry each brand has its own nomenclature and this can vary from range to range.
We want to help you learn to read the tone of your dye well so that you know which is the real tone that you are applying. First, we must know what each number means. You will see in the range tones that only have a number, tone 8, tones that have a number. followed by two letters 8mc tones that carry two numbers divided by a dot 8.1 and tones that carry three numbers divided by a dot 8.11. image tones
They all have the first number in common, which is 8, but they are completely different tones and we explain why and how to read them.
The closer you are to 1 it will be darker and the closer you are to 10 it will be lighter.
The first number is equivalent to any of these, taking 8 as an example, it would be a light blonde tone. If we add the mc, we are talking about a maximum coverage dye formulated especially for gray coverage but it is still light blonde.
Now the second example 8.1 we are talking about a dye with reflection, it is a light blonde tone with ash reflection reading as follows light ash blonde
Now let's go to example 8.11, we already know that 8 is a light blonde tone that contains an ashy reflection. If the second number after the dot is equal to the first reflection, we are talking about a blonde with an intense reflection. For example, 8.11 is an intense light ash blonde. That double number tells us that it has a double ashy reflection. and if you find it as an 8.31 we are again talking about a light ash golden blonde tone, the ash golden color is given by 3 and 1 after the point
Remember to take these little tables into account when choosing your dye
