The first number indicates how dark the hair color is - from "black" to "light blonde”, the second indicates the main shade - from“natural" to "pearl". The last digit (or two) indicates an additional shade. It is useful to have such a scale with you, so it is easier to make the right choice.

If natural dyes were used before, then you need to approach the tinting procedure more carefully. Many products, for example, henna or basma, can have a negative effect in combination with a tint balm. To get rid of gray hair, it is best to use Concept tonics in the most natural shades.. With very light natural curls, it is worth using their darkening gradually over several procedures. At the same time, apply colors with different intensities - first lighter, then darker.
