Making color last in resistant hair (gray, blonde, red or hair with tight cuticle). Because of the shine and reflective quality of Artego it’s Color, colorists who used outdated opaque hair colors may find that the tones of It’s Color are noticeably brighter and may look lighter than what they were used to.
Artego It’s Color has the answer for all your clients’ needs and provides 100% coverage of gray and hard to color hair while maintaining maximum shine and condition of the hair.
1. The percentage of gray in the hair is the same percentage of the Natural shade (.0 series) you add to your formula. Natural is the base tone, which provides the foundation for the other tones (reds and golds) to attach. This will create a level and tone that gives 100% gray coverage.
