NOTES
This is a guideline chart for COLOR TOUCH “Filling” technique, all recipes are a guideline
only and should be adjusted depending on the hair’s porosity and the target shade. It has been proven
that if you add too warm an undertone when pre-pigmenting the new colour will keep exposing too
much red. These recipes give the closest to a neutral colour as possible.
WATCH POINT
The timings for the COLOR TOUCH “Filling” is imperative for colour result. It has been observed from
leaving the product on longer than development time can result in a darker shade than desired.
