Colouring question

[ellishairbeauty]

Just a silly question really.

For example when toning base 9 orange hair you would use 9.1. So what is 9.01.

I would understand 9.11 (so like a double amount of ash) but why 9.01 whats the 0?

I understand the difference between a base .0 eg 5 or a 5.0 this makes the colour deeper, richer, better coverage of greys ect.... so is this how that 0 would act in the above senario? A richer deeper cover?

Just come out of wholesalers, the sales assistant tried to explain but dont think she was a hairdresser so didnt quite catch her drift!
Thanks in advance xx

.01 is a softer ash , no primary tone, x

If it's orange I would use 9.1 as the ash is stronger to kill the orange. If the 9 was yellow I would use .01

Great. This was how i was trying to explain it to the lady but couldnt remember the word primary!!! That one word is all i needed damn. I kept saying " you know the first tone"

Thank you.
I wasnt sure if the 0 meant softer or harder tone because of the base colours 5.0 being deeper than a 5.
Thanks!
