This is so embarrassing

[lauragduffy]

I know the first number is the lightscale number. But I have a problem with the numbers that follow afterwards.
I know 1 is ash, 3 is gold, 6 is red. But I do not know all the other numbers:-( And this is starting to effect my hairdressing:-(
Can someone please help me with what all the other second numbers mean, I would be so grateful :Love:
All these time and I have been too embarrassed to ask any hairdresser I know in person, and didn't cross my mind until now to ask on Internet!!!

Your second numbers are tonal, these vary by brand.
Have you got a shade chart? This should help you.
What brand are you using?

I know how you feel!
All salons I have worked and trained in have always used the letters as apposed to numbers.. im gettin use to them now thanks to my L'oreal shade chart, but its not uncommon I know a few hairdressers who are the same!

the first of the second number is dominant tone and the second less so. . . for examle if say u have 8/73 it wud be depth 8 with dominant ash and a hint o gold? thats tigi colour though where 7 is ash i realise it different with other brands haha x

YES!!! That is exactly what I meant. Do you know what a 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 means (not the first depth number (I know those), I mean the number after the . or /) eg. 7.84 what would this mean?'

Thanks for your help!!

Which colour range do you use?

 

[sarahemma]

It all depends on which company products you use. Why dont you get hold of the colour chart, this usually has a lot of the information you need. Or you could contact the company direct, im sure they will help you out.

Thank you so much!
I remember Clynol's colorchart said 1 is Ash (as usual) and that 2 is Matt Ash? Never seen this before but I did on Clynol's colorchart a few months back and never forgotten as found it different!
