As you may know already, I've been using this product for quite a long time now! I bought my first bottle more than 10 years ago! Since then, the Nutri Color Creme masks have been a staple in my hair routine.
This mask is free of ammonia, it nourishes and detangles my hair without weighing it down. I can use it as often as I need, and it doesn't damage my hair. It refreshes color in less than 5 minutes and makes my hair soft and shiny. Love it!
The Nutri Color Creme 3 in 1 Cocktails are extremely pigmented! The shades 1002 White Platinum and 1003 Golden Blonde are very light so they won't stain your hands, but I highly recommend to wear gloves with all the other shades (especially the reds!). Also, be careful because it can stain your shower walls too.
I use them once a week in place of my go-to hair mask, and usually start with a clarifying shampoo to remove all traces of styling products. For best results, gently comb through with a wide tooth comb and leave for at least 3 minutes.
I haven't noticed a huge difference between the old and the new formula, but I have a few colors in both formulas and the shades aren't identical. For example, the shade 411 was a very ashy brown and now it looks a bit warmer on my hair.
Also, I find that the old formula detangles my hair a bit better, but the new formula makes my hair look more shiny.

When my hair is dark brown (level 5) and starts looking a bit dull, I always use the shades 411 Ash Brown or 513 Frosty Brown. The color 411 Ash Brown is a gorgeous deep espresso brown, while the shade 513 Frosty Brown is a beautiful rich brown!

I used to have burgundy hair (level 6), and the shade 500 Purple Red was my favorite to keep the color from fading too fast! I loved 200 Violet too, a darker magenta violet.
The red shades are extremely pigmented, the end result will vary depending on your hair color. They are very bright on blonde hair! If you have dark brown hair (level 5 or darker), it will only add red, copper or violet reflects.

I love the shade 812 Pearly Beige, I have caramel highlights right now and it helps neutralize brassy tones. If I want to completely remove warm tones, I mix it with the shade 002 Lavender.
I'm disappointed with the shade 1002 White Platinum though, the color is very sheer and will only work on a level 10 (platinum).
Left to right : 002 Lavender, 005 Pink, 300 Yellow, 700 Green

The range contains an uncolored formula as well (000 Clear), which is ideal for creating pastel colors when mixed with the other shades. I mixed the 000 Clear with 005 Pink to create this beautiful golden pink! (Please note that if you want pastel hair, your hair needs to be a very pale blond)
The shade 700 Green is interesting, you can use it by itself if you want green hair (or mix it with the 000 Clear for a pastel green), or use it to neutralize brassy or red tones (like I did for this before/after!).
The Revlon Professional Nutri Color Creme 3 in 1 Cocktail retail for $36 CAD for 270ml and $17 CAD for 100ml. This product is available at Beauty Bay, LookFantastic, Beauty Expert, HQhair.com and Mankind.

I so need this for when my color starts to fade-you have made my day!
ReplyDeleteYou will love it!!!
DeleteWow the results are so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteI know right?!
DeleteWow. These look great. I love the idea of maintaining your colour longer with a cream at home. I colour my hair red, so it fades pretty fast and this would really help. But the toners look so neat for lighter shades and blondes. I know how brassy or yellow it can turn on people. Plus the whole pastel thing, that is neat to be able to do at home easily.
ReplyDeleteIt's a must-have product for redheads, you should try it!
DeleteOmg these colours are so shiny. Thanks for reviewing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI think i have an old formula and the new formula in 500 the shades are so very different and i have found the old one colours my hair so much better then the new. Such a shame i think i may have to find another product to use now :(
ReplyDeleteI don't have the old 500 to compare it with the new 500, I finished my tube a while ago. I tried all the shades in the new formula though, and the shade 500 is very pigmented and gave me great results but I can't remember exactly the color of the old shade. I'm sad to hear that the color is different. They did that with the shade 411 too, the color isn't exactly the same, although the product is still very pigmented.
DeleteHave you tried 200? I know it looks dark on the swatch but when I tried it on copper hair, it gave me a gorgeous cool red with a hint of purple.
Oh and by the way, if there's 'panthenol' on the ingredient list, it's the new formula.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteI too have caramel highlights right now and need to neutralize the brassy tones in my hair.
If I want to completely remove the warm tones, how much of shade 002 Lavender do I mix with 812 Pearly Beige?
(Slightly worried of my hair turning purple, that wouldn’t be a good look for me😂)
Do you have any pictures or tutorials of the this shade combo?
And would you recommend I buy 002 Lavender over 1002 White Platinum for cancelling warm tones?
Thanks in advance and thank you for an amazing postal and blog!
Thanks for your kind words! :)
DeleteIt depends on how orange/copper your hair is. I would start with only the shade 812 Pearly Beige, it might be enough to neutralize the brassy tones. But if your hair is very orange, you will need the 002 Lavender too!
I personally use 8 pumps of 812 Pearly Beige and the equivalent of 2 pumps of 002 Lavender (this one is in a tube though, so I always guess the amount of product). I have very long hair though, so you may not need 10 pumps. :)
Oh and the shade 1002 will do nothing for your hair, it's only good for platinum blonde hair!
Omg THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been searching all over the internet for a comparison of the orange/copper tones and for some reason it's nearly impossible to find!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide between 400, 734 and 740 and I swear it's like no one has ever thought of comparing them before! lol
Thank you!
Hi Daniele,
DeleteYou're very welcome!! :)
I think they discontinued the shade 734 though, but if you really need it you can always mix 740 with 300!
Yeah, I realized that one was discontinued once I checked their official website. I also noticed that the old formula for 740 was a bright red copper (the bottle said simply "copper"), and the new one is toned down a lot, and was renamed "light copper".
DeleteSo I guess that means I'll stick to the 400 lol
Thanks again! :)
Oh really? I wonder why they changed the color.
Delete400 is awesome, sooo intense!!
Thank you for writing this article! I have long dark brown curly hair and even tho nutricolor is not supposed to work on virgin hair it does for me by adding depth and shine. I've always used 411 but found after a while it would leave an ashy tone to it. So I started mixing with Deep Chestnut 513 it worked perfectly and added the warmth I wanted. Shopping this week I found out 513 had changed to Frosty Brown 😳. So I went Deep searching found a supplier for the original 513 and thought great ! Then it arrived.. it was Frosty Brown. Arghh ! Without opening it I have no idea if the same colour. Contacted the supplier who apologised and is convinced he does have the original in stock and will look for me on Monday. In the meantime I'm thinking just bite the bullet Rachelle open it have a look and take a chance. Anyhoo thanks to your article I'm reckoning I will happy with the Frosty Brown ( may still get the Deep Chestnut too if there are a few to be had tho) and the info that 411 now has some warmth to it helped even more. So thanks again great review and info, truly appreciate it 😁
ReplyDeleteHi Rachelle,
DeleteYou're welcome! I'm surprised to hear that it works on your virgin hair, especially if your hair is dark brown!
Have you checked the ingredient list? If there's 'panthenol' on the ingredient list, it's the new formula.
Let me know how it turns out!
Thanks for this post! I just bought the 700 green to neutralize my extremely coppery stained blonde hair (natural level 8-9). The lady at the salon supplier told me to leave it in for "a minute or less" or dilute it in conditioner. I am really afraid now lol! Is it THAT pigmented? I bought 190 blue and 002 lavender as well in case, or at least for my bleached ends which are not currently brassy.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI wouldn't use the green on blonde hair, this color is better for copper or red hair.
I would try the 002 Lavender with conditioner, and if you can still see copper tones in your hair, then add a drop of 190 Blue in your 002 Lavender + conditioner mix. Be careful with the shade 190 though!
Do you think you could mix the copper and red together to get a more red based copper? I was told by a hairdresser if I do this it will just create a mucky colour but it seems a lot of people mix the colours?
ReplyDeleteI always mix the colors, never had a problem with this product!
DeleteHi, I have blond balayage on naturally brown hair, could you please recommend whether I could use either pearly beige or golden blond for a lift? and would I use it all over or just on the blond strands?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Hi Maria,
DeleteThe shade 812 Pearly Beige will neutralize warm tones, while the shade 1003 Golden Blond will add a subtle golden tone. Unless your blonde is super light though, 1003 Golden Blond won't show up. By the way these masks only deposit color on the hair, you can't lighten your hair with them. So you can apply the shade 812 all over (if that's the color you want to use) and it will only neutralize your blond balayage, and 1003 will only add a golden tone on your blonde strands (if they are very light to begin with).
Please let me know if you have any further questions!
Thank you so much for your advice! some are lighter than others and I would not mind a golden tone so I think I will go for that, but mainly it is extremely helpful to know that I can apply all over without ruining the balayage effect. Many thanks
DeleteI'm happy to help! :)
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteHow many washes does the nutricolor creme last?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Suyesha,
DeleteIt depends on the shade, dark and bright shades tend to last longer. In general, they last at least 3-4 washes!
Hi, I've only just found this product today, been searching for a better colour depositing shampoo than what I've been using which is limited colour. Do these colours cover white hair? My hair is 98% white as in gray. It does take to other depositing shampoos such as marion. If so I'd like to order one but not sure on 812 or 931 I like natural colours ashes and beige but don't like anything golden or honey. Torn between the 2 as the 812 looks lovely but could make my hair more grey looking, on the other hand if the 931 is very golden that wouldn't be any good either thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Evej,
DeleteThey aren't supposed to work on natural or white hair, but I heard that some of the shades show up on natural hair. I haven't tried on white hair yet, though. However, even if it did work on white hair, it looks like they don't have the perfect shade for you unfortunately. 812 is very ashy while 931 has a strong yellow undertone.
Does anyone know if these are suitable for those allergic to semi and permanent hair colours. I'm OK with Affinage hot shotz and wondered if these were similar??
ReplyDeleteDo you know what is the ingredient you are allergic to? If it's ammonia or peroxide you'll be able to use these hair masks, as they don't contain these two ingredients.
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCan I please ask what the beat way to remove the left over colour is please?
I have a client who has scalp bleach and then we tone with pastel colours I mix up for her. She keeps this topped up herself too but now has said he haor has gone green so what is the best way to remove this? Thank you xx
Have you tried a clarifying shampoo? If it didn't work, I would do a bleach bath and quickly rinse it off, the color will come off super fast (a few minutes max!). But try the clarifying shampoo first!
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what is the best way to remove the left over tone from the fashion shades? Thank you x
Clarifying shampoo or bleach bath, try the clarifying shampoo first.
DeleteHi Kristelle,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this brilliant post. I had ombre hair and had it dyed to my natural shade which is a neutral medium brown. However, to prevent the blonde ends from going green, I think the hairdresser had to add a bit of warmth. This was months ago, and now the dyed blonde ends got lighter and overall my hair looks really warm/brassy which doesn't look good on me. I am after a ashier medium brown. The hairdresser suggested Revlon NCC 411 but I am not sure if it will be too dark for me.
Do you have any suggestions as to which of the NNC shade would be best to use to achieve medium ash brown?
Thanks xx
Hi,
DeleteI'm so sorry for the delay.
I would use the shade 411, and if it's too dark I would mix it with 812. But try 411 first!
Hi I really want a mahogany colour but think this has been discontinued. I’ve got 513 at the moment. Could I mix this with purple red? What do you suggest?
ReplyDeleteYes they discontinued it, but you can get similar results with the shades 513 and 500!
DeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Best way to elliminate green tones in my hair? My hair has light brown ends, dark green in the middle and my natural light brown color on top. What to do? 1002? I would like to have a cold brown/light brown haircolor but dont know what to do and how to begin with.
Regards :)
Hi,
DeleteThe shade 1002 would do nothing for your hair color, it only works for very light blonde hair.
The only way to eliminate green would be to bleach the green section, or add a darker brown with red undertones. You can't color your hair lighter with the Nutri Color Creme mask, unfortunately.
Hi I dyed my hair to a burgundy colour but its come down to a copper tone. I've got balayage on dark brown hair. I tried 641 to get back the colour but it just made the copper tone a bit darker. Would you recommend mixing in some fire red 600 for a burgundy tone?
ReplyDeleteYes you can mix it with a small amount of 600, or 500 if you prefer a cool-toned burgundy. I personally prefer a mix of the shades 513 and 600 (or 500) for a burgundy shade, since 641 is quite sheer compared to the other brown colors. It depends if you want a medium and brighter burgundy, or a muted and deeper burgundy!
DeleteHi I'm trying to achieve a burgundy shade colour. I have dark brown hair bleached and highlighted to a honey blonde colour. I have revlon nutri colour 641 chestnut blonde would mixing fire red 600 give me a wine/burgundy colour?
ReplyDeleteI would mix it with 500 or 600! 500 is more cool toned (pink undertones) while 600 is more neutral-warm toned (red-orange undertones). I would only add a small amount of 500 or 600 though, otherwise it might be too bright.
DeleteHi can I mix 641 and 740 by hair is like a copper and brown but the ends are light from the ombre it fades a lot
ReplyDeleteOf course! I'm not sure if it would be dark enough for you though, maybe 513 and 740 would be a better choice for your copper and brown hair.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found this review. I've been using 740 copper on my blonde highlighted hair and extensions. I've tried the pink before and it did wash out after 10 washes or so. I'm on my 3/4 wash with the copper now, and it don't seem to fade much. Any suggestions how long it will last? Will copper be harder to wash out? Thank you :)
Hi!
DeleteI haven't used the shade 740 on my own hair yet, but usually pink fades faster than orange. If it doesn't fade fast enough for you, you can always try a clarifying shampoo or Head & Shoulders shampoo!
I have Asian hair and got a balayage - the colour is looking a bit orange so I would like to make it more of a brown or ashy colour. What would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the color of the balayage? If it's a blonde, I would try the shade 812, but if you hair is quite orange it won't be ashy enough. If your hair is a brassy light brown, then I would mix the shades 411 and 812. Unfortunately they don't have a shade between 411 (Ash Brown) and 812 (Pearly Beige) so you would need to buy two shades. You can always try 411 but it would be a very dark brown.
DeleteHi, what about the shade 713? Is that not ashy?
DeleteHi!
DeleteIt has Ash Gold undertones, I find that it's more golden than ashy.
Hi Lorraine! I'm glad you like the post!
ReplyDeleteThe lavender shade would be a medium blue purple on your hair. If you want a light lavender, I suggest to mix it with your conditioner. Your hair need to be very light though, level 9 should be fine but only if it's not too yellow to begin with, otherwise it will only neutralize the yellow and you will get a beige blonde.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have naturally brown hair at the root, 6/7 with balayage of about and 8, my extensions used to match because they were toned but now they are an 9/10 and I want them to match my hair again, how do I make them a more ashy slight darker blonde? Maybe i can mix 1003 with 931? does that make a lighter ashy blonde?
Thanks so much!!
Hi!
DeleteThe shade 1003 would be way too light and it only add gold undertones, and the color 931 might not be ashy enough for you. For an ashy blonde, I recommend the shade 812! I would try one part of 812 mixed with one part of your favorite conditioner first, and if it's not ashy or dark enough, then you can apply the color 812 undiluted.
Hello, when you used 700 for your brassy brown colour, did you just use 700 or did you mix it with something specific please? How long did you leave it on please? I have a reverse balayage with the roots dyed a dark blonde, but it's starting to fade and there are noticeable red/orange tones which I would like to disappear! Any suggestions please? Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi! I only used the shade 700, and I usually leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Are you able to send me a picture of your hair? I'm afraid your hair might be too light or not red enough for this shade.

Hi I recently bleached my hair to a level 9 ashy blonde. It is alright but my roots are slightly yellow in certain light and my ends have gone a bit too ashy.
ReplyDeleteFirstly would 1003 help to conteract the over ashy parts in your opinion?
And is 812 to dark to use on light blonde hair? As i would like to tone down the lightness if possible.
Hi!
DeleteYes 1003 will help for the ashy parts, but if the ends are very ashy it can turn green. The good news is that ashy hair tends to fade quite fast, so you can try washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo first.
The shade 812 will darken your hair to a level 8 and neutralize the yellow. Hope that helps!
Hi there. Thank you for such a helpful article. I have very light dyed blonde hair, level 10 I would say. I recently used 812 as I wanted to tone it down to a darker blonde. I almost loved it but it was just a little bit too ashy or dull/flat looking. I usually like a clean blonde colour when its really bright but think maybe I need some warmth or maybe golden tones when it's that little bit darker? I loved the level of "darkness" of 812 but could I maybe mix with 1003 or 931 to help with some depth or warmth I'm looking for (I think !!!) Would you recommend maybe just 931 instead? Really appreciate any advice
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteYou're welcome!
Yes I think 931 would be better for you, although it will be lighter than 812. The problem with 812, is that your hair is already very light and probably doesn't have much gold/warm undertones. So when you use a shade like 812 (with ashy tones) it will look very ashy (which is fine for that ashy trend, not so much for that bright blonde you want!).
Unfortunately, they don't have a level 8 shade with warmer undertones. I would be careful with mixing the shades 812 and 931, as it can turn slightly green. (gold + ashy undertones = green) You can always try the shade 931 by itself (just wait until the 812 has faded a little), but it might be a bit lighter than you want. If that's the case, I would mix 1 part 931 with 1 part 713.
Let me know if you have more questions!
Thank you so much for your reply. It was very helpful and exactly what I needed to know. I definitely don't want green hair!! I'm going to try 931 and 713 I think as I definitely do want to tone down the brightness level. Thanks again 😊
DeleteMy pleasure! Let me know how it turns out! :)
DeleteThank you so much again for your advice. Just reporting back that you were spot on. I mixed equal parts of 931 and 713 and it toned down the blonde to a lovely shiny honey blonde I would call it. Thanks again!!
DeleteYay!! I'm so happy it was exactly what you wanted! :)
DeleteHi Kristelle,
ReplyDeleteLovely post. I have black hair with caramel highlights. Can i use 513 to darken it
Hi!
DeleteYes it will darken your highlights to a beautiful rich brown! It won't darken or lighten your black hair though.
Thanks. If i had to maintain the caramel highlights which volor should i use.
DeleteDo you mean that your hair is brassy? If that's the case, you can try the shade 812 or a mix of the shades 812 and 411. It depends on how light or dark your highlights are!
DeleteThank you for this shade comparison, very helpful! I was wondering if you could perhaps recommend a shade to tone my hair? My natural hair is a level 6/7 dark ashy blonde. The rest of my hair is currently a brassy copper shade after using a colour remover (I was getting rid of dark reddish brown). I'm planning to do a second colour remover application and then tone my hair so that it kind of matches my virgin hair. Would 812 be enough or should I just bleach my hair first? I wanted to avoid bleaching as it's already very damaged. Thanks in advance! :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't bleach it if it's already very damaged!
DeleteI'm afraid the shade 812 won't be ashy enough for you. What you need is a mixture of the shades 812 and 411! I'm not sure if it will neutralize all the copper tones, but that's the best you can do with the Nutri Color Creme range.
is the chestnut blonde 641 ashy or golden? ive tried 2 of tones now figuring out if i should get 641 or 513 :S
ReplyDeleteHi Ana Claudia!
DeleteThe shade 641 has copper undertones with a hint of ashy tones, but really it's mainly a warm light brown. And the shade 513 is darker with rich golden undertones (it's supposed to be ashy, it will help neutralize brassy tones but it's still a golden brown). Does that makes sense? lol I hope it helps.
Thank you for the lovely article, it helped me understand a bit better the shades. I have a question that you can help me with maybe. I bleached my brown hair 2 weeks ago and now I start to get a slight yellow undertone, and want to remove it. Would you recommend 1002 or 1003?
ReplyDeleteHi Stella!
DeleteThe shade 1003 will add more yellow undertones, so I wouldn't recommend this one.
I would try the shade 1002 if your hair is very light, or the new shade 1022 (but I haven't tried it yet)!
Hi, I’m a natural mousey light brown and have a high lift tint which always looks a bit brassy to be honest. My roots are awful in lockdown so gave 812 a go and I’m really pleased. Definitely given me a more ashy/beige colour. The only thing I don’t love is that it feels a bit flat, not very shiny. What would you recommend?? Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Gemma!
DeleteYou can try mixing the shade 812 with your favorite conditioner or hair mask!
Hi I used to use this when j was red years ago. Been a brunette for many years but now trying to go back to a copper/auburn colour. I vaguely remembering applying straight to dry hair. But the instructions say applied to wet towel dried hair. I think I applied it to dry as the colour was more vibrant then. Is this true? So would the 740 be more vibrant if applied to dry hair. Pretty sure I used to leave it on for half hour too ha xx
ReplyDeleteHi Betty!
DeleteYou can apply it on dry hair (I did it a few times too), but it doesn't work as well if you used silicone-based styling products. You will need more product as well.
Yes you can leave it for 30 minutes too, no worries! :) I'm not sure if the color will be more vibrant though. Please let me know if you try it!
Well I bit the bullet and applied to dry hair. It's amazing. Very vibrant, however I haven't tried it on wet to see if it's more or less so.
ReplyDeleteI used the 740 and it's a bit more red than I was hoping. Could I mix it with another colour to give me a more "ginger" look?
Hi Betty,
DeleteYes you can mix it with the shade 713! ou 641 if you want something a bit darker. HTH!
Hello me again haha. I was hoping for lighter as opposed to darker. Something along the lights of the 7.40 Olia auburn colour. Would you still recommend the 713 to mix?
DeleteHi Betty!
DeleteYes I would recommend the shade 713 mixed with 740! Let me know how it turns out!
Hiya! So I finally got round to mixing the 713 and 740. It's a lovely colour but not quite what I was hoping for. A bit to dark and heading to the brown side.
DeleteI'm gonna give the 931 mixed with 740 a go next lol.
Ohhh I hope you like it!!
DeleteHallo
ReplyDeleteHabe sehr hellblonde blondiert Haare.
Bisher habe ich zu Pflege immer 1002 benutzt.
Nun war ich mutig und habe eine Mischung aus 400 und 740 aufgetragen. Die Farbe ist zwar schön aber nicht ganz so wie ich es mir wünsche.
Ich möchte ein natürlich aussehendes helles rot braun.
Wollte 641 und 740 dafür mischen.
Was würden Sie mischen um den zu erhalten?
Hi,
DeleteI'm sorry, I don't speak German so I hope you will understand my message.
Yes I would mix the shades 641 and 740! You can always add a bit of the color 400 if it's too brown for you.
Let me know how it turns out!
Hi kristelle ,
ReplyDeleteI previously had copper red hair and colour it back to my original base of a 5 / dark brown but there is still coppery tones coming through and continual fading Which colour could you recommend to help this ?
Hi!
DeleteI would try the shade 411, although it seems like it would be too dark, I think you would love it more than the shade 513. If it's not ashy enough, you can always add the shade 002 Lavender. HTH!
Hi Kristelle,
ReplyDeleteThansk for this post, I can't seem to find any other good info on this product! I'm not great at understanding the hair terms, I used to dye my hair quite often either professionally and occasional at-homestuff, but it's all grown out now and I've got my natural light-brown colour with undertones of strawberry/light copper. I wanted to bring out these undertones with the light-copper 740 of this. But I saw you saying it doesn't really work for non-dyed (virgin) hair? Do you think since I have the colour naturally it might help to bring it out? I want to avoid using harsh chemicals and this seems gentle, and that I could control the amount of time.
I also wondered if this fades with washing so if I hate it it'll fade away within a month or two. So many questions! :)
Hi!
DeleteIt can't lighten your natural color, but it can add a subtle color on virgin hair, especially blonde or red hair.
I would try a mix of the shades 400 and 740, as I think 740 will be too subtle for virgin hair.
Yes it fades with washing, no worries! Depending on how often you wash your hair, it should be completely gone after 2-3 weeks.
Hi Kristelle! I was wondering of you have a lot of orange tones going on. Can you also use blue mixed with 812 or 411? Also thanks so much for this article and your time.
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteOf course! I do this all the time, the shade 002 is awesome for brassy tones! :)
Hi there I just used 812 on my hair that was slightly brassy with more warm golden orange in the midlengths and it turned it slightly mucky green, is there any way to fix this and brighten it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Marina,
DeleteYes, you can use a clarifying shampoo!
Hi this artical is great I have natural copper red hair but it has gone more blond in the sun and I want to go back to the more red copper would these work on natural hair I'm liking ither copper or purple red if it does
ReplyDeleteThey aren't supposed to work on natural hair, but some of my followers tried it on natural hair and it worked well for them. I would try the shade 740!
DeleteHi kristelle,
ReplyDeleteI hope this makes sense!
My hair is currently Your after 513 shade but I want it to be more of your before 411 shade!
Would you recommend using the 513 or the 411?
I’m from the uk and normally use L’Oréal casting cream gloss shade 500 medium brown when I colour my hair but I’m interested in using this Revlon colour Creme in between to make it look less dull!
Many thanks 😊 x
Hi Hannah,
DeleteI would try the shade 411!
HTH!
Hi Kristelle I need your help. I’m naturally a level 5 brunette and recently got blonde highlights/balayage and it’s quite ashy in places. I’d love to go back to brunette with more neutral or golden tones. I dyed my hair brown in the past and it turned green. Could you recommend which colour I could use or could I use this as a filler before using a permanent hair dye ? Thanks for any advice
ReplyDeleteHi Claire,
DeleteI would mix the shades 513 and 600 (9 parts 513 and one part 600). You can always try the shade 513 without the red, but it might turn a bit green or ashy.
I wouldn't use it as a filler though!
Hi Kristelle, Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. I’ll give it a go, you’re a life saver 😊xx
DeleteYou're welcome!! :)
DeleteHi Kristelle! I have very light blonde hair and i am thinking about trying red color (maybe 600). Will it completely wash out? Will it just fade or am I going to be orange at some point? How long will it take to wash out? Thanks 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Shejla!
DeleteI'm afraid it won't completely wash out, red fades fast but it takes a while to completely wash out, if that makes sense. And yes it will be orange!
Hi Kristelle, I recently dyed my dark Virgin hair with a box dye and It gave me hot roots :( Will the 411 be enough to darken just the roots? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Gill!
DeleteYes 411 would be a great shade for you!
Hi I love the 500 purple red but it’s a bit too bright. What will be best to tone it down 513 641 or 200?
ReplyDeleteHi! I would try the shade 513!
DeleteHi Kristelle,
ReplyDeleteI had a beautiful full head of balayage done this past summer giving me the “bronde” look. Beautiful medium brown roots (level 6) and honey highlights (level 8). When I went back for roots touch up and toner, she put on a golden toner overtop of everything essentially covering my gorgeous balayage (because it was too dark) and the gold tone she decided to use this time does not work well with my skin tone (nor ash). My question is, how do I get rid of the gold toner so I can see my highlights again? If that’s not possible unless lifting them, what Revlon creme # would help remove gold by depositing warmth? (Without going brassy). Thanks!
Hi Tonia,
DeleteThe toner will probably fade after a few washes! You can also try a clarifying shampoo to speed up the process!
Good day, I am growing out my grey hair. I am a coloured black head naturally blonde. I want to keep my ends black but they turn red just in a few weeks. Can I use green toner on my black brassy hair?
ReplyDeleteHi! Yes, but be careful as it can leave a green tint on white or blonde hair!
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteCan I use this on my blonde bleached balayage....? Wanting a nice warm brown to match up tpnthe roots. 😊 thanks
Yes you can, but it can look a bit patchy.
DeleteHi!! I have colored medium brown hair (not bleached) with highlights (bleached). Will the pearly beige affect my base color or just the bleached highlights?
ReplyDeleteHi! It would only work on the bleached highlights!
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great blog !!! You're the Best !
After years of covering my roots with a level 4, I decided to let my grey grow in since March 2020 and went for help in transitioning. In September they did nice blond highlights and my hair looked striped virtically. Nice, but not my cup of tea. Returned in January and they did lots of smaller highlights quite blonde. It was OK, but quickly went brassy. So I went for a patine in March. The highlights were looking great, but the brown strands looked horrible. So last week I asked that they get rid of the brown and make them grey. Well first of all the girl did not respect the highlighter mix and the brown didn't lift much. She wasn't precise and as such I've got like tie-died strands on my beautiful virgin gray/black/white roots which are now à transparent brown. What she did lift looks à pinkinsh-beige. She didn't use anything grey, but the same patine that was used in March to counter the brassiness. UGH ! ����♀️
I went to the supply store today and the sales girl suggested using revlon 3 in 1 tube 1011.
I'm wondering what that's going to look like on the mix of colors that my hair is now. Will it cover the dark washes-out brown? What will the honey-pink (poorly lifted brown) rurn into ? And what ever strands are white-ish or a bit beige, how would they turn out ?
If I apply all over except my 3-4cms of virgin "roots", will I get différent levels of silver or will it be uni-toned ?
Thank you so much for reading this very long story.
Looking forward to hearing from you !!!
Take care,
Cat
Hi Cat,
DeleteYou will get different levels of silver, lighter strands will look more ashy and it won't do much for the washed-out brown.
Hello.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me what colour to put on my hair l am a natural red head but l have put a copper colour on top ..but now l am bored..l also have a lot of grey too..
Help please x
Hi! You can try 740 for a natural effect or go bold with the shade 400!
DeleteHi! Thank you for this post... I have naturally blonde (medium blonde) hair with red tones in it. I was considering using the 400 orange as something new... without having to commit to a proper colour. I was also considering the copper but didn't want it to be too browny. Any advice please? Does it even work on natural hair? Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it on natural hair, it might work on natural blonde hair but I'm not sure. 400 is quite bright, I would try a mix of 740 and 400!
DeleteHello, I have currently colour 6.1 on top of my head and 7.1 at the ends of my hair but its too ashy for me and I want to add a warmth into my hair. Would 411 or 513 will be a good choice to give the warm tones which I need? Thank you in advance for your help! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can try 513 but it will darken your hair color.
DeleteHi, I think they may have discontinued 812 Pearly Beige (or that's what my hairdresser told me). She said that they have replaced it with 821 Silver Beige & that it is the same. Do you know if that is true? Can't find any info anywhere. Definately don't want to use if it's a purple base. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think it's a new shade, but I've never tried it. Sorry!
DeleteThey've discontinued the 411 and I'm devastated as it was the perfect toner for my hair (naturally very dark brown but I add highlights toned with light ash brown and then medium ash brown low lights). I cannot seem to figure out which of the new line of products they released can be used like 411. The ones I tried all came out as blue or purply but I know the 411 had a green base. As a result I'm using diluted green hair dye and green shampoo to take the red out of my hair, but I'd rather go back to this product as it was so much better. Any suggestions on how to navigate the new revlon line and replicate 411? I would be so grateful for your help!
ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the new range. 411 is my favorite too, sucks that they discontinued it!
