Natural Level & Contributing Pigment

13th December, 2009

Contributing Pigment is the underlying warmth found under every Natural Level. It is exposed during lightening and effects the final color result. It can be either enhanced or neutralized. [ Clairol Pro Website ]

If you want to be the lightest blonde, look at the right column to achieve that level: Level 10 blonde = bleach to Pale Yellow, or you just want to go a dark blonde: Level 6 = bleach to Orange/Gold. This can be applied to either natural hair color or hair that’s already bleached. For bleached hair, use your bleached hair (without ANY color put in) as your “starting” hair color level, eg: if you lightened to orange, use this orange as your “starting color”.
