Crema XG®

2. MIXING
Mix 1 part of Crema XGTM to 1 part of 10 volume Paul Mitchell® Cream Developer (1:1 ratio).
CLEAR GUIDELINES
Crema XGTM Clear may be used alone for added shine and enhanced condition, or it may be intermixed with other Crema XGTM shades. To reduce a tone’s intensity or deposit, mix Crema XGTM Clear in equal parts with the selected shade.
GRAY BLENDING
Use these tips to achieve dimensional gray blending on up to 30% gray hair. For hair that is more than 30% gray or for full opaque gray coverage, we recommend using Color XG® permanent cream hair color.
• Apply gray blending formula to clean, dry hair.
• Formulate 1 level darker than the target level.
• Choose a formula from the N or NN families:
– If intermixing with other Crema XGTM shades, be sure to include N or NN in at least 50% of the formula. – For example: For a natural red-brown on 30% gray hair, use 5NN 1 oz. (30 ml/g) + 4RB 1 oz. (30 ml/g) + 10 volume Paul Mitchell® Cream Developer 2 oz. (60 ml/g). • An additional 10 minutes of processing time is recommended for coarse hair.
