Choose Calura Gloss for and colour correcting or neutralizing when lifting and toning.  

When choosing Calura Permanent and Calura Gloss together it is crucial to not overlap the two in your application or mix each as well. As stated by our manufacturers guild lines, overlapping Calura Permanent with Calura Gloss can cause unpredictable results!

What are Fashion Shades? (Calura and Calura gloss) 

Our fashion shades are the tonalities that are not our white hair coverage or white hair blending, intensifiers, pastel. These are the R, K, RR, RV, RRV, KR. 

Is AG series 100% white hair coverage? 

If there is less than 25% white hair existing, then yes you can utilize 100% AG /13 series on its own with Calura Permanent. If more than 25% white hair is existing, then utilize one of our white hair coverage series. 

White hair coverage vs. blending 

When choosing white hair coverage vs blending, it’s all about your guest’s hair journey and what they are seeking. When choosing blending, in most instances your guest like to switch up their tonalities more frequently and for white hair coverage they like to “fully commit” to their tonality.  

Clarification: Recommended for color corrections but not highlighted hair? Can you explain? 

There may be hesitations about using the new AG -13 series behind the chair in the situation where lightening has been done. If your guest is a level 9 or 10 we recommend not choosing AG as your dominant tonality, for this may cause a greenish hue. You can utilize this series when lifting and needing to colour correct or neutralize unwanted warmth. Here’s my tip, if you are just getting started on using this series, use 25% of AG -13 in your formula to 75% of N, NB or Intense Neutral. This will allow you to still control while being protected by our dominate series. 

Always remember, that with our NEW MATTE COLLECTION, YOU are in control. Remember to use the hashtags #matteincontrol and #mattebycalura to get featured. It’s ALL about control.
