TONAL GUIDE 1
In life, in love, and most importantly, in hair color it is all about expectations! While hair color is all about creativity and creating beautiful art, a hair colorist has to know what to expect from a tube of hair color. PRAVANA offers a wide tonal variety of permanent creme hair
color shades, ammonia-free demi-permanent hair color options, and an extensive collection of semi-permanent colors.
Knowing what you can expect from any one tube of color is an
important key to being able to successfully create any art that you can imagine.

Understanding the base tone or tonal direction of a color is vitally important. Once you know what a color is truly made of, you will be able to formulate properly to get the absolute best results with PRAVANA color.
Understanding the tones in a color is only half the battle.
Every formulation must start with consideration of existing
tones in the hair. Use this Underlying Pigment Chart to identify
the level and the underlying pigment of the hair you are coloring.
