Absolutes for mature hair seeking 100% coverage

In Igora's classic color chart, there is variety for everyone, from the most cautious to the most daring, and, as we have already said, one of the things we like most about the brand (besides durability) is that it doesn't deceive: the shade you choose is the one you will see as the final result.

Ready to feel the brand's energy and be the colorist you want to be?

The Absolutes. 

Pen and paper if you haven't heard of them yet. These shades are specially designed to cover white and gray hair, with an enriched pro-age formula, which means that while achieving the desired color, it helps combat the signs of aging (lack of elasticity or shine, rough and brittle texture...) leaving hair soft and shiny.

Aimed at lighter bases, between shades 7 and 9, they provide trendy tones from cool beige to brown or coppery.

Highlifts and other specialties

IGORA ROYAL Highlifts 12-0 super-lightening coloration Natural Super-Lightener.

Super-lightening coloration lightens up to 4-5 levels and contains integrated Fibrebond Technology.

As stated on the package: "IGORA ROYAL Highlifts is the first super-lightening color with Fibre Bond Technology* integrated into the color cream. During the lightening process, IGORA ROYAL's High Definition Technology and Fibre Bond Technology simultaneously lighten and protect to create cool pigment combinations resulting in fascinating silver blondes". The 10- series is formulated with a higher concentration of pigments to lighten up to 4 levels on a base 7 and allows for a 1:1 mix. The 12- series achieves up to 5 levels of lightening on a base 6 or lighter with a 1:2 mixing ratio.

"Specialities" include IGORA ROYAL Fashion dyes, for the trendiest and boldest highlights.

Another plus: the IGORA color chart comes in sustainable packaging

Another highlight of the brand is its commitment to sustainability to reduce its global footprint with packaging that maximizes the amount of recycled materials, raising it to 100% for the tube and cap and up to 92% for the box.
Up to 100% gray hair coverage with great color intensity
Let's get technical: IGORA ROYAL contains a high-definition pigment matrix which provides a precise color direction, great intensity, maximum coverage, and those color chart-true results we've been talking about.

Other ingredients called vehicular lipids are what maximize pigment penetration and seal the color, protecting intensity and maintaining a beautiful look for longer.
