With these shades, there is an increase in intensity. While this might not be as visually pronounced at level 5, it becomes more evident in the lighter versions due to the diminishing depth in the background portion.

Note: Keep in mind that as the depth decreases, the tone can become more dominant. These are true, rich, copper shades that can be used on their own.

Pro Tip: They can also be mixed with the GlossX Red RR|.66 shades to achieve a copper-red tone or, by adjusting the ratio, create a red-copper. Additionally, they can be combined with GlossX Warm Brown WB|.73 shades to create a variety of creative formulations.

Another Pro Tip: In hair color correction, these shades can be used as a "pre-pigmentizing" formula in a "tint back," mixed as a glaze formula.

Now, let’s address the “Double Copper” [7.44|CC] – GlossX Intense Copper.

This is where the ratio of background to tone makes a significant impact, which applies to all “double-numbered” hair color shades.

Note: In this formula, the background depth is reduced to only 25%, while the tone is increased to 75%, resulting in an intense shade. Even when cross-mixed with a natural shade in equal parts, you’ll still achieve an intense version of this color.

This shade is ideal for achieving a “high drama” or “high contrast” result.

Note: This shade can also be mixed with the GlossX Red RR|.66, GlossX Mahogany families M|.5 and GlossX Mahogany Red MR|.56 to create a variety of “high drama” color combinations.

I'm confident you'll find a place for this shade in your creative hair color toolbox.

No matter how you use these beautiful shades from either of these GlossX families, you can rest assured that you are working with one of the most accurately formulated and highest quality hair color brands on the market, that remains affordable for any colorist, at any level.
