Clairol Professional Gray-Blending Color 1AA Black Onyx, 3 oz — Ammonia & Peroxide Free, Moisturizing

Clairol Professional Beautiful Collection Advanced Gray Solution 1AA Black Onyx is a gentle, ammonia- and peroxide-free gray-blending color designed to deliver moisturized, long-lasting coverage without compromising chemically treated hair.

Engineered for stylists and at-home users seeking reliable gray coverage with minimal stress on the hair, this 3 oz formula blends grays and deposits rich black-onyx pigment while leaving strands soft and manageable. The Advanced Gray Solution line emphasizes a low-damage approach—formulated without ammonia or peroxide—so it can be used after relaxers, permanent color services, and other treatments. It’s particularly well suited to textured hair, including curly and coily types, yet remains compatible with all hair structures.

How does this product cover gray hair without harsh chemicals?

The formula for Advanced Gray Solution uses deposit-only color technology that avoids ammonia and peroxide, reducing oxidative lift and preserving hair integrity. Instead of lifting natural pigment, it blends and deposits color to mask gray strands and enhance natural depth.

• Ammonia- and peroxide-free deposition method that colors gray without harsh oxidation.
• Moisturizing base that helps minimize dryness often associated with permanent dyes.
• Designed to work after chemical services because it does not aggressively alter hair's protein structure.

Will this formula work on relaxed, permed, or previously colored hair?

Yes—Advanced Gray Solution was developed to be safe on chemically treated hair. Its gentle deposit-only system and moisturizing formulation reduce the risk of additional damage, making it compatible with relaxed, permed, and previously colored hair when used according to directions.

• Safe for use after relaxers and other smoothing treatments when following timing guidelines.
• Suitable post-permanent color to refresh tone or blend regrowth without aggressive processing.
• Formulated to maintain moisture and manageability on textured and processed hair types.

What results can I expect with shade 1AA Black Onyx?

Shade 1AA Black Onyx provides a deep, neutral black that blends gray while imparting shine and softness. The result is rich, even coverage with a natural-looking finish that complements a wide range of tones and textures.

• Deep black pigment that masks gray and enhances natural depth.
• Even deposit for consistent color from root to tip on most hair types.
• Leaves hair feeling softer and more moisturized compared with typical oxidative dyes.

How should professionals and consumers apply this color for best results?

Follow the product instructions provided by Clairol Professional for mixing ratios, strand testing, and application times to achieve optimal coverage. Stylists should evaluate hair porosity and previous treatments, while at-home users should perform a patch and strand test first.

• Perform a strand test to assess processing time and final tone before full application.
• Apply to clean, detangled hair and monitor processing time closely for uniform results.
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with conditioners or recommended post-color treatments to lock in moisture.

Who is this for: Clairol Professional Beautiful Collection Advanced Gray Solution 1AA Black Onyx is made for stylists and individuals seeking reliable gray blending without the aggressive chemistry of permanent oxidative dyes.
