Schwarzkopf - Igora Royal Permanent Hair Color 7-1 Medium

This professional permanent hair dye from Schwarzkopf Professional — Igora Royal in shade 7-1 Medium Ash Blonde — is formulated for stylists and experienced home colorists who want a predictable, salon-quality ash blonde result. The compact 2.1 oz (60 g) tube is designed for single applications or touch-ups and works with the Igora Royal developer system for controlled lift, tone, and longevity. The formula emphasizes even pigment distribution and industry-standard color stability so you can achieve neutralized warmth without excessive brassiness.

How does Igora Royal 7-1 create an ash blonde tone?

Igora Royal combines carefully calibrated pigments to neutralize red and orange undertones that appear during lifting. The 7-1 shade is positioned on the level 7 scale for medium blonde with ash (cool) reflect, yielding a subdued, natural-looking blonde rather than a warm or golden finish.

• Medium blonde base with ash reflect for cooler undertones.
• Pigment blend designed to counteract warmth during lift.
• Works with developer strengths to control lift and tone.
• Even pigment delivery for consistent salon results.

What developer strength should I use with this 2.1 oz tube?

Developer choice depends on whether you’re refreshing color, covering gray, or lifting natural hair. Low-volume developers maintain existing levels, while higher volumes provide more lift; always follow Schwarzkopf Professional guidelines and perform a strand test first.

• Use 10 vol for tone-on-tone or minimal lift.
• 20 vol is commonly used for single-level lift and gray coverage.
• 30 vol may be selected for two-level lift with careful monitoring.
• Perform a strand test to confirm timing and final shade.

How long does the color last and how should I maintain it?

As a permanent color, Igora Royal bonds pigment into the hair structure for long-lasting shade retention. Longevity depends on hair porosity, washing frequency, and aftercare; using color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and periodic color-refresh treatments will extend vibrancy.

• Expect permanent pigment stability between salon appointments.
• Color-safe shampoos and conditioners help minimize fade.
• Limit heat styling and use UV protection to reduce tone shifting.
• Professional glosses or tone refreshers revive ash reflect as needed.

Is this shade suitable for gray coverage and touch-ups?

Igora Royal is formulated to provide reliable gray blending and coverage when matched with the appropriate developer and technique. For heavy or resistant gray, choose a formulation and developer strength suited for full coverage and consult Schwarzkopf’s mixing charts for optimal results.

• Effective for blending and covering varying amounts of gray hair.
• Follow manufacturer mixing ratios and application times for best results.
• Use as a single-dose tube for root touch-ups or small coverage jobs.
• Professional application ensures even, predictable results.
