Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Permanent Hair Color 8-1 Light Blonde Cendre, 60ml — Cool Ash Tone & Strong Coverage

Igora Royal 8-1 Light Blonde Cendre from Schwarzkopf Professional is a salon-grade permanent hair color formulated for precise tone control and even results.

Designed for professional and at-home touch-ups, the 60ml tube size works for single applications or blending with developers for custom formulations.

How does this shade achieve a cool cendre blonde?

The 8-1 level is a light blonde base with ash/cendre reflectors to neutralize warm undertones. Pigment selection in the Igora Royal range emphasizes cool molecules that soften yellow and brassy tones without muddying the result. For best outcome, assess the starting level and pre-lighten if necessary to reach the desired coolness.

• Level 8 base with ash/cendre reflectors for cool tone
• Formulated to counteract warm undertones and brassiness
• Works best on hair lifted to pale blonde or natural light blondes

Will it cover previous color or grey hair effectively?

Igora Royal is a permanent dye designed for dependable coverage, including color correction and grey blending. Coverage performance depends on hair porosity and the amount of grey; mixing ratios and processing times should follow Schwarzkopf Professional guidelines for optimal results. For heavy or resistant grey, consultation with a stylist is recommended to choose the right developer strength.

• Permanent formula intended for long-lasting pigmentation
• Good coverage on regrowth and light-grey hair when used correctly
• Adjust developer volume for stubborn greys or previously colored hair

How do I use the 60ml tube for a single application?

The 60ml tube contains a concentrated color paste suitable for one full-head touch-up on shorter hair or partial use for longer hair. Mix with the recommended developer at the ratio specified by Schwarzkopf Professional, apply evenly from roots to tips, and follow processing time instructions. Always perform a strand test and patch test before full application to check compatibility and expected result.

• Mix with the correct developer volume at the brand-specified ratio
• Perform Strand and Patch tests prior to full application
• Use full tube for short to medium lengths; use partial tube for blending

What finish and hair condition can I expect after coloring?

After processing, the formula aims to equalize tone while leaving hair with enhanced surface reflectivity and a fortified feel. Users often notice a smoother-looking strand surface and increased shine compared with untreated hair. For best condition, follow with a professional aftercare system designed for color-treated hair.

• Color equalization for uniform shade from roots to ends
• Designed to leave hair looking glossy with improved surface feel
• Pair with color-safe conditioner or mask to maintain vibrancy
