Schwarzkopf Keratin Color Permanent Hair Dye Extra Light Ash Blonde 10.1 — Keratin-Infused, Bond-Enforcing 1-Application Kit

Schwarzkopf Keratin Color 10.1 Extra Light Ash Blonde is a professional-grade permanent hair dye that delivers ash-toned, long-lasting blonde with up to 100% gray coverage and a bond-enforcing system to reduce breakage.

Designed for at-home use, this kit combines a protective pre-color serum, a keratin-enriched color cream, and a restorative post-color conditioner to produce even, multi-dimensional blonde results. The formula lifts up to four levels, tones to a cool ash finish, and aims to maintain hair strength and shine through Schwarzkopf’s 3-step Bond Enforcing System.

How does this color deliver durable, true-to-tone ash blonde?

The color cream is formulated to lift and deposit pigments so you achieve a consistent ash blonde while reducing unwanted warm or brassy tones. The included developer and purple post-color conditioner help lock in tone and neutralize yellowing after processing.

• Permanent dye lifts up to 4 levels for significant lightening.
• Toners and pigments calibrated for an extra light ash blonde result.
• Purple post-color conditioner reduces brassiness for cooler tones.

Will this kit cover gray hair and keep hair healthy?

Yes — the formula is engineered to provide up to 100% gray coverage with even color deposition. The three-step system includes a pre-color serum with Vitamin B6 and collagen, a keratin-infused color cream, and a K-Bond Plex post-color conditioner that work together to reinforce hair structure and reduce combing breakage.

• Pre-color serum protects and preps the hair shaft before coloring.
• Keratin-enriched cream provides pigment while supporting surface strength.
• Post-color K-Bond Plex conditioner restores and helps reduce breakage up to 80% vs untreated hair.

How easy is application for at-home use and what’s in the box?

The kit includes everything needed for one full application and comes with step-by-step instructions suited for home use. Disposable gloves, developer, color cream, pre-color serum, and a post-color purple conditioner make the process straightforward — note that long or very thick hair may require two boxes.

• Complete kit: pre-color serum, developer, color cream, conditioner, gloves, and instructions.
• Simple step sequence: protect, color, condition for optimized results.
• Guidance included for timing to help achieve the intended ash tone.

How does this formula affect hair texture and manageability?

The conditioning steps and keratin infusion are designed to leave hair feeling softer and more resilient, helping maintain natural texture and curl definition while enhancing manageability. Regular color-treated care will extend color vibrancy and preserve the strengthened hair structure delivered by the system.

• Keratin and conditioning agents aim to smooth cuticles for improved shine.
• Pre- and post-treatment helps reduce combing breakage and supports curl pattern retention.
• Recommended routine: use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to prolong results.

Who is this for? This Schwarzkopf Keratin Color 10.1 Extra Light Ash Blonde kit is intended for at-home users seeking a salon-level permanent blonde with cool ash toning and full gray coverage. It’s suitable for all hair types and textures that need color, strength, and reduced breakage; if your hair is thicker or longer than shoulder length, consider using two boxes for full, even coverage from roots to ends.
