Schwarzkopf Igora Royal 9‑00 – Extra Light Blonde Natural Extra (60 ml)

The Schwarzkopf Igora Royal 9‑00 is a premium permanent hair colour formulated for those who desire an ultra‑light, natural blonde shade that retains vibrancy and softness. Packaged in a convenient 60 ml tube, this product delivers professional results with minimal effort.

Key Characteristics

• Shade Code: 9‑00 – the lightest level within the Igora Royal range, offering an almost translucent blonde that works beautifully on both natural and previously coloured hair.
• Finish: Natural Extra – a subtle, luminous finish that mimics the look of freshly cut, sun‑kissed strands.
• Volume: 60 ml – ideal for small to medium volumes of hair or for touch‑ups and highlights.
• Formulation Type: Permanent Colour Cream – a creamy base that ensures even distribution and long‑lasting colour.

Innovative Formula Features

The Igora Royal line is built around Schwarzkopf’s “Natural Extra” technology, which focuses on delivering:

• Low‑Impact Colouring: Uses a reduced amount of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide compared to traditional permanent dyes, resulting in gentler processing.
• Enhanced Hair Health: Enriched with Keratin Complex, which helps strengthen the hair shaft during colour application.
• Silk‑Smooth Finish: A proprietary blend of conditioning agents that leave hair feeling silky and manageable after rinsing.

Colour Performance & Longevity

The 9‑00 shade is designed to provide a lasting, natural-looking blonde that resists fading for up to four weeks with proper care. The colour intensity remains stable even when exposed to UV light, thanks to the pigment’s high resistance to oxidation.

Application Instructions

1. Preparation: Wash hair 24 hours before application to allow the scalp to recover from any previous treatments. Avoid using conditioner or leave‑in products on the day of colouring.
2. Mixing Ratio: Combine the dye with the developer in a 1:2 ratio (one part colour, two parts developer). For most users, a 20% developer is sufficient; for deeper roots or darker hair, a 30% developer may be used.
3. Sectioning: Divide hair into four sections to ensure even coverage. Use clips or ties to keep each section separate.
4. Application: Apply the mixture from root to tip using a brush or applicator bottle, ensuring that every strand receives colour.
5. Processing Time: Leave the dye on for 30–45 minutes. Check the colour development at the 30‑minute mark; if a deeper tone is desired, extend processing by an additional 10–15 minutes.
6. Rinse & Condition: Rinse hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with a mild conditioner to lock in moisture and seal the cuticle.

Aftercare Recommendations

• Use colour‑protecting shampoos and conditioners formulated for blondes to maintain vibrancy.
• Avoid hot styling tools immediately after colouring; give hair at least 24 hours before heat exposure.
• Apply a weekly deep‑conditioning mask to counteract any dryness caused by the colour process.
• Limit washing frequency to preserve colour integrity; aim for 2–3 washes per week.

Safety & Precautions

While Schwarzkopf Igora Royal is designed for gentle processing, it is essential to follow safety guidelines:

• Perform a patch test 48 hours before use to rule out allergic reactions.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if accidental contact occurs.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and children.
• If irritation or discomfort arises during application, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional.
