About the Star
The color star shows the positioning of primary and secondary colors. The placement of brown in the middle of the color star illustrates the result of combining two colors directly opposite each other on the color star. To dull an unwanted shade, the antagonist color must be used.
(Example: To dull a bright red, use it's antagonist green and vice versa)
Target Level Formula (for lighting only)
1. What is the natural Level (NL)?
1. What is the Desired Level (DL)?

14 - 5 = Target Level
9 = Target Level
To achieve a desired level of 7 on level 5 natural hair a level 9 color must be used.
*If target level answer is greater than 10, you must first pre-lighten.
