Bremod Hair Colour Guide: Shades, Oxidant and How to Use It
Nov
Short answer: Bremod colour creams are mixed 1:1 with an oxidant. The number before the dot is how light the shade is; the numbers after it are the tone (ash shades cancel brassiness). Use 6% to deposit colour and cover greys, 9% for a little lift and 12% for more lift. Cool blonde shades such as 8.17 Milk Tea Ash need hair pre-lightened to level 8–9. Always do a 48-hour patch test.
What the shade numbers mean
Most professional colours, Bremod included, use a level and tone system. The first number is the depth, from 1 (black) to 10 (lightest blonde). The digits after the dot are the tone, such as ash or brown. The exact tone codes vary by brand, so always check the shade on the tube or the colour chart.

Which oxidant strength?
| Oxidant | Use it for |
|---|---|
| 6% | Depositing colour on the same level or darker, and covering greys |
| 9% | Standard colour with about 2 levels of lift |
| 12% | Maximum lift with high-lift blonde shades; harsher on hair and scalp |
If your hair is dark and you want a light cool shade, colour alone will not get there: lighten first with bleaching powder, then tone with the shade.
How to colour at home
- 48 hours before: do an allergy patch test behind the ear with a little colour. If you get redness, itching or swelling, do not use it.
- Do a strand test on a hidden section to check the result and timing.
- Wear gloves. Mix colour and oxidant 1:1 in a non-metal bowl.
- Apply to dry, unwashed hair 2–3 cm from the scalp to the ends; leave 20–25 minutes.
- Apply to the roots and leave 10–15 minutes more.
- Rinse until the water runs clear, then use a colour-safe conditioner.
Safety
- Never use on a sensitive, irritated or broken scalp, or on eyebrows or eyelashes.
- Avoid the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water.
- If you have reacted to hair dye before, do not use it.
- Ventilate the room, especially with 12% oxidant.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my milk tea ash turn out dark?
The base was too dark. Light ash shades need hair pre-lightened to level 8–9.
Can I reuse mixed colour?
No. Mix only what you need and throw away leftovers.
Does Bremod cover grey hair?
Yes; use 6% oxidant and a shade close to your natural level.
