Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to add extra depth to your home-colouring like your hairdresser does? With NATURIGIN hair colours it is! Try mixing hair color shades!
Amanda from the blog Organic Bunny, mixed a Light Chocolate Brown 5.0 with 30 % Dark Coffee Brown – something that you can also do at home!
Why would I be mixing hair color shades, you might ask? First of all you will get a more individual look by mixing hair colours. Mixing the colours will also give you different colour shades in your hair and give your hair a lot more depth than if you stick with one colour only.
When choosing which colours to mix for your at-home colouring there are some important things to keep in mind:
You will get the best result if you pick shades that complement each other, rather than two totally opposite shades. This could for example be Extreme Ash Blonde 11.2 and Extreme Blonde 11.0.
A red shade and a brown shade would highlight each other and produce a rich, deep auburn colour. Black and blonde dyes should be avoided, as they are both very dominant colours that do not mix well
When mixing hair color shades of 2 blonde colours at different levels remember that the higher level colour will lighten while the lower level will add depth – helping to avoid brassiness
When mixing hair color shades you should pour them in a clean bowl and make sure they are mixed thoroughly before applying to the hair. You can either return the mixed colour to the Activator bottle or apply the hair colour directly from the bowl with a tint brush.

Be your own hair artist and play mix and match with NATURIGIN hair colours!
Why did she mix those exact two colours?
- When you mix a Light chocolate brown 5.0 with 30% of Dark coffee brown 3.0 your goal is to give the colour some depth when you make it a 30% darker.
- If you mix half and half you will get a colour 4.0
Why should you be mixing hair color shades?
- To achieve different shades of colours
- Customize your colour to fit your individuality
- Give the hair depth
How to choose colours:
- It is best to pick shades that complement each other, when mixing hair color shades, rather than two totally opposite shades
- A red shade and a brown shade would highlight each other and produce a rich, deep auburn colour. Black and blonde dyes should be avoided, as they are both very dominant colours that do not mix well
- If you want to mix blonde colours: When mixing 2 colours at different levels, the higher level colour will lighten while the lower level will add depth-helping to avoid brassiness
Guideline when mixing hair color shades:
- Make sure you mix them both very well in a clean bowl – mix it thoroughly!
- For best result, do not wash your hair for 24 hours after dyeing
I want to mix a medium blonde and medium auburn wat clor would it turn out to be
Hi Maha
Thank you for your question. I am not exactly sure which colour you mean when you write auburn? If you mix a natural medium blond with a red or cobber red, you will simply get a more light version of the red. So the red tones won’t shine through as much.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi my name is josie n I have this question for you?
Hi I wanted to know what color results would I get if I mixes a number 8 n which is a light blond with an number 9 n it’s a lighter blonde color what would the end result be on the color ? I’m wanting to dye that mixture color in all my hair over my highlights that I just recently had gotten because my base the hair stylist gave me is to dark I think because she used a intense ash blonde on my hair n my base looks darker than I usually get have it? Do I did do my hair with the hair dyes I’m implying about but a color special did it for me n she mix the exact same colors I’m implying or referring to u n I really liked the hair color on it n I had highlights on my hair as well when the color specialist did my hair n she used all neutral colors of blonde but it did take away my blonde framing my face but I can always just get the highlights framed around my face with blonde to cover n camouflage my gray hair though. But I wanted to mix these hair colors at home n the brand is provana chromesilk n there developer as well a 20 volume too n a toner by Wella the T18 the violent toner but do I dye my hair or put bleach out my roots even though I have highlights in my hair because I’m about maybe 25/30 percent gray but all my grays are in my frontal crown area ok n that’s why I have heights of blonde framing my face so it can camouflage my gray do there not noticeable to see but my stylist say I need to use a darker base to cover my grays ? I disagree with her because I have had my base color light with my highlights n it was the only time I really loved my highlights because my hair looked like a dishwasher blonde n I loved it do I know that it can be lighter . So I wanted to try doing it myself but how long should I leave the toner on my hair for ? Until I see the color look as I want it to be? Or is there a set time in leaving the toner on for? So before doing this to my hair I think I may need to bleach my roots n then wash out the bleach n then dry my hair n then do the haircut n then put the toner on after rinsing out the hair dye from my hair n then out the tone on my hair to balance it colors right? Well write me back
Thank you
Josie

Hi i want to mix 9 Natural light blonde with 10.2 light ash blonde as used 9 blonde firstand it went too gold so then used 10.2 ash blonde and it has gone too light on top so thought a 10.2 and 9 mixed might give me a toned down version.
Hi Julie
Sorry to hear that the colours didn’t give you the desired result. You wrote that 10.2 is too light on top – how about the rest of the hair? It could be that you left the colour in a bit too long on the top.
We don’t have any experience with people mixing those two colours, but I don’t think it will be a problem, so if you think that will give you the exact colour you want, then you should try it 🙂 But we can’t guarantee anything!

If I mixed 1/2 7.4 & 1/2 9.0 will I just get a lighter version of the copper blonde? Could I add an inch or 2 of 6.66 with 6%? Or will it look more red than copper then? Thanks
Hi Sabrina
You can definitely try and mix 7.4 and 9.0, and yes, the result will probably be lighter if you add the 9.0. We haven’t tried this combination before, so we can’t guarantee anything, but we would love to see the result if you try it. In regards to the 6.66, we don’t have this colour in our selection, we only have a 6.0, so here I unfortunately can’t help you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

What can I mix this wish to cover my 100 grey roots?
Hi what colour should I use if my hair was originally bleached blonde then I dyed it with a dark beige blonde to darken it then I dyed it with a cool light brwon and my hair is orange tint at roots and all the ends are a greenish brown
It is very difficult to go from red to blonde as it has very stainful pigments. Therefore one need to know the right tone to use to get rid of the red completely.

Yes it is permanent, and it covers up to 100 % grey hair.
Normally the colour works 30-45 min. in the hair – the time varies depending on which shade you use 🙂
