Chrome is the ammonia-free, high-gloss demi-permanent creme in the Vero K-PAK family. It mixes 1 part color to 2 parts Vero K-PAK Chrome Activator Creme Developer, the only developer made for it. Timing follows the service. Enhancing natural color takes 20 minutes with no heat. Toning pre-lightened hair takes 5 to 20 minutes. Deeper results, resistant hair, gray blending and reds get 15 minutes under a pre-heated dryer with a cap, then 5 minutes to cool. Clear Gloss adds shine in 20 minutes. Codes put the series letter first, then the level, so N9 is natural level 9.
