Koleston Xpress is a fast permanent that processes in 10 minutes, with or without heat. Control-X Technology makes it non-progressive, which helps prevent over-processing, and it also carries a Metal Purifier and ME+ dye technology. Shades mix 1:1 with Welloxon Perfect: 6% (20 vol) for up to 100% gray coverage and up to 1 level of lift, or 9% (30 vol) for up to 2 levels. For a softer gray blend, it mixes 1:2 with Welloxon Perfect Pastel 1.9%. The compact chart runs from 2/ Darkest Brown to 10/ Lightest Blonde, mostly naturals, and each code also has a letter twin, so 7/1 is 7/A and 6/02 is 6/NM.
