The numbers on hair dyes represent the colours that are in it. On hair dyes that you get from the salon they have numbers on them from 1 - 10, they are the base or depth, then there is a dot or a slash (. or /) and the numbers after that are the tone of colour. Base or dept is the colour you want to have. # Black # Blue black # Dark brown # Medium brown # Light brown # Dark blonde # Medium blonde # Light blonde # Lighter blonde # Exra light blonde The tone (number after the . or /) is the coolness or warmth of the colour. # Ash # Cool ash # Gold # Red # Mahogany # Violet # Brunetted # Pearl # Soft ash Colours you buy have the same principal but the numbers are just laid out a little differently. You don't really need to remember them because they state the colour and that is more easily remembered. In the salon the stylist needs to know these numbers to make the correct colour.

The numbers on the box signify the shade/color of the dye--if you dye often and you finally find a shade that fits you, you will know which one to get the next time by the number.
