Super Sync's new and improved formula with super protection and super coverage is replacing SoColor Sync. The formula features a new bond-protecting concentrate (citric acid and glycine) for instant fiber protection and 2x more shine. As well as this there is increased grey coverage allowing you to achieve up to 75% grey coverage using the NN shades and 50% coverage on all other shades using only 10 Volume developer.
Our NN shades provide up to 75% grey coverage. The rest of our palette provides up to 50% grey coverage. Both can be achieved using only 10 Volume matrix Cream Developer.

Bonding benefits are immediate after one use. Super Sync helps protect the di-sulfide (strong) bonds during the hair colouring service while improving detangling and smoothing benefits.
Yes.
To cover grey means to minimize the contrast between natural hair and grey hair. To what degree that contrast is minimized is the difference between coverage that is translucent to coverage that is opaque and everything in-between.
- Use NN, NNA and NNG shades for up to 75% coverage
- Use N shades and other shades for the Neutrals and Warms collections for up to 50% coverage
- Shades in the Reflects collection will provide translucent coverage to coloured coverage depending on their level of deposit
- Shades in the Cools collection will provide no coverage to translucent coverage

No, Tonal Control Pre-Bonded shades do not contain direct dyes. The colour that the shade is as it comes out of the tube is its bulk colour. Bulk colour is purely aesthetic and does not have any effect on the shade's performance or result.
Apply to dry or damp, towel-dried hair using a bowl and brush or applicator bottle. Allow to process for 20 minutes at room temperature.
We recommend applying to dry or damp hair for best results.
While there may be some residual dyes that could continue to process beyond the 20-minute mark, most will have developed by that point. Exceeding the 20-minute recommended timing could lead to darker than desired results. Conversely, removing before the 20-minute recommended timing could lead to pre-mature fading.
Unlike some toners on the market that can look dark very quickly, Tonal Control Pre-Bonded shades will gradually deepen over time as they process. This can help prevent rinsing too soon for fear that the toner has 'grabbed' too dark, too quickly.
No, all shades have been validated for use after processing for 20 minutes at room temperature.
While certain shades might have an effect on grey hair depending on level and tone, a better option for grey blending is Super Sync Pre-Bonded.
