How to Read the Shade Code
The first digit is the level: 1 Brunette, 3 Dark Brown, 4 Brown, 5 Light Brown, 6 Dark Blonde, 7 Blonde, 8 Light Blonde, 9 Very Light Blonde and 10 Platinum Blonde. The digits after the dot show the tone, as given in the Maxima shade names: 1 ash, 2 violet, 3 golden, 4 copper, 5 mahogany, 6 red, 7 sand. A doubled digit means an intense tone, for example 7.44 Intense Copper Blonde or 8.33 Intense Light Golden Blonde. The Natural Intense range uses .0 codes (7.0 Intense Blonde) and Natural Cool uses .01 (7.01 Cool Blonde).
Which Developer to Choose
There is no developer in the box: Maxima Oxi Creme is sold separately, in 1 L at four strengths or in 150 ml for 20, 30 and 40 volume. The dye description gives:
| Desired result | Oxi Creme | Dye : developer | Processing time |

Lightening and After Coloring
Maxima dust-free bleaching powder with argan oil is blue or violet in 0.5 kg and blue or white in 1 kg; the 0.5 kg fast bleaching cream lifts up to 7 tones, according to its description. The powder is mixed in a non-metal bowl with 20, 30 or 40 volume Oxi Creme at a 1:2 ratio (or 1:1.5 if the mix is too runny). The Decolorant dye range, shades 900–913, also has a lightening booster, shade 1000. After coloring, the 500 ml anti-yellow shampoo with silver reflections is for blonde, highlighted, gray or bleached hair, and the 250 ml Maxima solution removes dye stains from the skin.
The dye description lists p-phenylenediamine, resorcinol and ammonia in its composition. Bowls, tint brushes, foil and highlighting caps are in hairdressing and barbering accessories, and care shampoos and masks in professional salon products.
