Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Yes… and it’s where things get really fun. Think of your Hair Colour like a wardrobe. You can wear the full outfit exactly as it comes or you can style it your way. Tweak, soften, dial it up. That’s exactly what mixing Hair Colour lets you do.
Our range is designed to work beautifully on its own, but it’s also completely customisable. No rigid “one box only” rules here. You can squeeze what you need, reseal the rest, and create your own little Colour cocktail whenever the mood strikes.
Why Mix Two Hair Colours?
Because sometimes one Shade is almost right and “almost” just doesn’t cut it.
You might want to:
Land perfectly between two Shades.
Soften a strong reflect (too Gold, too Copper, too Ash).
Add a hint of pigment boost without fully committing.
Create something that simply doesn’t exist on the shelf.
Or… you just can’t choose
Mixing gives you that in-between magic. Controlled, intentional, very you.
But before you start mixing, a little strategy makes all the difference. Understanding undertones, reflects, and ratios is where great Colour lives.
Keep it simple with two golden rules:
Rule 1: Start With The Right Colour Pairing
There are two simple ways to approach your mix, depending on the result you want.
Option A: Natural + Reflect
Start with a Natural Shade to set your base (how Light or Dark your Colour will be), then add a reflect to shape the tone.
Example: 7 Medium Blonde + 7.3 Golden Blonde
The 7.3 adds Warmth without going overly Golden.
Perfect if you want:
Grey coverage
A soft, natural finish
That “my Hair, but better” result
Example: 7 Medium Blonde + 7.1 Ash Blonde
The 7.1 softly Cools down Warmth and softens brassiness for a more neutral finish.
Perfect if you want:
Soothe Warmth
A Cooler, muted Blonde finish
A balanced Colour without the full intensity of Ash
Option B: Blend Between Two Shades
If one Shade feels too light and the other too dark, you can meet in the middle.
Mixing equal parts creates a Shade right between the two.
Example:
7.1 Ash Blonde + 9.1 Very Light Ash Blonde creates a custom 8.1 Ash Blonde
7.46 Rich Copper Red + 8.44 Intense Copper Blonde balances depth and brightness
Rule 2: Keep Your Colours On The Same Side
Don’t mix Warm and Cool reflects (like Gold + Ash) — they’ll cancel each other out and leave you with a murky greenish hue.
Keep your Colour Shades within the same family:
Warm with Warm = glowing, rich, Golden
Cool with Cool = soft, smoky, neutralised
The only small exceptions:
Beige + Gold (soft, creamy blend)
Plum/Mahogany + Violet (they play nicely together)
How To Build Your Custom Colour
1. Start With Your Primary Colour
This is your base Shade — the one that speaks to you most.
Example: You’re drawn to 8.44 Intense Copper Blonde, but want to soften it. That’s your Primary.
2. Add Your Secondary Colour
This is your adjuster — the Shade that shifts the Tone, deepens or lightens the base, or dials up (or down) the reflect.
Use your Secondary to:
Darken — choose a deeper Shade
Lighten — add a Lighter Shade
Cool down — go Ash, Beige or Silver
Warm up — try Gold, Copper, or Chocolate
Neutralise or soften — mix with a Natural Shade
How To Get The Right Ratio
Let your Primary Colour lead the way, then adjust with your Secondary based on how subtle or strong you want the shift.
¾ + ¼ = Primary dominant, subtle secondary influence
½ + ½ = Balanced blend, equal influence from both Shades
Example: ¾ 6 Dark Blonde + ¼ 6.22 Intense Violet = Dark Blonde with a violet kiss.
Understanding Undertones
Think of undertones as the personality of your Hair Colour.
Natural (Neutral) Undertones

Choosing Your Developer
When you’re mixing two Shades, choosing your developer can feel like the trickiest part. The key is to first know what you’re aiming for.
Step 1: Work Out Your Target Colour
This is easiest when mixing a ½ + ½ ratio, as the result sits directly between the two levels.
Example: ½ 7 Medium Blonde + ½ 9 Light Blonde = Level 8 Blonde
Step 2: Match Your Lift Requirement
Once you know your target level, compare it to your natural base.
Example: If your regrowth is Level 5 Light Brown and you want to reach Level 8, you need to lift 3 levels. Use a 30 Volume Developer
TIP: When one Colour is more dominant, use the lighter Shade as your guide for the final result.
Example: ¾ 9.3 Very Light Golden Blonde + ¼ 8.44 Intense Copper Blonde = Level 9.
Here is a quick Developer guide:
No lift or going darker (no grey coverage needed): No Lift Developer
Lightening 1–2 levels or covering up to 50% grey: 20 Volume Developer
Lightening 3 levels: 30 Volume Developer
Lightening 4 levels: 40 Volume Developer
