Step 1 of 6

Your shade goal

Tell us what shade you want to try — the name, product, or formula from your source. We check it against your hair before you mix.

Where did you find this shade?

The name on the post, box, caption, saved note, or photo album.

Pick the closest family. Your Color Read is more accurate when this matches your actual goal.

TikTok, Reel, product page, Pinterest pin, or any saved source with the formula.

Formula helper

Fill in what you know. Skip anything the reference does not mention — partial is fine.

Anything the post says — ratios, warnings, captions. Saved with your formula in your Color Receipt.

Used to send your Color Receipt and your iOS app link. Never shared.

Helps us reach more people asking the same dye-day questions.
