Liquorice
Espresso depth, calibrated against pulled warmth.
Very dark espresso brown, nearly black with warm brown undertones held in check.
Why this shade
Brunettes one shade above true black are the hardest to keep clean — they fade copper before they fade light. Liquorice sits at level 3 with a true-neutral anchor, so refresh services hold their depth without the brassy mid-band that betrays a fade.
Who it's for
The natural brunette who reads "almost black" but doesn't want the harshness of a level 1. The client whose box-dyed brown has oxidised three shades warmer than promised. The grey-blending client who needs a deep base that won't pull red.
- Natural level-3 brunettes refreshing depth between cuts
- Clients lifting away from a warm pulled box-dye
- Up to 30% grey blending on a dark natural base
In the chair
Apply neat from root to tip on virgin or refresh services. For corrective fade work, run the formula through midshafts and ends only first, then refresh roots in the last 5 minutes. The neutral anchor will cancel the orange fade band before adding new depth.
- Mids-and-ends first on corrective fade refreshes
- Roots in the final 5 minutes for level uniformity
- Pair with 5 vol activator for the gentlest demi deposit
Cool down a stubborn warm pull: drop in 10–15% 6NA Urban Ash. The ash will neutralise residual orange without dragging the depth down a full level.
