Joico numbering system

Joico LumiShine organizes shades as level + reflect letters:

  • Level (1-10): Color depth. 1 = black, 10 = lightest blonde.
  • N = Natural
  • NA = Natural Ash
  • NG = Natural Gold
  • NC = Natural Copper
  • NR = Natural Red

LumiShine uses Argiplex technology (arginine complex) to strengthen hair during coloring. It is permanent color: lifts, deposits, and covers gray with exceptional shine.

Key feature: Most Joico fashion shades combine N + reflect letter (NA, NG, NC), indicating a natural base with added reflect. This gives balanced results without overly pronounced undertones.

LumiShine Permanent Creme Color equivalents in other brands

One shade per level of LumiShine Permanent Creme Color with its closest equivalent in other professional brands of the same type. These are orientative matches calculated by level and reflect: every brand uses its own pigments and bases, so always strand-test when switching.

Joico Color Chart

Everything you need to know

Double letters indicate a reflect combination: NA = Natural + Ash (natural base with ash undertone), NG = Natural + Gold, NC = Natural + Copper, NR = Natural + Red. The N as the first letter ensures a more natural, balanced result compared to a pure reflect shade.

Joico recommends LumiShine Developer: 6% (20vol) for 1-2 levels of lift and gray coverage, 9% (30vol) for 2-3 levels, 12% (40vol) for maximum lift. Use exclusively Joico developer for optimal results.

Argiplex is an arginine-based (natural amino acid) complex that protects and strengthens hair bonds during the chemical process. It acts as a shield during coloring, reducing protein loss. It is conceptually similar to Matrix's Pre-Bonded technology.

Yes. LumiShine offers 100% gray coverage. For resistant gray, adding 50% natural (N) shade to the formula is recommended. Shades with a natural base (NA, NG) already include a natural foundation that aids coverage.
