Professional guide

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.

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.
