Majirel Color Chart: all 74 permanent shades

Q: What mixing ratio does Majirel use?

1:1.5 — for every 50 ml of color, 75 ml of L'Oréal cream developer. It is the line's signature versus the 1:1 of INOA or Igora Royal: the mix is more fluid and covers more surface per tube.

Q: What developer should I use with Majirel for gray coverage?

20 vol (6%) and 35 minutes is the coverage standard. Over 70% gray, reinforce with the natural base of the same level (.0 background). To lift 2-3 levels go up to 30 vol; for tone-on-tone drop to 10 vol.

Q: When should I choose Majirel vs INOA?

Same numbering, different chemistry. Majirel (ammonia) delivers maximum lift and the widest chart. INOA (ammonia-free, oil base) delivers absolute scalp comfort and zero smell. If the client is sensitive or rejects the smell, switch to the INOA chart ; if the service needs power, Majirel.

Q: Are Majirel and Dia interchangeable?

No. Majirel is permanent: it lifts, covers gray 100%, and lasts until it grows out. Dia is demi-permanent: deposit only, gray blending, fades over 20-25 washes. A 6.3 in each targets the same tone, but the service is different — see the Dia chart .

Majirel is L'Oréal Professionnel's classic permanent and one of the most-formulated charts in salons for decades: 100% gray coverage, up to 3 levels of lift, and the widest reflect range in the house. Here are its 74 shades organized by level.

Majirel's signature mix is 1:1.5 — 50 ml of color with 75 ml of L'Oréal developer (20 vol standard for gray, 30 vol to lift 2-3 levels). Processing time: 35 minutes.

Within the house you have two sisters for other jobs: INOA for ammonia-free permanent, and Dia when the service calls for demi-permanent. The full range lives in the L'Oréal chart.

Professional guide

How to read a Majirel shade

Majirel uses L'Oréal's dot notation: 6.3 = level 6 (dark blonde), golden reflect.

Level (1-10): depth, from black to lightest blonde.
Reflect: .1 ash, .2 iridescent, .3 gold, .4 copper, .5 mahogany, .6 red, .7 matte, .8 mocha.
Double reflect: the first digit rules — 8.34 is gold with a copper nuance.

The system matches the universal standard, which makes Majirel the usual reference when translating shades between brands. The family variants (Majirel Cool Cover for cool bases, Majirouge for intense reds, High Lift for maximum lightening) follow the same numbering logic.
