How to read Majirel shade numbers
Majirel uses L'Oréal's standard notation. The number before the point is the depth (level), from 1 (black) to 10 (lightest blonde). The numbers after the point are the reflects (tones), with the first reflect dominant and the second secondary.
- .1 — ash (neutralises warmth)
- .2 — iridescent
- .3 — gold
- .4 — copper
- .5 — mahogany
- .6 — red
- .8 — mocha
So 6.1 reads as a dark ash blonde (level 6, ash reflect), and 7.43 is a level 7 with a dominant copper and secondary gold reflect. For the full theory, see our guide to hair colour numbering.

Choosing the right Majirel shade
Match the natural base level first, then choose the reflect to add or neutralise warmth. Majirel covers up to 100% white hair: use your target shade alone up to 50% white, and for 50–100% white mix it with an equal part of a same-level basic shade to supply the underlying pigment. The full method is in our grey coverage guide, and developer choice is covered in developer volumes explained.
