Cool, pale, pearly blonde with reliable, salon-quality results. Paul Mitchell Color XG in 10.81 / 10PA is a professional permanent cream colour that's true to tone and resistant to fading. Shade 10PA is "Pearl Ash", a lightest pearl-ash blonde: a very pale, cool, pearly, ashy tone that keeps high-lift and light blonde looking clean, cool and anti-brassy rather than warm or yellow. It gives up to 100% grey coverage and even, predictable results from roots to ends, which is exactly why Color XG is trusted in salons worldwide.
What it does for your hair
Shade 10.81 sits at depth 10 (the lightest blonde) with a pearl/ash (.8) primary reflect and an ash (.1) secondary, both cool tones, which is what the "PA" (Pearl Ash) tells you. That makes it a properly cool, anti-warmth shade: the pearl gives a soft, luminous, pearly nuance while the ash keeps it clean and counters yellow, so instead of a warm or golden blonde, you get a cool, pale, sophisticated pearl-ash. As a permanent colour, it deposits rich, true, long-lasting colour that resists fading, covers up to 100% of grey, and gives even, predictable results along the whole length. It's a lovely choice for cool, high-lift and pearly blonde looks.
How to use it
For professional use only. Carry out an allergy alert test at least 48 hours before every application (see below). Mix with the appropriate Paul Mitchell developer following the manufacturer's ratio, apply to dry, unwashed hair, and process for the recommended time, then rinse, shampoo and condition. As a cool, ash-based shade, keep it looking fresh with colour-safe care and, where needed, gentle purple/silver toning to hold the cool tone, and avoid warm-refresh products.
Who it's for
This one's for anyone wanting a very light, cool, pearly-ash blonde, whether that's a high-lift cool blonde, keeping pale blonde free of yellow, or clean, cool grey coverage.
