# When taking lightened hair back to darker shade, can we simply add the PURE PIGMENT PLUS shades into the final color formula instead of using the 2 step repigmentizing process?

## For optimum results and longevity of color, framesi typical recommends repigmentizing formulas for tint backs within a 2 step process.

However, if there is warmth present in the hair, or during lowlighting, the addition of red and gold colors to the final color formula may be utilized to achieve desired results in one step. Refer to the chart below for instructions on adding PURE PIGMENT PLUS fillers directly to your color formula:
