Maria Nila builds this shade around a sandy tone rather than a true gold, so it reads as lived-in warmth rather than a yellow cast. If your blonde was toned cool in the chair and has since settled somewhere dull and greyish, this is the shade that puts the sun back into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pigments are cationic basic dyes — Basic Blue 99, Basic Brown 17, Basic Red 76 and Basic Yellow 57. Cationic means positively charged, and that matters: lightened and colour-treated hair carries a more negative surface charge and a more open cuticle than virgin hair, so pigment is drawn hardest to the areas that have been processed most. It is why Maria Nila specifies levels 7 to 10 and notes the effect may not be visible on darker hair — there is no lift in this formula, only deposit. Honey Blonde is one of only two blonde-side shades in the range that carries Basic Brown 17, which is why it settles sandier and slightly deeper than a straight gold toner would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of that sits in a conditioning masque base — argan oil, panthenol, sunflower seed oil and hydrolysed wheat protein — so colour and conditioning happen in the same step. Maria Nila rates the deposit at four to ten washes depending on porosity and starting level. Heavily lightened, porous hair takes it deeply and holds it longer; healthier level 7 hair takes it more gently and releases it sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Active Ingredient(s)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArgan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil):\u003c\/strong\u003e Pressed from the kernel of the Moroccan argan tree. Maria Nila includes it for moisture and frizz control, and in a deposit-only masque it does a second job — a conditioned cuticle lies flatter, and flat cuticle is what makes deposited pigment read as shine instead of as a flat coat of colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5):\u003c\/strong\u003e A humectant that converts to pantothenic acid inside the fibre. It draws and holds water in the cortex, which helps porous lightened hair stay flexible rather than brittle while it carries pigment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Blue 99, Basic Brown 17, Basic Red 76 and Basic Yellow 57:\u003c\/strong\u003e The four cationic dyes that build this sandy blonde. Basic Brown 17 is the depth component — it keeps the yellow and red from reading as brass and holds the tone in sand rather than gold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolysed Wheat Protein:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-molecular-weight protein fragments that fill surface gaps in lightened hair. A smoother surface takes pigment more evenly, which is what keeps porous mid-lengths from patching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModa Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply to towel-dried hair that has genuinely been squeezed out, not just blotted. Water already sitting inside a porous blonde occupies the same sites the pigment needs and dilutes the masque on contact, and the result is a weaker, patchier deposit exactly at the ends where you wanted it most. Squeeze hard through a towel, comb the masque through in sections from mid-length down, and take the roots last — regrowth at the root is the least porous section of a blonde and will grab far less, so it needs the shortest contact time of anywhere on the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot the Right Fit If...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot the right fit if your base sits below a level 7. There is no lift in this formula, so on darker hair a sandy blonde pigment has nothing to show up against. It is also not a grey-coverage product — Maria Nila states plainly that Colour Refresh does not cover grey, and on unpigmented white hair a warm sandy deposit can read stronger and hang on longer than you intended. If you want cool rather than warm, reach for Colour Refresh Cool Cream or Pearl Silver instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShampoo as normal, then towel-dry until the hair is damp rather than wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWearing gloves, work the masque through with a comb or your fingers, saturating mid-lengths and ends first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeave for 3 to 10 minutes — the short end for a hint of warmth, the long end for full sandy depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse with water until it runs clear, then follow with conditioner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Maria Nila","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":49911830479076,"sku":"MN6727","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 ml","offer_id":49911830511844,"sku":"MN3727","price":45.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/2831\/9677\/files\/IMG_cr_3727_honey_blonde_300_ml_1200x1500_838b3cbc-d606-45b4-bfe7-e225b8b1662a.jpg?v=1789820697","url":"https:\/\/www.modasalon.ca\/fr\/products\/maria-nila-colour-refresh-honey-blonde","provider":"Moda Salon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
