Majirel shade families
Majirel is organised into distinct shade families, each designed for a specific result. Knowing which family you need makes shade selection significantly faster in a busy salon environment.
- Naturals (N) — the workhorse range for root-to-tip coverage, depth changes and everyday permanent colour. Covers shades 1 through 10 across warm and neutral bases.
- Iridescent (I) and Gold (G) — warm golden and amber reflections; popular for brunettes looking for dimension without going cool.
- Ash (A) and Mocha (Mh) — cool, grey-reducing tones used for neutralising brassiness and refreshing depth on faded colour.
- Copper (C) and Red (R) — vivid copper and red tones with Majirel's characteristic longevity; reds that stay red through multiple washes.
- Majirel Cool Cover — a dedicated grey-coverage sub-line built for resistant whites. Gives a cooler, more natural-looking result on stubborn grey than standard Majirel naturals.
- Majirel High Lift — for lifting dark natural bases up to 4 levels in one step; designed for use with 12% (40 vol) developer only.
- Majimix — pure intermixing shades (0.x) for adjusting tone and warmth within the Majirel system without adding depth.
Why stylists still choose Majirel
Majirel uses L'Oréal's Ionène G + incell technology, which conditions the hair fibre during colour processing. The result is colour that delivers strong pigment deposit while leaving the hair in reasonable condition — more important when clients are coming in regularly for root services. It is a strong fit for classic salon colour services, root work, depth changes and reliable white hair coverage. If you already know Majirel shades, this page is designed to help you get straight to the product range without wading through generic marketplace clutter.
Which developer to use with Majirel
Majirel is mixed 1:1.5 (colour : developer) as standard. The developer strength you choose depends on the service:
- 1.5% / 5 vol — tone-on-tone, no lift. Use for refreshing depth or adding tone to pre-lightened hair.
- 3% / 10 vol — 1 level of lift; best for grey coverage without any lightening effect. The standard for full coverage root services on natural bases.
- 6% / 20 vol — 1–2 levels of lift; the default for most permanent colour services where moderate lightening is wanted alongside coverage.
- 9% / 30 vol — 2–3 levels of lift; use when more significant lightening is needed in a single pass.
- 12% / 40 vol — Majirel High Lift only. Do not use with standard Majirel shades at this strength.
We stock L'Oréal Crème Oxydant developers in all strengths to complete the service.
Majirel vs the demi-permanent L'Oréal ranges
If you want permanent colour and stronger coverage, Majirel is usually the right place to start. If your goal is gloss, tonal refinement or refreshing sensitised lengths, look instead at Dia Light or Dia Richesse. We also stock Dia Color for a newer demi-permanent gloss option.
Frequently asked questions
What is Majirel hair colour?
Majirel is L'Oréal Professionnel's flagship permanent colour range. It uses the Ionène G + incell conditioning system to deliver rich, long-lasting pigment alongside a level of hair protection uncommon in standard permanent colour. It covers more than 100 shades spanning naturals, reds, coppers, iridescents and specialist lines including Cool Cover and High Lift.
How long does Majirel hair colour last?
As a permanent colour, Majirel does not wash out. The vibrancy fades gradually — most clients see noticeable fading around weeks 6–8 for vivid shades (reds and coppers fade fastest) and later for natural and ash tones. Root regrowth is the usual trigger for rebooking, not colour fade.
Can you mix Majirel with other L'Oréal colour ranges?
Majirel is not designed to be mixed with Dia Light or Dia Richesse — they use different developer ratios and chemistry. Within the Majirel system, you can mix any two Majirel shades, or use Majimix 0.x tones to adjust warmth and tone while controlling final depth.
Where can I buy Majirel in the UK?
Beauty Hair stocks the full Majirel range with UK dispatch. We supply salons and professional colourists directly — no minimum order.
