What Makes 88/0 Different

This is where pros get strategic 

• “Double natural” (88/0) = extra pigment load
• Compared to 8/0:
  • Stronger gray coverage
  • Richer, fuller result (less sheer)
  • Better for resistant hair

Think of it as:

• 8/0 = soft, natural blonde
• 88/0 = more depth + more control + more coverage

• Leaves hair looking balanced, healthy, and shiny
