Revlon Color Excel Tone On Tone Creme Gel Color 70ml in shade 8.01 Light Natural Ash Blonde is a professional ammonia-free demi-permanent colourant designed for subtle, glossy results. The cream-gel formula deposits tone without lifting natural pigment, giving hair a richer, more reflective finish while preserving its texture and shine. Shade 8.01 is a light blonde with a natural ash base — cool and neutral, ideal for toning down brassiness or refreshing existing blonde colour.

Key features
- Ammonia-free demi-permanent: Adds tone and depth without lifting the natural base, so colour fades softly without a harsh regrowth line.
- Cream-gel texture: Easy to apply at the basin or on dry hair, with controlled flow that minimises drips.
- Glossy finish: Conditioning agents enhance shine and surface smoothness.
- Compatible with low-volume developers: Works with Revlon's dedicated activator for sensitive scalps and gentle processing.
- Mixing ratio: 1:1 with the recommended developer (consult the Revlon Color Excel system).
Shade — 8.01 Light Natural Ash Blonde
Shade 8.01 sits in the cool blonde family. The "8" indicates depth (light blonde); the ".0" denotes a natural primary reflect; the ".1" denotes a secondary ash reflect. Together they produce a soft, slightly cool blonde that counteracts warm yellow or orange tones. Ideal for refreshing previously coloured blondes, neutralising brassiness or adding a discreet ash overlay to natural light-blonde hair.
Who it's for
Designed primarily for use by professional stylists in salon. Suited to existing light blondes, highlighted hair and previously coloured cool tones. Not designed to lift dark hair to blonde — for significant colour change, a permanent lifting product is required first. The demi-permanent format makes it a good option for clients who want the look of colour without long-term commitment.
