Sheet Coloring

Sheet's coloring collection breaks into three product families. The Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream is the most comprehensive line with the widest shade range; it comes in 120g tubes and is available both standalone and as sets paired with a 100ml developer. The Hair Coloring Cream is a separate line with its own shade codes - 7NB Light Brown and 8.03 Light Yellow Brown are the shades currently in stock - and targets mid-range natural tones. The Magic Speed Color is a faster-acting format, useful when you need shorter processing time.

Knowing which line you are buying from matters because the shade codes, textures, and processing times differ across lines. This page covers all three; the narrower Evinho Absolute-only range has its own dedicated page for reference.

The Hair Coloring Cream in 7NB Light Brown is a level 7 shade with a neutral-beige (NB) undertone. It reads as a medium-to-light natural brown without obvious warmth or coolness - a versatile choice for refreshing faded color or covering gray at a brown-blonde boundary. The 8.03 Light Yellow Brown is a level 8 with a warm golden undertone that adds a honey-warm quality to the result. It works on naturally medium-to-light hair without pre-lightening for the warm-brown effect; on darker bases, the golden tone will appear muted.

Both shades in the Hair Coloring Cream line are standalone tubes requiring a separately purchased developer, unlike the Absolute sets that bundle developer in.

Magic Speed Color is Sheet's fast-processing hair color option. The exact processing window is shorter than a standard 30-35 minute permanent color - it suits quick root touch-ups or situations where chair time is limited. The trade-off is that fast-processing formulas typically deliver slightly less depth and permanence than standard-time formulas; they are best for maintenance applications rather than dramatic shade changes.

Magic Speed Color is a good choice if you use Sheet coloring regularly and need a quick in-between refresh. For a first-time application or a shade change, the Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream's standard processing time gives more reliable results.

The Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream is listed in two ways: as a standalone 120g tube and as a 120g cream plus 100ml developer bundle. The set uses a pre-matched developer volume for each shade, so you get the correct lift without having to source developer separately. If you already have developer at home and know the appropriate volume for your target shade, buying the cream standalone saves cost. If you are starting fresh or want the convenience of a ready-to-mix kit, the set is the simpler path.

The Hair Coloring Cream line (7NB, 8.03) is sold as standalone cream tubes only in this collection, so those shades require a separate developer purchase.

Sheet uses slightly different shade notation across its coloring lines. In the Evinho Absolute range, the number indicates depth (01 = black, 10 = lightest) and the letter suffix indicates tone (N = neutral, G = golden, R = red, CN = cool-neutral, MB = milk brown). In the Hair Coloring Cream line, the number still indicates depth but the suffix NB means neutral-beige, and the decimal code 8.03 means level 8 with a warm (0) natural-golden (.3) tone modifier.

Both systems share the convention that a higher leading number means a lighter result. So 8.03 (Hair Coloring Cream) and 9MB or 10CN (Evinho Absolute) are all lighter than 5N or 6.03, regardless of which line they belong to.

Mix the cream and developer at the 1:1 ratio (for the Absolute sets, the included developer is already sized correctly). Apply to dry, unwashed hair; natural oils buffer the scalp during processing. Section into four quadrants and start at the roots for gray coverage, or at the mid-lengths for a refresh. The standard processing time for the Evinho Absolute and Hair Coloring Cream lines is 30-35 minutes at room temperature. Magic Speed Color processes faster - follow the timing noted on that product's packaging.

Use a plastic bowl and brush; avoid metal tools. Wear gloves. Rinse when a strand test shows even color deposit, then condition. A strand test 24-48 hours before a full application is recommended when trying a shade for the first time.

Permanent color at levels 5-8 covers resistant gray reliably with proper processing time. In the Sheet coloring collection, the 01N Black, 5N Natural Brown, 5G Light Brown, 6.03, and 7NB Light Brown shades are all strong gray-coverage options. Apply to the root area first and let it process for the first 10-15 minutes before pulling color through the lengths for the remainder of the processing time. This keeps the gray-heavy root zone saturated the longest.

The Magic Speed Color can cover gray, but the shorter processing window means coverage may be less complete on very resistant gray. For reliable full coverage on a stubborn gray line, the Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream at standard processing time is the more dependable choice.

Permanent color from the Sheet lines typically holds full depth for four to six weeks before noticeable fade or visible root regrowth. Sulfate-free shampoo reduces dye molecule loss per wash and is the single most effective product swap for extending color life. Cool-water rinses at the end of each shower also slow fade. Warm tones (5G, 8.03) tend to fade to brassy if not maintained; a color-depositing conditioner in a matching tone used once a week can offset warmth fade between full applications.

For root maintenance, apply color only to the regrowth zone for the first 20 minutes of processing, then blend through lengths for the last 10-15 minutes to freshen the shade without over-processing mid-shaft and ends.
