Sheet Coloring Cream Guide: Shades, Kits, and Application
Sheet's coloring cream range contains two sub-lines: the standard Hair Coloring Cream and the Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream. Both are 120g permanent color creams, but the Evinho adds conditioning agents for softer post-color texture. Some shades are sold as bundled kits with 100ml oxidizer included. This guide walks through the available shades, how to choose between standalone cream and bundled kit, and how to apply cream dye for even coverage.
Why Cream Consistency Matters for At-Home Hair Coloring
Cream dye stays where you apply it. Unlike gel or liquid formulas, a thick cream does not run or drip, which makes precise application to regrowth or selected sections easier without staining the scalp excessively. Sheet's coloring creams are formulated to cling to the hair shaft during the 30-40 minute processing window while maintaining enough moisture in the mixture to avoid drying out before development is complete.
The 120g tube size is generous for a single full-head application on short to medium hair, and leaves some cream for blending through already-dyed lengths without running out during the touch-up pass.
Standard Hair Coloring Cream vs. Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream
The Sheet Hair Coloring Cream is the straightforward formula in shades like 7NB Light Brown and 8.03 Light Yellow Brown. It delivers predictable permanent color using a standard oxidative base. The Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream adds conditioning ingredients to the same oxidative mechanism, targeting reduced hair brittleness and improved softness after processing. Evinho shades in this collection include 5N Natural Brown, 5G Light Brown, and the standalone 120g tube.
The difference shows most on hair that is already chemically processed or fine - Evinho's conditioning base provides a slightly softer feel after rinsing. On healthy, unprocessed hair, the practical difference is smaller, and choosing by shade availability is a reasonable approach.
Absolute Coloring Cream Kits: What's Included and When to Choose Them
The Absolute Coloring Cream Dye 120g + Oxidizer 100ml kits sold on this page bundle everything you need: the color cream and its developer in a paired set. Available kit shades include 01N Black, 10R Red, 6.05 Natural Brown, and 9MB Milk Brown. The bundled oxidizer is matched in strength to each specific shade, removing the guesswork of choosing the right developer volume if you are not familiar with developer percentages.
Choose a bundled kit over a standalone cream tube when you are buying a shade for the first time, when you do not have compatible developer at home, or when you want a complete all-in-one purchase without additional items in your cart.
Navigating the Brown Shades: 5N, 5G, 6.05, 7NB, 9MB, and 8.03
Sheet's cream dye lineup is strongest in brown tones. From darkest to lightest in this collection:
- 5N Natural Brown: Medium-deep brown, neutral base, no warmth. A close match to natural dark brown hair.
- 5G Light Brown: Medium-deep brown with gold (G) undertone - adds warmth and slight brightness to dark hair.
- 6.05 Natural Brown: Medium brown with subtle warm-neutral tone. A popular everyday result on dark to medium hair.
- 7NB Light Brown: Medium brown with a natural beige base - lighter and warmer than the 6.05.
- 9MB Milk Brown: Light brown with a milky, cool-neutral tone. Closest to a beige or ash-light brown result.
- 8.03 Light Yellow Brown: Light blonde-brown with gold - the lightest brown shade in the cream range, giving a warm golden-light result.
Most dark hair can reach the 5N and 5G shades in a single application without pre-lightening. Shades 8.03 and 9MB may require pre-lightening on dark natural hair for the full effect to show.
01N Black and 10R Red: The Deepest and Most Vivid Options
The Absolute Coloring Cream 01N Black kit delivers a near-neutral deep black result - no warmth, no visible undertone. It is the most reliable option for covering grey hair completely and for achieving a uniform dark result across natural or previously colored hair. The 01N code means depth 1 (near-black) with a neutral base, so there is no reddish or brown tint in the finish.
The Absolute Coloring Cream 10R Red kit requires a much lighter base to show its full vivid red. On medium or dark hair without pre-lightening, the red will add warmth and a reddish tint but will not reach the vivid saturated red on the label. For the full 10R effect on dark hair, pre-lighten to a pale yellow first, then apply the red kit. Red pigments in the 10R shade are small-molecule and tend to fade faster than darker tones - cool water rinses and color-protecting shampoo extend the result between applications.
Mixing the Cream and Developer: Ratios and Technique
For kits that include the oxidizer, mix the full 120g cream with the full 100ml oxidizer for the standard ratio of approximately 1:1 by weight. Use the included bowl and brush for mixing; metal bowls can interact with the chemistry and should be avoided. Mix thoroughly until the color is uniform with no streaks of unmixed cream or developer remaining - an uneven mix causes patchy color.
For standalone 120g tubes used with a developer purchased separately, follow the tube instructions for ratio. Standard 20-volume (6%) developer in a 1:1 ratio is typical for deposit-and-lift shades; lighter shades like 8.03 or 9MB may use a slightly higher developer ratio for the extra lift needed to show the full result. Use the mixture immediately - oxidative color degrades within 30-40 minutes of mixing.
Step-by-Step: Applying Sheet Coloring Cream for Even Coverage
Section dry, unwashed hair into four quadrants (two front, two back) using clips. Put on gloves. Apply the mixed cream starting at the roots of each section, working systematically across the head so no area is missed. Use the brush tip to part and apply at the root, then work down. For full grey coverage, ensure the root line and temples are fully saturated - these areas are most visible and often resist color more than the mid-lengths.
After applying to all sections, gently massage the scalp to ensure even distribution, then use the back of the brush or a wide-tooth comb to distribute remaining cream through the lengths. Leave on for the time stated in the included instructions, typically 30-40 minutes. Rinse until the water runs clear, then apply the included conditioner or use the Sheet Moisture Hair Lotion separately available. Style as normal after towel drying.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Sheet Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream 120g and the Absolute Coloring Cream Dye 120g + Oxidizer 100ml kit?
The Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream 120g is a standalone color tube - you need to supply compatible developer separately. The Absolute Coloring Cream Dye 120g + Oxidizer 100ml kits (sold in 01N Black, 10R Red, 6.05 Natural Brown, 9MB Milk Brown, and other shades) include both the color cream and the matched developer in one purchase. If you already have developer at home, the standalone tube works fine; if not, the bundled kit is simpler.
What does the Sheet Absolute Coloring Cream 9MB Milk Brown look like on medium brown hair?
9MB Milk Brown is a level 9 (light blonde) shade with a milky, cool-neutral base. On medium brown hair (level 5-6) without pre-lightening, the result will be a lighter warm brown rather than the full cool-light milk brown on the box. To get closer to the label result on medium brown hair, one application will lift and warm the hair - a second application or pre-lightening session will move it toward the full beige-light result. On hair that is already light brown or highlighted, the milk brown tone shows more accurately.
Does the Sheet Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream 5N Natural Brown cover grey hair fully?
Yes. Permanent oxidative color at any depth level - including 5N Natural Brown - provides full grey coverage when applied correctly and left on for the full processing time. Grey hair has no melanin and is very porous, which means it actually absorbs color faster than pigmented hair. Apply the 5N cream thoroughly to grey areas, especially at the temples and part line, and ensure full saturation. The result is a neutral medium-dark brown with no warmth.
What developer ratio and strength should I use with the Sheet Hair Coloring Cream standalone tube?
The standard ratio for Sheet Hair Coloring Cream is 1:1 (cream:developer) by volume or weight. Use 20-volume (6%) hydrogen peroxide developer for shades in the 5-7 depth range that need 1-2 levels of lift or full deposit. For lighter shades like 8.03 Light Yellow Brown that need more lift, 30-volume (9%) developer can be used if 20-volume does not achieve the lightening needed. Do not exceed the stated processing time - higher volume developer combined with extra time increases damage without improving the shade result.
Do I need to patch test before every Sheet Coloring Cream application?
Yes. Perform a patch test 48 hours before every application, including re-applications of a shade you have used before. Sensitization to PPD and oxidative colorant precursors can develop after repeated use, meaning a person who had no reaction to the first application may react to a later one. Apply mixed cream to the inner elbow or behind the ear, leave 48 hours, and check for redness, itching, or swelling before proceeding with a full-head application.
Is the Sheet Evinho Absolute 5G Light Brown warmer or cooler than 5N Natural Brown?
5G is warmer than 5N. The G in the shade code stands for gold, indicating a warm-yellow undertone. On dark hair, 5G lifts to the same depth as 5N but adds visible golden warmth to the result, giving a chestnut-brown look with more brightness than the neutral 5N. If you want a cooler, more flat brown, choose 5N. If you want a warm, slightly sunny brown, choose 5G.
Are Sheet Coloring Cream products made in Korea?
Yes. Sheet is a Korean brand and the Hair Coloring Cream and Evinho Absolute Coloring Cream products sold on skinsli are manufactured in Korea and imported directly through Korean supply channels. The packaging is in Korean; some products include English ingredient lists or instructions as well.
