What result can I expect on my current hair colour — blonde, brown, or grey? — Toning shampoo eggplant 40ml V42 victoria beauty

Because the pigments are direct dyes that sit on the hair surface, the starting base determines the final look. On level 9–10 blonde or pre-lightened hair, the colour appears vivid and true to the aubergine-violet tone in the bottle. On light-to-medium brown (levels 5–7), the same pigments add a rich plum reflection that catches the light rather than overtly changing the base shade. On dark brown or black hair, the effect is subtle — mainly a cool highlight visible in sunlight. Grey and white hair, having no underlying melanin, takes the direct pigment most intensely, often yielding a saturated violet-plum result that can look quite bold. If your hair has uneven porosity (e.g., darker roots, lighter ends), the tone may vary along the length; a strand test on a hidden section is the only reliable way to preview your personal outcome.
