Schwarzkopf IGORA ROYAL Absolutes Hair Color Shade 4-60 is a professional permanent colour cream formulated for clients seeking dependable white-hair coverage with a rich, natural-looking brown result. The official shade name is Medium Brown Chocolate Natural , combining a medium-brown colour depth with chocolate as its primary tonal direction and a natural component for balanced white-hair coverage. According to Schwarzkopf Professional’s colour-numbering system, the number 4 represents medium brown, 6 represents chocolate and 0 identifies the natural tonal component used for white-hair coverage. This combination creates a deep brown result with noticeable chocolate character while maintaining a balanced, wearable finish. IGORA ROYAL Absolutes is specifically formulated for mature hair and can provide up to 100% coverage without requiring the addition of a separate natural base shade. It is also designed to equalise colour on thick and resistant white hair, helping produce more consistent results across the regrowth area. The formula contains Schwarzkopf’s Pro-Age Complex with collagen and siliamine. This technology uses a long-chain care polymer that adheres to the cuticle surface and creates a smoother, more even surface. Schwarzkopf states that this contributes to improved hair feel, tonal appearance and shine. The product also features Low-Odour Technology. Its oil-structured cream base slows the evaporation of ammonia and reduces its characteristic smell during the colouring service. This means the product is not ammonia-free ; instead, it is formulated to offer a lower-odour colouring experience. For standard use, shade 4-60 is mixed in equal parts with IGORA ROYAL Oil Developer. Schwarzkopf recommends 9% 30 Vol. developer for white-hair coverage and lifting, while 6% 20 Vol. is intended for pure colour deposit on hair with more than 90% white. The required development time is 30–45 minutes. Schwarzkopf IGORA ROYAL Absolutes 4-60 is suitable for professional regrowth colouring, resistant-white-hair coverage and colour services requiring a rich medium chocolate-brown result with shine and lasting colour performance.
