Erase Gray Fast With Super Sync
No helmet effect here! Strand transformed silver hair into a mesmerizing mocha hue using one of the new NN shades from Super Sync, which are designed to mask wiry grays while maintaining natural-looking depth and dimension.
“The triple-dye technology in the new NN series is epic,” says the pro. “I am over the moon to have 100% coverage on up to 75% gray. Plus, the 20-minute processing time is a game changer and allows me to see more clients per day.”
Recreate the Look
- Base: Super Sync 6NN + 10-Volume Cream Developer (scalp to ends; process for 20 minutes)
- Babylights: Light Master Pre-Bonded Powder Lightener + 10-Volume Cream Developer (process for 30 minutes)
- Toner: Super Sync 8V + 10-Volume Cream Developer (process for 20 minutes)
Why It's Super for Gray Coverage
- 75% Gray Coverage: The new NN family is formulated with a Triple-Dye Blend Concentrate that balances warm and cool tones for rich, even gray coverage.
- Built-In Bonder: Citric acid and glycine penetrate deep into the cortex to help protect the hair’s integrity.
- Long-Lasting Color: Super Sync lasts up to 28 washes, and the bigger 3 oz. tube provides 50% more color than other leading brands.
Pro Tip: Saturation is key! Strand recommends applying Super Sync in fine sub-sections and cross-checking your work after five minutes to ensure proper application. (Note: NN shades process about a half-level deeper and slightly cooler than the N series.)

Shine Brighter and Blend Better
Whether you’re adding babylights, brightening a money piece, or seamlessly melting a root smudge into glowing mid-lengths and ends, Super Sync has you covered. The ammonia-free formula offers one level of lift and boosts luminosity by a whopping 103%. “The shine is immediate and the built-in bonder elevates the hair’s luxury and sophistication,” says Strand.
Plus, the robust, 60-shade palette means there’s a hue for every vision—including ash and violet tones for neutralizing blondes, rich golds for warmth, and vibrant reflex shades for eye-catching coppers and reds.
Recreate the Look
- Babylights & Money Piece: High Riser Pre-Bonded + 10-Volume Cream Developer
- Root Smudge: Super Sync 6N + Super Sync 6A + 10-Volume Cream Developer
- Mids & Ends: Super Sync 10V + 10-Volume Cream Developer
Why It's Super for Shine and Precision
- Gets Hair Glowing: New cationic conditioning polymers leave strands ultra-smooth and 2X shinier*.
- Precise Application: No drips, no problem! Glide-enhancing super oils make mixing a breeze and give the formula grip whether you’re painting with a brush or using a bottle.
- Goodbye Guesswork: Super Sync is true to level and tone, so you can trust it to deliver predictable, stress-free results every time.
Pro Tip: Apply Super Sync to dry or damp hair that's at least 80% dry for best results. If the hair is too wet, the results may appear lighter, more diluted, and fade faster.
