PRAVANA ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color - 1N Black / 3 oz.
PRAVANA ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color 1N Black. Deep, true black that delivers uncompromising coverage, rich shine, and predictable results is a non-negotiable in every professional color line. PRAVANA ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color in 1N Black is engineered for colorists who demand precision, performance, and hair integrity in every service, whether working behind the chair all day or preparing retail recommendations for discerning clients.
This professional-grade permanent creme color is formulated to perform consistently across a wide range of hair types and textures, making it an essential core shade for salons that prioritize reliability and flawless results.
Professional Performance You Can Rely On
PRAVANA ChromaSilk 1N Black is built around a heavy dye load that ensures fully opaque coverage with dimensional depth rather than flat, lifeless black. This is especially critical for gray coverage services, where uneven saturation or translucency can compromise the final look. With up to 100% gray coverage, this shade delivers a clean, neutral black that anchors corrective color work, classic retouches, and full transformations.
The formulation spans multiple tonal families within the ChromaSilk system, allowing colorists to seamlessly integrate 1N Black into custom formulas. Whether used on its own for bold, high-impact black or blended for depth and lowlighting, this shade maintains tonal stability throughout processing and wear.
Advanced Conditioning Built Into the Color
Color performance means nothing if hair integrity is sacrificed. PRAVANA ChromaSilk Permanent Creme Hair Color is infused with a sophisticated blend of conditioning agents designed to protect and enhance the hair during chemical services. Cationic polymers work synergistically with proteins to improve manageability, enhance elasticity, and increase shine from root to tip.
Wheat protein plays a critical role in moisture retention, helping hair remain soft and supple even after repeated color applications. This is particularly valuable for salons servicing clients with resistant hair, coarse textures, or previously color-treated lengths. The addition of pure silk and keratin amino acids elevates the finish, delivering a smooth, reflective surface that clients notice immediately in the mirror.

Low-Ammonia Formula That Respects Hair Integrity
PRAVANA understands the demands placed on professional hair, which is why ChromaSilk features a low-level ammonia formula designed to preserve the integrity of the hair fiber. This allows for effective cuticle opening and pigment penetration without excessive dryness or structural stress.
For salons focused on long-term client satisfaction and repeat visits, this matters. Hair that feels healthier after coloring builds trust, encourages maintenance appointments, and supports retail conversations around professional hair care.
