MATRIX SoColor long-lasting permanent hair colour 8VM, 90 ml
UPL04898
1-4
Pro only
Helps change the base tone and create lasting colour, including on regrowth. Oxidative pigments develop the chosen tonal nuance with a suitable developer, adapting colour to the starting base.
SoColor 8VM is a permanent shade for lasting base colour and refreshing regrowth. The oxidative dye system develops the tone after mixing with the specified developer, so the result depends on both the chosen shade and starting base.
Regrowth, uneven saturation and faded mid-lengths require careful formula selection. This permanent colour provides lasting tone, while assessing the starting base and grey percentage helps determine developer choice and application technique.
MATRIX SoColor 8VM is a permanent hair colour for precise colouring and creating the desired shade.
Select colour according to natural tone, existing colour and the desired result. Professional hair assessment helps determine the right developer and application technique.
Permanent hair colour: key benefits
- Permanent colour for lasting tone.
- Suitable for professional hair colouring.
- Shade 8VM for precise formula selection.
- Use with compatible MATRIX developer.
Who is this hair colour suitable for?
For professional use with shade 8VM. Before colouring, assess the starting base, previous treatments and porosity. The final tone depends on the starting hair colour and application technique.
How to use
Before mixing, assess the starting base, grey percentage and desired result. Mix with the MATRIX Cream Developer specified for the shade, following the ratio and processing time on the tube or enclosed instructions. Apply using professional colouring techniques and rinse thoroughly after processing. Wear suitable gloves and perform the allergy test specified on the packaging before each colouring service.
Practical application guidance
- Separate regrowth from previously coloured lengths and select the application method for each area's needs. Refresh the lengths only if saturation has genuinely faded.
- Before application, prepare a uniform mixture of colour and the developer specified for the SoColor version. Determine processing time from this formula's instructions, not another MATRIX series.
- Base and tonal shades are generally mixed 1:1 with MATRIX Cream Developer; for example, 45 g of colour with 45 ml of suitable developer. Select concentration according to the starting base and required lift.
- Determine processing time for roots and porous ends separately. Refresh the lengths with a coordinated SoColor Sync or Super Sync formula, following that colour's own mixing instructions.

About MATRIX
MATRIX is a professional hair brand founded in the USA in 1980 by hairdressers Arnie and Sydell Miller. Its heritage centres on salon work: haircare, colouring and styling, alongside education for professionals. The brand develops products for salon services and for home care between appointments.
What is MATRIX known for?
MATRIX organises its ranges around specific hair needs. Dryness, a rough hair surface, damage and unwanted warm tones call for different approaches. Choose a product by considering your hair's texture, current condition and desired result, as well as whether it has been coloured.
A routine can progress from cleansing and conditioning to more intensive care and styling. When combining products, consider the purpose of each step: cleansing, detangling, additional care or shaping the hairstyle. Follow the individual product's directions and adjust the amount to suit your hair.
MATRIX products and key ranges
Cleansing and everyday care
Shampoos form the starting point, while hair conditioners care for the lengths after washing. For more intensive care, consider hair masks. Check whether each product is designed to be rinsed out or left in, and which needs it addresses.
Food For Soft and Instacure Build-A-Bond
Food For Soft targets dry hair with formulas featuring avocado oil and hyaluronic acid. Instacure Build-A-Bond addresses damaged hair with citric acid and squalane. Choose between these ranges according to whether your main concern is dryness or damage.
Mega Sleek and A Curl Can Dream
Mega Sleek focuses on smoothing and frizz control. A Curl Can Dream includes care and styling products for curls and coils, with dedicated products for waves. Choose according to whether you want a smoother finish or more definition in your natural curl pattern.
So Silver and Brass Off
So Silver helps neutralise yellow tones in blonde and grey hair. Brass Off targets unwanted orange tones in lightened hair. Choose a toning product to match the unwanted tone and follow its recommended application time.
Who are MATRIX products for?
MATRIX products suit hairdressers and anyone who wants a home routine tailored to their hair type. Start with your main concern and choose a corresponding range. If your hair needs both hydration and tone correction, a hairdresser can help you decide how often to use each product and how to combine the steps.
