natural remaining pigment (NRP)

NRP is the tonal value that the hair contributes as it lightens. It is important to determine the NRP the hair will contribute at the
desired level prior to applying hair color. After you identify the NRP at the desired level, determine whether you want to neutralize or
enhance the NRP, and choose the shade accordingly using the color wheel.
