Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Preparation
- Patch Test: Always perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before full application. Apply a small amount of the product mixture to a clean area of skin, such as behind the ear, and leave undisturbed. If any irritation occurs, do not use the product.
- Strand Test: For optimal results, especially if you have previously colored hair or a mix of natural and grey hair, perform a strand test. Apply the dye to a small, hidden section of hair to check the color outcome and timing.
- Preparation: Put on the gloves provided. Drape an old towel over your shoulders to protect clothing. Have a timer ready.
- Mixing: Follow the instructions carefully to mix the developer and colorant. Shake well to ensure a homogenous mixture.
Compatibility
This permanent hair dye is suitable for adult use. It can be used on natural or previously colored hair, but always refer to the specific instructions for application variations. Not recommended for use on hair that has been permed, relaxed, or straightened less than two weeks prior.
Post-Color Care
- Rinsing: After the development time, rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Conditioning: Apply the NEW 5 Oils Conditioner generously throughout your hair. Leave on for the recommended time (usually 2-5 minutes) to deeply nourish and add shine. This step is vital for maintaining hair health and color vibrancy.
- Future Care: To maintain color and hair health, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Limit excessive heat styling and exposure to harsh UV light to help prevent premature fading.
