FAQs

How long does Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye last?

As a permanent hair dye, the color itself does not wash out. However, your natural roots will grow in, requiring touch-ups typically every 4-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate.

Do I need to do a patch test before every application?

Yes, it is crucial to perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before each and every application, even if you have used this product or similar hair dyes before. Allergic reactions can develop over time.

Is this product suitable for all hair types?

Clairol Colour Strong is generally suitable for most adult female hair types. However, results can vary based on your hair's porosity, previous chemical treatments, and natural color. Always perform a strand test to predict results on your specific hair.

What is the AHA Bonding Treatment?

The AHA Bonding Treatment is an innovative ingredient designed to seal the hair's cuticle, locking in color for enhanced vibrancy and longevity. It also reinforces the hair structure, contributing to stronger, healthier-looking hair after coloring.

Can I use this product if I have previously colored my hair with a different brand?

Generally, yes. However, results can be unpredictable when applying new color over previously colored hair, especially if the previous color was very dark or very light. Always perform a strand test to see how the 9.1 Light Ash Blonde will interact with your existing color.

Does Clairol Colour Strong contain ammonia?

No, this product is formulated with zero ammonia, providing a gentler coloring experience with less harsh odor.

How do I maintain my 9.1 Light Ash Blonde color?

To maintain your color, use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. Minimize heat styling, protect your hair from excessive sun exposure, and consider using toning products if you notice any brassiness.

Troubleshooting

Color did not cover grey hair completely.

Ensure thorough saturation of grey areas, as these hairs can be more resistant. Check the processing time and make sure you left the color on for the recommended duration. For stubborn greys, some kits recommend slightly longer processing.

Hair color appears uneven.

Uneven application is a common cause. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed from roots to ends (or as per instructions for root application). Work in small sections for better control. A strand test can help determine appropriate application technique for your hair.

My hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.

While Clairol Colour Strong includes an AHA Bonding Treatment, some hair types may still require extra care. Ensure you used the provided conditioning treatment. For ongoing care, incorporate deep conditioning treatments or hair masks into your routine. Avoid over-processing your hair.

The blonde shade looks brassy or too warm.

Ash tones help counteract brassiness. Ensure you followed the instructions precisely, as incorrect processing time can affect the final tone. Using purple or blue toning shampoos/conditioners specifically designed for blonde hair can help neutralize unwanted warm tones over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ammonia-Free: Reduces harsh chemical odor and potential irritation during application.
  • Complete Grey Coverage: Reliably covers even stubborn grey hairs, offering comprehensive results.
  • Hair Strengthening Benefits: The AHA Bonding Treatment helps reinforce hair, improving its condition post-coloring.
  • Multidimensional Finish: Achieves a natural-looking color depth rather than a single, flat shade.

Cons

  • Permanent Formulation: Requires commitment to the chosen shade and regular root touch-ups.
  • Allergy Risk: Like all hair dyes, requires a patch test to prevent allergic reactions.
  • Application Process: Demands careful and precise application for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Perform an Allergy Patch Test: Always conduct a skin allergy test 48 hours before each use, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the mixed product to a clean patch of skin behind your ear or inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or disturb this area. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
  2. Perform a Strand Test: Before full application, apply the color mixture to a small, hidden section of hair to determine the ideal development time for your desired color result and to assess hair compatibility.
  3. Preparation: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours prior to coloring (refer to specific instructions in the box). Protect your clothing with an old towel and wear the provided gloves.
  4. Mixing: Carefully mix the color cream and developer lotion according to the instructions. Ensure a consistent mixture.

Compatibility

This product is designed for adult female use. While generally suitable for most hair types, results can vary based on your natural hair color, previous chemical treatments, and hair porosity. The 9.1 Light Ash Blonde shade is best suited for those with natural light blonde to dark blonde hair seeking an ashier tone or effective grey coverage. If your hair is heavily bleached or previously colored with very dark dyes, consult the instructions or a professional for guidance on expected results.

Care

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After processing, rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
  2. Apply Conditioning Treatment: Use the provided conditioning treatment to help seal the cuticle and lock in color and strength.
  3. Use Color-Safe Products: To maintain the vibrancy and integrity of your 9.1 Light Ash Blonde color and the benefits of the AHA Bonding Treatment, use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair.
  4. Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat can fade color. Use heat protectants and lower heat settings when styling.
  5. Protect from Sun: Prolonged sun exposure can lighten and fade hair color. Consider wearing a hat or using UV protection hair products.
