Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application
- Preparation: Always perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before full application, even if you've used hair dye before. Read all instructions thoroughly. Wear the provided gloves.
- Mixing: The product comes in a convenient tub. Follow the instructions to mix the developer and colorant components directly in the tub using the provided spatula.
- Application: Apply the non-drip mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure complete saturation for uniform color and grey coverage.
- Development Time: Leave the dye on for the recommended time as per the instructions, typically around 30-45 minutes. Do not exceed this time.
- Rinsing & Conditioning: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Apply the provided after-care conditioner, leave for a few minutes, then rinse again.
Compatibility
- Hair Types: This permanent hair dye is suitable for all hair types.
- Previous Treatments: If you have recently permed, relaxed, or straightened your hair, wait at least two weeks before applying this hair dye. Always perform a strand test if you're unsure how your hair will react.
Care Instructions
To maximize the 8 weeks of long-lasting color and maintain healthy hair:
- Use Color-Safe Products: Opt for shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair to help preserve the vibrancy.
- Limit Washing: Wash your hair less frequently, using cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can strip color faster.
- Protect from Sun: Prolonged sun exposure can fade hair color. Consider using UV-protective hair products or wearing a hat outdoors.
- Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: Reduce the use of heat styling tools or use a heat protectant spray when styling to prevent damage and color fade.
- Regular Trims: Schedule regular trims to keep ends healthy and prevent split ends, which can make hair look dull.
