Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation, application, and aftercare are crucial for best results and hair health.
Setup
- Preparation: Always perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before full application. Wear old clothes and protect surfaces to prevent staining. Have a non-metallic bowl and brush ready if not using the applicator bottle provided. Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours before coloring.
- Mixing: Info needed: [specific mixing instructions from the product packaging, typically involves combining the developer and colorant in the applicator bottle or a non-metallic bowl]. Shake well if using a bottle.
- Application: Info needed: [detailed instructions on how to apply, e.g., apply to roots first, then lengths, or all over, depending on whether it's a first-time application or root touch-up]. Ensure even saturation for consistent color.
- Development Time: Info needed: [recommended processing time as per the product instructions, typically 20-35 minutes]. Do not exceed the maximum recommended time.
- Rinsing & Conditioning: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Apply the included restoring conditioner with 5 oils, leave on for the recommended time, then rinse.
Compatibility
- Hair Types: This hair dye is suitable for all hair types, from fine to thick, and straight to curly.
- Previous Treatments: If your hair has been recently permed, relaxed, or chemically straightened, it's generally recommended to wait at least two weeks before coloring. Always perform a strand test on a small, inconspicuous section of hair to check the color result and hair condition before full application.
Care
- Post-Coloring: Use the provided restoring conditioner immediately after coloring. This helps to lock in color and nourish the hair.
- Maintenance: To prolong your color and maintain hair health, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid washing hair daily. Rinse with cooler water to help keep the cuticle sealed and preserve color.
- Longevity: The color is long-lasting. For root touch-ups, reapply as needed, typically every 4-6 weeks, following the partial application instructions.
