Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye 1.0 Black truly permanent?

Yes, this is a permanent hair dye. The color will not wash out and will last until your hair grows out or you re-color it.

Does this product cover 100% of grey hair?

Yes, Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye is formulated to provide 100% grey coverage, ensuring a uniform and vibrant black result.

Does this hair dye contain ammonia?

No, this product features a zero ammonia formula, making for a more pleasant and less irritating coloring experience.

What is the AHA Bonding Treatment and what does it do?

The AHA Bonding Treatment contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) which work to seal the color into your hair like a top coat and provide reinforcement to the hair structure, contributing to stronger, healthier-looking hair.

Do I need to perform a patch test before using this hair dye?

Yes, it is absolutely essential to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each and every use of this product, even if you have used hair dyes before. This helps to detect any potential allergic reactions.

Can I use this product on previously colored or treated hair?

While generally suitable, previous chemical treatments (like perms or relaxers) can affect the final color result. Always read the included leaflet for specific guidance on using the product on previously treated hair.

How long does the color typically last?

As a permanent hair dye, the color itself does not fade significantly with washing. Its longevity is determined by hair growth; you will typically need to re-touch roots every 4-6 weeks depending on your hair's growth rate.

Troubleshooting

Color did not turn out as expected or is uneven.

Ensure you followed the application instructions precisely, including development time and even distribution. Factors like previous hair color, hair condition, and porosity can influence the final result. If hair was not applied evenly or sectioned properly, it might lead to patchiness. Ensure sufficient product was used for your hair length and thickness. Info needed: If a drastic change from natural hair color, a professional consultation may be necessary.

Experiencing skin irritation or allergic reaction.

IMMEDIATELY rinse thoroughly with water and discontinue use. If you did not perform a patch test, this highlights its importance. If you did perform one and still reacted, consult a medical professional. Never ignore skin irritation when using hair dyes.

Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.

While the AHA Bonding Treatment helps, hair coloring can still be drying. Use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask after coloring. Ensure you're using color-safe, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners regularly. Avoid excessive heat styling right after coloring.

Stains on skin or surfaces.

For skin stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately after application. For stubborn stains, specialized hair dye removers for skin can be used. Prevent future stains by applying petroleum jelly to your hairline and ears, wearing old clothes, and covering surfaces with old towels or newspaper before starting.

Grey hairs are not fully covered.

Ensure the product was applied generously and evenly to all grey areas, as grey hair can be more resistant to color. Verify that the full recommended development time was observed. Sometimes, more resistant grey hair requires slightly longer processing within the recommended limits, or a slightly different application technique.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete Grey Coverage: Reliably covers 100% of grey hair for a consistent look.
  • Ammonia-Free: A gentler formulation that is more comfortable to use.
  • Hair Strengthening Benefits: AHA Bonding Treatment helps reinforce hair structure during coloring.
  • Long-Lasting Results: As a permanent dye, the color endures until your hair grows out or is recolored.
  • Multidimensional Finish: Avoids a dull, flat color by providing depth and natural-looking tones.

Cons

  • Permanent Commitment: Requires grow-out or another chemical process to change the color significantly.
  • Patch Test Required: Crucial 48-hour allergy patch test is mandatory before each use.
  • Potential for Staining: Like all dyes, can stain skin, clothing, and surfaces if not handled carefully.
  • Application Time: Requires dedicated time for mixing, application, and development.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Proper setup is crucial for successful and safe hair coloring. Always follow the detailed instructions provided in the product box.

  1. Perform a Skin Allergy Patch Test: 48 hours before you plan to color, apply a small amount of the dye mixture to a discreet area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear). Monitor for any reaction like redness, itching, or swelling. DO NOT PROCEED if you experience any irritation.
  2. Gather Supplies: You will need gloves (usually included), an old towel, a timer, and a non-metallic bowl and applicator brush if mixing is required. Some people also apply petroleum jelly around their hairline to prevent skin staining.
  3. Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours prior to coloring (refer to product instructions for specific guidance).
  4. Mix the Product: Carefully combine the colorant and developer creams as instructed in the product leaflet. Use only non-metallic tools for mixing.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: This product is intended for adult use.
  • Hair Type: Suitable for various hair types looking for permanent black color and grey coverage.
  • Not for Other Uses: Do not use this product to dye eyelashes or eyebrows, as doing so may cause blindness or severe irritation.
  • Previous Hair Treatments: Be aware that previous chemical treatments (e.g., perms, relaxers) can affect color results. Consult the product leaflet for specific advice if you have recently treated your hair.

Care

To maintain your new black color and the health of your hair:

  • Use Color-Safe Products: Opt for shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for color-treated hair to help preserve color vibrancy.
  • Limit Washing: Washing your hair less frequently can help prolong your color. Consider dry shampoo between washes.
  • Cool Water Rinse: Rinse your hair with cooler water after shampooing to help seal the hair cuticle and lock in color.
  • Heat Protection: If you use heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray to minimize color fade and hair damage.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Limit exposure to chlorine and excessive sun, as these can strip color.
