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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
