FAQs
How long does the color last?
As a permanent hair dye, the color lasts until your hair grows out. You'll need to reapply to cover new growth.
Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?
Always perform a patch test 48 hours before use. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use.
How do I do a patch test?
Apply a small amount of the dye mixture behind your ear and wait 48 hours to check for any allergic reaction.
What if I get the dye on my skin?
Wipe it off immediately with a wet cloth. If it stains, you may need to use a stain remover specifically designed for hair dye.
Can I mix different shades?
It is not recommended to mix different shades, as it may alter the final color result.
Is the product safe to use during pregnancy?
Consult with your doctor before use during pregnancy.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or patchy coverage
Ensure even application, paying attention to all areas, especially the roots. If necessary, leave the dye on for the maximum recommended time. In some cases, a second application may be needed, but consult the instructions first.
Color is too dark or not the desired shade
Color results depend on your base color and hair condition. If the color is too dark, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo. For best results, consider consulting a professional stylist.
Irritation or allergic reaction
Immediately rinse your hair and seek medical attention if irritation occurs. Always perform a patch test before full application.
