Troubleshooting
Uneven colour application
Ensure hair is properly sectioned and the colour mixture is thoroughly saturated. Check that the developer and colour cream were mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly combined.
Colour does not develop to expected shade
Verify the correct developer volume was used and that the colour was left on for the recommended processing time. Natural hair pigment and previous treatments can affect final results.
Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring
Ensure proper conditioning treatments are used post-colouring. Consider using a lower volume developer for sensitive hair types and always perform strand tests.
Colour fades quickly
Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive washing and limit exposure to harsh environmental factors like direct sun or chlorinated water. Ensure the recommended developer was used for maximum longevity.
