FAQs

How long does the Clairol Colour Strong permanent hair dye last?

As a permanent hair dye, the colour is designed to last until your hair grows out or is recoloured. The vibrancy will remain, though root regrowth will appear over time, typically requiring touch-ups every 4-6 weeks depending on individual hair growth.

What is the AHA Bonding Treatment?

The AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) Bonding Treatment is a key feature that works in two ways: it helps to seal the multidimensional colour into your hair, acting like a top coat, and it also provides reinforcement to the hair structure, contributing to stronger and healthier-looking hair.

Is this product suitable for all hair types?

While generally suitable for most adult hair types, results can vary based on your hair's natural colour, porosity, and any previous chemical treatments. For best results, always perform a strand test if you are unsure.

Do I need to do a patch test every time I colour my hair?

Yes, it is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each and every application of any hair colour product, even if you have used the same product before. Allergic reactions can develop over time.

Can men use this hair dye?

While the product attributes mention 'Female', hair dye products are generally formulated for hair regardless of gender. Men can use this product if they desire the 5.1 Medium Ash Blonde shade and follow all safety and application instructions.

My hair feels dry after colouring. What should I do?

Ensure you used the conditioning treatment provided in the kit. For ongoing care, use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners, and incorporate a deep conditioning mask into your routine once a week. Minimize heat styling and use a heat protectant spray.

Does this dye cover grey hair effectively?

Yes, the Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye is specifically formulated to provide 100% grey coverage, ensuring a uniform and consistent colour even on resistant grey hairs.

Troubleshooting

Colour appears too dark or too light

The final shade can be influenced by your natural hair colour, porosity, and previous treatments. Ensure you followed the recommended processing time precisely. If too dark, a clarifying shampoo might gently lift some colour; if too light, consider a reapplication after a few weeks, following all instructions carefully.

Incomplete grey coverage

Ensure you applied enough product to fully saturate all grey areas, especially at the roots and temples. Verify the processing time was followed accurately. Resistant greys sometimes require the full recommended development time.

Scalp irritation or itching during/after application

This could indicate sensitivity. Always perform a 48-hour skin allergy patch test before each use, even if you've used hair dye before. If irritation persists or is severe, rinse immediately and seek medical advice. Do not continue to use the product.

Hair feels dry or damaged after colouring

While this dye includes an AHA Bonding Treatment, hair can still feel dry if it was already compromised. Ensure you used the provided conditioner or a deep conditioning treatment after rinsing. Hydrate your hair regularly with leave-in conditioners and minimize heat styling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Perform a Skin Allergy Patch Test: This is crucial. Apply a small amount of mixed dye to a clean area of skin behind your ear or on your inner elbow 48 hours before full application. Do not wash, cover, or disturb the area. If any reaction occurs (itching, redness, swelling), do not use the product.
  2. Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours before colouring, as natural oils can help protect your scalp.
  3. Gather Supplies: Wear old clothes, put on the provided gloves, and have a timer and an old towel ready. Protect surrounding surfaces from splashes.
  4. Mix the Dye: Carefully follow the instructions in the product leaflet to mix the colourant and developer. Shake well until thoroughly blended.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: This product is designed for adult use.
  • Gender: Primarily marketed for female use.
  • Hair Type: Suitable for most hair types, but results may vary based on porosity and existing colour.
  • Previously Coloured/Treated Hair: > Info needed: Specific guidance on use with previously coloured, chemically straightened, or permed hair. Always consult the product leaflet for detailed instructions regarding these cases.

Care

  • Rinsing: After the processing time, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
  • Conditioning: Apply the provided conditioner or a colour-safe conditioner. Leave on for the recommended time, then rinse.
  • Post-Colour Shampoo: Wait 24-48 hours after colouring before shampooing to allow the colour to fully set. Use a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner thereafter.
  • Washing Frequency: Wash hair less frequently to preserve colour vibrancy. Consider using dry shampoo between washes.
  • Heat Styling: Minimize heat styling, or use a heat protectant spray to prevent colour fading and hair damage.
  • Sun Protection: Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can cause fading. Consider hats or UV protective sprays.
