FAQs
Is Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye ammonia-free?
Yes, this product is formulated without ammonia, contributing to a gentler coloring experience.
Will this hair dye cover 100% of my grey hair?
Yes, Clairol Colour Strong is specifically designed to provide 100% grey coverage, ensuring a complete and uniform result.
What is the purpose of the AHA Bonding Treatment?
The AHA Bonding Treatment works to seal color into the hair like a top coat and reinforces the hair's structure, which helps to strengthen hair during the coloring process.
How long does the color typically last?
As a permanent hair dye, the color is designed to last until your hair grows out. Its vibrancy can be maintained with proper care using color-safe hair products.
Do I really need to perform a patch test before every application?
Yes, it is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each and every application, even if you have colored your hair before. This helps identify any potential allergic reactions.
Can I use this dye if I have previously bleached my hair?
It is generally not recommended to apply permanent dye to heavily bleached or chemically treated hair without consulting a professional first, as results can be unpredictable and potentially damaging. Always perform a strand test if considering this.
What should I do if I have very long or thick hair?
For very long or particularly thick hair, it is often recommended to use two boxes of the Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye to ensure full and even saturation for optimal results.
Troubleshooting
Color didn't take or is uneven.
Ensure thorough saturation of all hair strands, especially stubborn grey areas. Verify the correct processing time was followed. For very porous hair, consider a pre-treatment to even out porosity before coloring.
Scalp irritation or allergic reaction.
Immediately rinse hair and scalp thoroughly with water. Discontinue use. If irritation persists or worsens, seek medical attention. Always perform the required 48-hour skin allergy patch test before each application to prevent severe reactions.
Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.
Ensure the AHA Bonding Treatment provided in the kit was used as directed after coloring. Follow with regular deep conditioning treatments using products formulated for color-treated and damaged hair. Avoid excessive heat styling.
Grey hairs are not fully covered.
Ensure sufficient product was applied to the grey areas and that the full recommended processing time was observed. Sometimes, more stubborn greys require slightly longer processing or more generous application.
Color is too dark or not the desired shade.
Results can vary based on your starting hair color and porosity. If the color is too dark, a color remover product designed for permanent dyes may be an option, but proceed with caution and follow instructions carefully. A strand test is always recommended to predict the final shade.
