FAQs
How long does the colour last?
BIOKAP Rapid is a permanent hair colour, meaning it is designed to last until the hair grows out or is chemically altered. It provides long-lasting colour with good grey coverage.
Can I mix shades to create a custom colour?
Yes, even colour mixes are possible. However, you should only choose mixtures that are recommended for your shade and natural hair colour. Refer to the product instructions for guidance on safe and effective mixing.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The product is dermatologically tested, nickel-free, and formulated without ammonia, resorcin, PPD, and other common irritants. However, a patch test 48 hours before full application is always recommended to check for individual sensitivities.
How do I perform a strand test?
Apply a small amount of the mixed colour to a hidden strand of hair. Wait for 10 minutes (or the recommended time), rinse, and dry the strand to check the resulting colour and assess how your hair reacts.
What should I do if I have very dark hair?
For very dark hair, the 'chocolate chestnut brown' may appear as a rich brown with subtle red undertones. To achieve a lighter or more noticeable change on very dark hair, you might need to consider lightening products or consult a professional.
Does the kit include everything I need?
Yes, each kit includes the colourant, developer, conditioner, hairline cream, gloves, and a protective cape for a complete and convenient application process.
Can this product be used on chemically treated hair (e.g., permed or straightened)?
While the formula is nourishing, chemically treated hair can be more porous and sensitive. It is strongly recommended to perform a strand test to see how the colour will take and how your hair will respond. Wait at least a week or two after chemical treatments before colouring.
Troubleshooting
Colour not developing evenly
Ensure hair was properly saturated with the colour mixture from roots to ends. Check if the application time was accurate (10 minutes). Rinsing too early can affect results.
Hair feels dry or brittle after colouring
Thoroughly rinse and apply the included conditioner, leaving it on for the recommended time. Consider using a deep conditioning treatment a few days after colouring. Ensure you are using colour-safe hair care products.
Skin irritation during or after application
Although dermatologically tested, some individuals may still experience sensitivity. Ensure you performed the patch test 48 hours prior. Rinse immediately with water if irritation occurs and discontinue use.
Colour is lighter or darker than expected
Results vary based on natural hair colour and condition. A strand test before full application is crucial for predicting the final shade accurately.
Hairline cream is not effective in preventing stains
Ensure the hairline cream was applied generously and evenly along the entire hairline before colour application. Wipe away any excess colour product that gets onto the skin immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The BIOKAP Rapid hair colour kit is designed for immediate use. Open the protective packaging and identify the colourant, developer, conditioner, hairline cream, gloves, and protective cape. Read the enclosed instructions carefully before beginning. Apply the hairline cream to protect your skin around the hairline. Put on the gloves and protective cape.
Application: Mix the colourant and developer directly in the bottle as per instructions. Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure all hair is saturated. Leave on for precisely 10 minutes.
Rinsing & Conditioning: Rinse hair thoroughly until water runs clear. Apply the included conditioner and leave on for a few minutes before rinsing again. This helps to seal the colour and nourish the hair.
Compatibility: This product is suitable for all hair types, including those with sensitive scalps, as it is dermatologically tested and free from harsh chemicals like ammonia. It is recommended for those seeking permanent colour and grey coverage. A strand test is advised to predict results on your specific hair colour and condition.
Care: To maintain the vibrancy of your chocolate chestnut brown colour, use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colour over time. Regularly condition your hair to keep it healthy and smooth.
