FAQs
How long should I leave the color on?
Leave the mixture on for 25-35 minutes. Adjust time based on desired intensity and hair type, but do not exceed the recommended time.
Can I use this on grey hair?
This product is suitable for covering grey hair. For resistant grey, a slightly longer processing time within the recommended window might be necessary.
What type of peroxide should I use?
For natural or previously dyed hair, use 20 volume stabilized peroxide. Ensure it is specifically designed for hair coloring.
How many applications does one tube provide?
One 100ml tube provides up to two complete applications for short to medium-length hair, or for root touch-ups.
Do I need to wash my hair before applying?
No, it is recommended to apply the color to dry, unwashed hair. This allows the natural oils to protect your scalp.
What is the mixing ratio?
The mixing ratio is 1 part MagiColor dyeing cream to 2 parts stabilized peroxide.
Can I mix colors?
While possible, mixing colors is best left to experienced professionals. Results can be unpredictable. Stick to single shades for consistent outcomes.
Troubleshooting
Color is lighter/darker than expected
Ensure correct mixing ratio (1:2) and leave-in time (25-35 minutes). Natural hair porosity and color can affect final results; consider a strand test first.
Uneven color application
Ensure hair is thoroughly saturated during application. Comb through at intervals as instructed. Work in small, manageable sections.
Scalp irritation
Perform a patch test 48 hours prior to use. Ensure proper ventilation during application. Rinse immediately if severe irritation occurs.
Hair feels dry or brittle after coloring
Ensure hair is well-conditioned after rinsing. Use a deep conditioning treatment. Limit heat styling. The vitamin formula aims to reduce this, but individual results may vary.
