FAQs
Can this product be used to color my entire head?
No, this is specifically designed for root touch-ups and targeted grey coverage, not for full-head application.
How long should I leave the color on?
Follow the specific timing instructions provided in the box, as processing times are essential for optimal color development.
Is a patch test really necessary?
Yes, a patch test must be performed 48 hours before every use to check for potential skin sensitivities.
Will this cover stubborn grey hair?
Yes, the permanent formula is designed to penetrate and cover resistant grey hairs effectively.
Can I use this if I have a sensitive scalp?
The ammonia-free formula is gentler, but you should always consult the patch test results and monitor for irritation during application.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color result
Ensure the product is applied evenly across all visible grey roots and allowed to sit for the full recommended development time.
Staining on the skin
Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around the hairline and ears before application to act as a barrier against dye.
Color appears too dark
Avoid pulling the dye through the lengths of your hair; focus strictly on the roots to maintain shade consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure you are wearing an old shirt and use a towel to protect your shoulders from staining. Always read the included instruction leaflet thoroughly. The product is compatible with most permanent hair dyes, but should not be used if you have recently treated your hair with henna or metallic salts. For maintenance, use color-safe shampoos to preserve the vibrancy of the red pigment and minimize sun exposure, which can cause premature fading.
