FAQs

Is this a semi-permanent or permanent dye?

This is a permanent hair dye designed for long-lasting color results.

How long should I leave the dye on my hair?

Follow the specific timing instructions provided in the product leaflet inside the box for optimal results.

Can I use this on previously bleached hair?

Yes, but be aware that bleached hair is more porous and may absorb the color more intensely, potentially resulting in a darker shade.

Do I need to wash my hair before applying?

It is generally recommended to apply the dye to dry, unwashed hair to allow the formula to adhere best.

Will this cover gray hair?

As a permanent formula, it is designed to provide significant coverage, though results on gray hair may vary depending on the texture and percentage of gray.

How often can I re-dye my hair?

It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks between full applications to maintain hair health.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color distribution

Ensure hair is thoroughly saturated during application and use a comb to distribute the dye evenly from roots to ends.

Dye staining on skin

Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly along the hairline and ears before application to act as a barrier.

Color is darker than expected

Always perform a strand test on a small section of hair first to gauge the final shade before full head application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High color intensity and deep saturation
  • Long-lasting permanent results
  • Professional, salon-quality aesthetic at home
  • Easy-to-follow application process

Cons

  • Permanent formula is difficult to remove or change quickly
  • Requires proper patch testing before full application
  • Strong chemical smell common with permanent dyes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure you have a towel to protect clothing and gloves to protect your hands. Always conduct a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before full application to avoid allergic reactions. For best results, apply to dry, unwashed hair. When caring for your hair after dyeing, use shampoos and conditioners formulated for color-treated hair to maintain the vibrancy of the Espresso Martini shade. Avoid excessive heat styling, as high temperatures can accelerate the fading of permanent dyes.
