Troubleshooting
Color is not vibrant enough or did not take well.
Ensure you followed the recommended development time precisely. Hair porosity and initial hair color can affect the final result; very dark hair may show less vibrancy without pre-lightening (not recommended for this product). Ensure thorough mixing of the developer and colorant.
Uneven color result after application.
This often happens if the product wasn't applied evenly or hair was not saturated sufficiently. Section your hair meticulously before application and ensure uniform distribution of the dye, especially if your hair is thick.
Scalp or skin irritation after use.
This highlights the critical importance of the 48-hour patch test. If you experience irritation during or after application, rinse immediately and discontinue use. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Never skip the patch test.
Color seems to fade faster than 28 washes.
Factors like frequent washing, use of harsh shampoos (e.g., clarifying or anti-dandruff), excessive sun exposure, or swimming in chlorinated water can accelerate fading. Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners and protect hair from harsh elements.
Product spilled or stained surfaces.
Act quickly. Rinse with water immediately. For stubborn stains, specialized stain removers for hair dye may be needed. Always cover surrounding surfaces and wear protective clothing during application to prevent spills.
