Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Before you begin, gather all necessary items: the hair color kit, an old towel to protect your clothing, a timer, and perhaps a comb for even distribution. Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed, as natural oils can help protect your scalp. Always perform an allergy patch test 48 hours in advance by applying a small amount of product behind your ear or on your inner elbow, and a strand test on a hidden section of hair to check the color outcome and timing.
Compatibility
This product is generally compatible with most adult hair types, including natural, color-treated (non-bleached), and permed hair (wait at least 2 weeks after perm/straightening). It is designed for adult use. It's especially well-suited for those looking for a temporary color refresh, enhancing their natural shade, or blending early grays.
Care Instructions
To prolong the vibrancy and shine of your new Satin Blonde color:
- Gentle Washing: Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid harsh sulfates which can strip color.
- Cool Water Rinses: Rinse your hair with cooler water, as hot water can open the hair cuticle and accelerate color fading.
- Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat from styling tools can fade color. Use heat protectants when styling and opt for lower heat settings.
- Deep Conditioning: Incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment to keep hair nourished and maintain shine.
- Sun Protection: If spending prolonged time in the sun, consider using hair products with UV filters or wearing a hat to prevent color fade caused by UV exposure.
