Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
1. Important Safety Step: The Patch Test
- Before every use, even if you've colored your hair before, you must perform a skin allergy patch test.
- Apply a small amount of product mixture to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the inner elbow.
- Leave it on for 48 hours without washing. Do not use the product if you experience any irritation, redness, or itching during this period.
2. Preparation for Application
- Read the entire instruction leaflet enclosed in the packet carefully before starting.
- Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for optimal results.
- Drape an old towel over your shoulders to protect clothing and put on the gloves provided in the kit.
3. Mixing the Colour
- Squeeze the entire contents of the Crème Colourant tube into the Developer bottle.
- Close the Developer bottle cap tightly.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture is uniform and thoroughly blended.
- Immediately twist off the applicator tip to prevent the bottle from bursting.
4. Application
- Full Head Application: Apply the mixture section by section to the roots of your hair, then distribute evenly through the lengths and ends.
- Root Touch-up: Apply only to the re-growth area, then emulsify through the rest of the hair for the last few minutes.
- Ensure all hair is saturated. Use a comb or your gloved fingers to spread the product evenly.
5. Development Time
- Leave the mixture on your hair for the time specified in the instruction leaflet (typically around 20-25 minutes, but refer to your specific packet).
6. Rinse and Condition
- After the development time, thoroughly rinse your hair with warm water until the water runs clear.
- Apply the Nutri-Shine conditioner provided in the kit.
- Massage the conditioner into your hair, focusing on the ends.
- Leave on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
7. Post-Color Care
- To maintain the vibrancy and gloss, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive washing.
- Limit exposure to direct sunlight and chlorine, which can fade semi-permanent color.
- This semi-permanent color will gradually fade over up to 32 shampoos. Reapply as desired to refresh your shade and gloss.
