Troubleshooting
Color did not come out as expected.
Ensure you followed the packet instructions precisely regarding application time and even distribution. Your natural hair color, previous dyes, and hair condition can influence the final shade. Wait at least 2 weeks before attempting to recolor if needed, and consider a slightly different shade or professional advice.
My scalp feels itchy or irritated after using the product.
This is why a patch test is crucial. If you experience irritation, rinse your hair immediately and thoroughly. Do not continue to use the product. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each use.
Hair does not feel as silky or conditioned as expected.
Ensure you used the full amount of the conditioning balm provided and left it on for the recommended time. For best results, massage the conditioner thoroughly into your hair before rinsing. Regular deep conditioning treatments can further enhance hair health.
The color faded more quickly than 32 shampoos.
Factors like frequent washing, use of clarifying shampoos, excessive sun exposure, or heat styling can cause color to fade faster. Use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. Reduce washing frequency and use heat protectants.
The product mix is too runny or too thick.
Ensure you vigorously shook the mixture in the applicator bottle for the specified time until it was a completely homogeneous blend. Incorrect mixing can affect texture and color results.
