Troubleshooting

Color is not as expected or too light/dark.

Final color results depend on your natural hair color, texture, and previous treatments. If too light, you may have under-processed; if too dark, over-processed. Refer to the shade guide and perform a strand test next time to refine processing time.

Uneven color or missed spots.

Ensure the foam is distributed thoroughly and evenly through all sections of your hair, from root to tip. Massage the foam in well to ensure complete saturation. Sectioning hair before application can help.

Scalp irritation or itching during application.

Discontinue use immediately and rinse thoroughly. This could indicate an allergic reaction. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you've used hair dye before.

Hair feels dry or damaged after coloring.

The included conditioner is crucial for post-coloring care. Ensure you use it as directed. For ongoing dryness, incorporate a deep conditioning mask into your routine weekly and use moisturizing, color-safe shampoos and conditioners.

Foam did not form properly or was too runny.

Ensure you followed the mixing instructions precisely, inverting the bottle gently (not shaking vigorously). The temperature of the room can also affect foam consistency. Do not add water or other ingredients.

Stains on skin or surfaces.

Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline before coloring. Clean any accidental drips on skin immediately with a damp cloth. For surfaces, wipe spills quickly; some stains may be permanent on porous materials.

FAQs

How long will the color last?

John Frieda Precision Foam Colour is a permanent hair dye, meaning the color will last until your hair grows out or is re-colored. The vibrancy may gradually diminish over time, but the shade itself is designed to be long-lasting.

Can I use this product on previously colored or chemically treated hair?

Yes, it can be used on previously colored hair. However, if your hair has been recently permed, relaxed, or straightened, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks before applying color. Always perform a strand test to see how your hair reacts and what the final color will look like.

Do I need to do a patch test before every use?

Yes, an allergy patch test must be performed 48 hours before each and every use of this product, even if you have used hair color products before. This is crucial for safety as allergies can develop suddenly.

What if the color result is not what I expected?

The final color depends heavily on your original hair color, texture, and porosity. Always perform a strand test before full application to preview the result. If the color is too light or too dark, adjusting the processing time slightly in future applications (based on strand test results) may help.

How often can I color my hair with this product?

As this is a permanent color, it is generally recommended to color only as needed for root touch-ups or when you want to refresh the overall color. Typically, this would be every 4-6 weeks, or as your roots grow out, to minimize potential hair stress.

What should I do if I get the foam in my eyes?

Rinse eyes immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Always wear the gloves provided and avoid contact with eyes during application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy Application: The foam consistency simplifies the coloring process, making it less messy and easier to apply evenly than traditional liquid or gel dyes.
  • Even Coverage: Helps prevent missed spots and streaks, leading to a more uniform color result.
  • Salon-Quality at Home: Offers professional-looking results without the need for a salon visit.
  • Long-Lasting Permanent Color: Provides durable color that resists fading over time.
  • Rich Color: Delivers deep, vibrant, and natural-looking tones.

Cons

  • Permanent Commitment: As a permanent dye, the color change is long-lasting and requires grow-out or another chemical process to alter significantly.
  • Potential for Mess: While less drippy, care is still needed during application to avoid staining skin or surfaces.
  • Requires Patch Test: A sensitivity patch test is essential 48 hours prior to use, which requires planning.
  • Not for Lightening Significantly Dark Hair: This shade is best for achieving medium natural blonde, not for drastic lightening of very dark hair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  • Read Instructions: Always read the enclosed instruction leaflet completely before beginning.
  • Patch Test: Perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each use, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the mixed product to a clean area of skin on the inner elbow or behind the ear. Do not wash, cover, or disturb for 48 hours. If any reaction occurs, do not use the product.
  • Strand Test: For best results, perform a strand test to determine optimal processing time and preview the final color on your hair. This is crucial as final color results can vary based on your current hair color, texture, porosity, and previous treatments.
  • Protect Surroundings: Lay down old towels or newspapers to protect surfaces. Wear old clothing that you don't mind getting stained.
  • Gather Tools: Ensure you have a timer, a comb (if needed for sectioning), and a damp cloth handy for immediate clean-up of any drips.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Suitable for adult use only.
  • Hair Type: Compatible with most hair types. However, results may vary. Perform a strand test to confirm.
  • Previous Treatments: Not recommended for use on hair that has been treated with henna or progressive dyes. If your hair has been relaxed, permed, or chemically straightened, wait at least two weeks before coloring.

Care

  • Post-Coloring Rinse: Rinse hair thoroughly after coloring until water runs clear.
  • Conditioning: Use the provided deep conditioning treatment immediately after coloring to seal the cuticle, lock in color, and add shine. For ongoing care, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
  • Minimize Washing: To extend color vibrancy, avoid washing your hair daily. Use dry shampoo between washes if necessary.
  • Heat Protection: Use a heat protectant spray when styling with hot tools to prevent color fade and damage.
  • Sun Protection: Prolonged sun exposure can fade hair color. Consider using UV protection hair products or wearing a hat outdoors.
