FAQs
Is John Frieda Precision Foam Colour a permanent dye?
Yes, John Frieda Precision Foam Colour is a permanent hair dye. It is designed to deliver rich, long-lasting color that does not wash out.
How much product is included in one box?
Each box of John Frieda Precision Foam Colour contains 130ml of the hair color formulation, which is generally sufficient for full coverage of medium to long hair.
Can this product be used on gray hair?
Yes, this permanent foam color is formulated to provide even and natural-looking coverage, including effective coverage of gray hair.
How long does the color last?
As a permanent hair dye, the color is designed to last until your hair grows out or is recolored. Its longevity can be extended by using color-safe hair care products.
Is a patch test necessary for every application?
Yes, it is crucial to perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before *every* single use of this product, even if you have used hair dye before, as allergies can develop unexpectedly.
How does the foam application work compared to traditional liquid dyes?
The foam formula expands to fully saturate your hair, making it significantly easier to apply evenly, particularly to hard-to-reach areas like the back of the head, ensuring consistent color distribution and reducing mess.
Troubleshooting
Color did not come out as expected (too light/dark)
Ensure you followed the exact processing time recommended for your starting hair color. Factors like hair porosity and previous treatments can affect the final shade. For future use, perform a strand test to determine the optimal processing time.
Uneven color or missed spots after application
The foam formulation is designed for even coverage. Ensure you sectioned your hair properly and thoroughly massaged the foam into all areas, especially the back of your head. Use a mirror to check for complete saturation during application.
Scalp irritation or redness after use
Immediately rinse hair thoroughly with cool water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Always perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before *every* coloring session, as sensitivities can develop over time.
Stains on skin or surfaces
Immediately wipe any spills or drips with a damp cloth. For skin, gently rub with a damp cotton ball. Applying petroleum jelly around the hairline, ears, and neck before coloring can significantly reduce skin staining. Always wear the provided gloves.
