Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Mandatory Patch Test: Always 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 unmixed product (following instructions in the box) behind your ear or on the inner elbow. Wait 48 hours. If any reaction occurs, do not use the product.
- Strand Test: Before full application, it's recommended to perform a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair. This helps predict the exact color result and optimal processing time on your specific hair type.
- Gather Supplies: Ensure you have an old towel, gloves (provided in the box), a timer, and a non-metallic bowl and brush if the product requires mixing outside the applicator bottle.
- Protect Surroundings: Cover your workspace and wear old clothes to prevent staining.
Compatibility
This Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color permanent hair dye is suitable for all hair types. However, results may vary slightly depending on your original hair color, porosity, and texture.
Post-Coloring Care
- Rinse Thoroughly: After processing, rinse hair until the water runs clear.
- Condition: Use the included conditioner to seal the cuticle and add shine.
- Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair to help maintain vibrancy and prevent premature fading.
- Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat can cause color to fade. Use heat protectants if styling with heat tools.
- Sun Protection: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade hair color. Consider wearing a hat or using UV protection hair products.
