Application

Always refer to the detailed instructions provided in the package insert, as application steps may vary slightly by shade and hair condition. The general steps are as follows:

1. Mix & Shake: Pour the Protective Color Cream into the Developer Crème applicator bottle. Close the bottle and shake thoroughly until the mixture is completely blended.
2. Apply & Saturate: Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots and working your way to the ends. Ensure all hair is thoroughly saturated for even coverage, especially gray areas.
3. Process: Leave the color on for the time specified in the instruction leaflet (typically 20-30 minutes, or longer for stubborn grays).
4. Rinse & Condition: Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Apply the Caring Shampoo, lather, and rinse. Follow with the Caring Deep Conditioner, leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse.

Troubleshooting

• Uneven Color: Ensure hair is fully saturated during application. Sectioning hair can help achieve more even coverage.
• Color Not as Expected: Hair porosity, previous chemical treatments, and natural hair color can influence the final result. Always perform a strand test if unsure.
• Allergic Reaction: Discontinue use immediately if you experience itching, burning, or swelling. Consult a medical professional. Always perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before each use.
• Stains on Skin: Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) around the hairline before application. Immediately wipe off any accidental stains with a damp cloth.
