2. Safety Information

Important: Hair colorants can cause severe allergic reactions. Read and follow instructions carefully. This product is not intended for use on persons under the age of 16. Temporary "black henna" tattoos may increase your risk of allergy.

2.1. Allergy Alert Test (Skin Patch Test)

You must perform an allergy alert test 48 hours before each time you color, even if you have already used coloring products before. This test is a crucial step to ensure your safety. Failure to do so may result in severe allergic reactions.

1. Cleanse a small area of skin behind the ear or on the inner surface of the forearm with soap and water.
2. Apply a small amount of the unmixed colorant (tube labeled "Colorant") to the cleansed area using a cotton swab.
3. Allow the spot to dry. Do not wash, cover, or disturb for 48 hours.
4. If you experience any reaction such as itching, redness, swelling, or irritation during this period, do not use this product. Rinse immediately.

2.2. General Precautions

• Do not use if you have a rash on your face or sensitive, irritated, or damaged scalp.
• Do not use if you have ever experienced any reaction after coloring your hair or after a temporary "black henna" tattoo.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If product gets into eyes, rinse immediately with water.
• Wear suitable gloves provided in the kit.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• For external use only. Do not swallow.
• Haircolor results can be affected by permanent waving, straightening, overexposure to the sun, previous coloring, and other stress factors.

3. Preparation and Setup

Before you begin, ensure you have read all instructions and performed the allergy alert test. Gather all necessary items and prepare your workspace.

3.1. What's in the Box

Your REVLON ColorSilk kit typically includes:

• Ammonia-Free Colorant
• Cream Developer
• After-Color Conditioner
• Application Instructions
• Gloves

3.2. Workspace Preparation

• Protect your clothing and surrounding surfaces with old towels or newspapers.
• Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
• Have a non-metallic bowl and brush ready if you prefer not to use the applicator bottle.
• Apply petroleum jelly or a thick cream around your hairline to prevent skin staining.

3.3. Hair Preparation

For best results, your hair should be dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours prior to coloring. This allows natural oils to protect your scalp.

Preview/Strand Test: To see how your new color will work on your hair, especially if your hair has been previously treated (permed, straightened, or colored), perform a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair before full application.

4.1. Mixing the Color

1. Pour the entire contents of the Ammonia-Free Colorant tube into the Cream Developer applicator bottle.
2. Replace the applicator cap and shake the bottle vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
3. Immediately snip off the tip of the applicator bottle to prevent bursting.

4.2. Application to Hair

For First-Time Application (or significant regrowth):

1. Apply the color mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots and working your way down to the ends. Ensure even saturation.
2. Leave the color on for 25 minutes. For resistant gray hair, leave on for an additional 5 minutes (total 30 minutes).

For Root Touch-Up (or previously colored hair):

1. Apply the color mixture to the root area only, where new growth is visible.
2. Leave on for 20 minutes.
3. Apply the remaining mixture to the rest of your hair and leave on for an additional 5 minutes.

4.3. Rinsing and Conditioning

1. When the processing time is complete, add a small amount of warm water to your hair and gently massage to emulsify the color.
2. Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
3. Apply the After-Color Conditioner generously to your hair. Leave on for 2-3 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Maintenance and Aftercare

To maintain your new hair color and keep your hair healthy, follow these tips:

• Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
• Limit washing your hair to every other day or less frequently to preserve color.
• Protect your hair from excessive sun exposure, which can fade color.
• Consider using heat protectant sprays when styling with heat tools.
• Regular trims help keep ends healthy and prevent split ends.
