Safety Information

Always perform an allergy alert test 48 hours before each use of this product, even if you have previously used coloring products. This test is crucial to prevent potential allergic reactions.

• Do not use this product if your scalp is irritated, sensitive, or damaged.
• Wear the provided gloves throughout the entire coloring process.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water. Consult a doctor if irritation persists.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Preparation / Setup

Before you begin, ensure you have all necessary items ready:

• Schwarzkopf Brillance Permanent Hair Color kit.
• An old towel to protect your clothes.
• A clock or timer for accurate processing time.
• Hair clips to section your hair.

Allergy Alert Test (48 hours prior)

1. Mix a small, equal amount of the color cream and developer in a non-metallic bowl.
2. Apply a small amount of the mixture to a clean area of skin behind your ear or on the inner elbow.
3. Leave it uncovered for 48 hours. Do not wash, cover, or touch the area.
4. If you experience any reaction such as itching, redness, or swelling, do not use this product.

Mixing the Color

Put on the provided gloves. Open the color cream tube and the developer bottle. Carefully mix the Shade Shot with your color cream and activator (developer) in the application bottle or a non-metallic bowl according to the instructions on the product packaging. Shake well until a homogeneous mixture is formed. Use immediately.

Application / Operating Instructions

Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed before application. Protect your clothing with an old towel.

Full Head Application (First-time coloring or significant regrowth)

1. Apply the mixture strand by strand to your entire hair, starting from the roots.
2. Distribute the color evenly using your fingers or a comb.
3. Leave the color to develop for the time specified in the product leaflet (typically 30-45 minutes, refer to specific packaging for exact timing).

Root Regrowth Application

1. Apply two-thirds of the mixture to the dry root area only.
2. Leave to develop for the time specified for roots (typically 20-30 minutes).
3. Apply the remaining mixture to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.
4. Leave to develop for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Aftercare / Maintenance

Rinsing

1. After the development time, add a small amount of warm water to your hair and massage gently to emulsify the color.
2. Rinse your hair thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Conditioning

1. Apply the specially formulated Brillance Color Shine Conditioner (or similar after-treatment) to your wet hair.
2. Leave it on for 2-3 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly. This conditioner helps to seal the color, provide intense shine, and improve hair structure.

For optimal color maintenance, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive washing and exposure to harsh sunlight or chlorinated water, which can fade color.
