Preparation Before Coloring (Setup)
Before you begin the coloring process, ensure you have completed the 48-hour allergy test and gathered all necessary items.
- Protect Your Clothing and Surfaces: Drape an old towel over your shoulders and protect surrounding surfaces from spills.
- Wear Gloves: Put on the gloves provided in the kit.
- Hair Condition: For best results, apply to dry, unwashed hair.
Application Instructions (Operating)
Step 1: Mixing the Color
- Pour the entire contents of the Ammonia-Free Colorant (Bottle 2) into the Cream Developer (Bottle 1).
- Replace the applicator cap and shake vigorously until the mixture is completely blended.
- Immediately snip off the tip of the applicator bottle and begin application. Do not store the mixed product.
Step 2: Applying the Color
There are two methods of application depending on whether you are coloring for the first time or touching up roots.
Full Head Application (First Time Coloring or Significant Regrowth)
- Apply the color mixture to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots. Work through the hair, ensuring even saturation.
- Gently massage the mixture into your hair.
Root Touch-Up Application
- Apply the color mixture to the root area only, where gray hair is most prominent or where your natural hair color is showing.
- Leave on for the recommended root processing time (refer to 'Processing Time' section).
- After the root processing time, apply the remaining mixture to the rest of your hair and gently work through for even distribution.
Processing Time (Operating)
The processing time depends on your hair type and desired gray coverage. Always refer to the detailed instructions inside your kit for precise timing.
- Standard Processing: Typically 25 minutes for full head application.
- Stubborn Grays: For resistant gray hair, you may need to leave the color on for an additional 5-10 minutes, up to a maximum of 35 minutes total.
- Root Touch-Up: Apply to roots for 20 minutes, then apply to the rest of the hair for an additional 5 minutes.
Rinsing and Conditioning (Operating)
- Once the processing time is complete, add a small amount of warm water to your hair and gently massage to emulsify the color.
- Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
- Apply the entire contents of the After-Color Conditioner (Packet 3) to your hair. Leave on for 2-3 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Expected Color Results
The final color result can vary based on your current hair color, texture, and condition. Shade 61, Dark Blonde, is designed to provide a rich, natural dark blonde tone. Refer to the color chart below to estimate your outcome.
Image: Color chart for Revlon ColorSilk Dark Blonde (Shade 61), showing expected results on Light/Medium Blonde, Dark Blonde/Light Brown, and Medium Brown hair.
As shown in the chart, if your starting hair color is Light/Medium Blonde, the result will be a slightly deeper, richer Dark Blonde. If your hair is Dark Blonde/Light Brown, you will achieve a vibrant Dark Blonde. For Medium Brown hair, the result will be a lighter, warm Dark Blonde.
Color Maintenance Tips
To help maintain your new hair color and keep your hair healthy:
- Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
- Limit washing your hair to every other day or less frequently.
- Protect your hair from excessive sun exposure, which can fade color.
- Consider using heat protectant sprays when styling with heat tools.
- Regularly use a deep conditioning treatment to keep hair moisturized.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Color is too dark: This can happen if the color was left on for too long or if your hair was very porous. Clarifying shampoos can help lighten the color over several washes.
- Color is too light or uneven: Ensure even saturation during application. If gray coverage is insufficient, increase processing time slightly in future applications (up to maximum recommended).
- Scalp irritation: If irritation occurs, rinse immediately. Always perform a skin allergy test 48 hours prior to use.
