4. Preparation Before Application

4.1 Allergy Alert Test

A skin allergy test must be conducted 48 hours before each application of this product. Clean a small area of skin behind the ear or on the inner surface of the forearm. Apply a small amount of the mixed colorant (color creme + developer) to this area. Leave it uncovered for 48 hours. If any reaction such as redness, swelling, itching, or burning occurs, do not use the product.

4.2 Hair Preparation

Ensure hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours prior to application to allow natural oils to protect the scalp. Detangle hair thoroughly.

4.3 Workspace Setup

Cover your work surface and wear old clothes to protect against stains. Have a non-metallic bowl, applicator brush, and timer ready.

5. Mixing Instructions

Igora Royal Permanent Color Creme is typically mixed with Igora Royal Oil Developer. The standard mixing ratio is 1:1 (e.g., 60g color creme + 60ml developer).

1. Put on protective gloves.
2. Squeeze the entire contents of the Igora Royal Permanent Color Creme tube (60g) into a non-metallic bowl.
3. Add an equal amount (60ml) of the appropriate Igora Royal Oil Developer (e.g., 10 Vol. for tone-on-tone or darker, 20 Vol. for 1-2 levels of lift and white hair coverage).
4. Mix thoroughly with a non-metallic applicator brush until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved.

6. Application Process

Apply the mixture immediately after mixing.

6.1 First-Time Application (Virgin Hair)

1. Divide hair into four sections.
2. Apply the color mixture to the mid-lengths and ends first, leaving the root area untouched. Ensure even saturation.
3. Allow to process for 10-15 minutes (refer to specific product instructions for exact timing).
4. Apply the remaining mixture to the roots.
5. Allow to process for an additional 30-35 minutes.

6.2 Re-growth Application (Root Touch-up)

1. Divide hair into four sections.
2. Apply the color mixture to the re-growth area only.
3. Allow to process for 30-40 minutes.
4. For an even result, emulsify the remaining color through the mid-lengths and ends for the last 5-10 minutes of processing time.

7. Processing Time

The total processing time for Igora Royal Permanent Color Creme is typically 30-45 minutes, depending on the desired intensity and hair type. Always refer to the specific instructions on the product packaging for precise timing.

Note: Do not exceed the recommended processing time.

8. Rinsing and Aftercare

1. After the processing time is complete, gently emulsify the color with a small amount of warm water.
2. Rinse hair thoroughly until the water runs clear.
3. Shampoo hair with a color-safe shampoo.
4. Apply a color-safe conditioner or treatment. Leave on for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly.
5. Style as desired.

9. Troubleshooting

9.1 Uneven Color Result

Ensure even saturation during application. For re-growth, ensure the mixture is applied only to the new growth before extending to mid-lengths and ends.

9.2 Color Too Dark/Light

Verify the correct developer volume and processing time were used. Consult a professional for corrective coloring.

9.3 Scalp Irritation

If irritation occurs, rinse immediately. Ensure an allergy alert test was performed. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
