- 1 Pair of Protective Gloves
3.2 Pre-Application Steps
- Perform Allergy Alert Test: 48 hours before application, apply a small amount of product to a clean patch of skin behind the ear or on the inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or disturb. If any reaction occurs, do not use the product.
- Prepare Your Hair: For best results, apply to clean, towel-dried hair. Ensure your hair is pre-lightened or naturally blonde for the most vibrant color outcome.

4. Operating (Application)
4.1 Application Instructions
Visual guide for the application process.
- Prepare Color: For an intense color, use the colorant cream on its own. To create a pastel shade, mix a small amount of the colorant cream with your regular conditioner in a non-metallic bowl.
- Apply to Hair: Apply the mixture evenly to towel-dried hair, ensuring full saturation for desired intensity.
- Processing Time: Leave the color on for 20-30 minutes. For more intense results, you may extend the processing time slightly, but do not exceed 45 minutes.
- Rinse Hair: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Condition: Apply a LIVE Care Conditioner (if provided, or your preferred conditioner) and leave it in for 2 minutes.
- Final Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly once more.
4.2 Expected Results
Color results vary based on your starting hair condition.
The vibrancy and intensity of the Shocking Pink shade will depend on your hair's initial color and porosity. Bleached blonde hair will yield the most vivid and true-to-shade results, while light blonde hair will also show significant color. The color is semi-permanent and designed to gradually fade over approximately 15 washes.

5. Maintenance
To help maintain the vibrancy of your Shocking Pink hair color and extend its life:
- Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
- Wash your hair with cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can cause color to fade faster.
- Limit hair washing frequency.
- Avoid excessive heat styling.
- Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can also cause fading.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Color is not as vibrant as expected. | Hair was not light enough before application; insufficient processing time. | Ensure hair is pre-lightened to a very light blonde for maximum vibrancy. Increase processing time within recommended limits. |
| Color fades too quickly. | Frequent washing; use of non-color-safe products; hot water washing. | Reduce washing frequency, use color-safe products, wash with cool water. |
| Not enough product for full coverage. | Long or very thick hair. | For long or thick hair, it is recommended to purchase two or more boxes to ensure adequate coverage. |
