4. Setup and Preparation

Before you begin the coloring process, ensure you have all necessary items and have completed the allergy patch test.

1. Perform Allergy Patch Test: 48 hours before coloring, apply a small amount of the mixed product to a clean area of skin behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Leave it for 48 hours. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
2. Gather Materials: You will need an old towel to protect your clothes, a timer, and a non-metallic bowl if you prefer to mix in a bowl (though the developer bottle can be used for mixing).
3. Protect Your Skin: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a rich cream around your hairline to prevent staining.
4. Wear Gloves: Put on the provided gloves before handling any of the product components.
5. Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours prior to application, unless otherwise specified in the instruction leaflet.

5. Operating Instructions (Application)

Follow these steps carefully for optimal results:

1. Mix the Colour: Unscrew the cap of the Developer Cream (Bottle A). Pierce the seal of the Colourant Cream (Tube B) with the cap. Squeeze the entire contents of Tube B into Bottle A. Replace the cap on Bottle A and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
2. Apply to Hair: Immediately after mixing, unscrew the tip of the applicator bottle. Apply the hair color product to dry, unwashed hair. For full head application, distribute the mixture evenly from roots to ends. For root touch-up, apply to roots first, then distribute through the rest of the hair for the last few minutes.
3. Development Time: Leave the color on for 20 to 30 minutes. Refer to the instruction leaflet for specific timing based on your desired intensity and hair type. Do not exceed the recommended development time.
4. Rinse: Once the development time is complete, add a small amount of warm water to your hair and gently massage to emulsify the color. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
5. Apply Conditioner: Apply the entire sachet of Colour Care Conditioner (C) to your hair. Massage gently and leave on for 2-3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

6. Maintenance and Aftercare

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

• Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help preserve your hair color.
• Limit washing your hair to every other day or less frequently to prevent premature fading.
• Protect your hair from excessive sun exposure, which can cause color to fade.
• Regularly use the provided Colour Care Conditioner or a similar nourishing treatment to keep hair soft and shiny.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during or after coloring, consider the following:

• Color Not as Expected: Ensure you followed the development time precisely. Hair porosity and previous treatments can affect the final shade. Consult the shade guide on the product packaging for expected results based on your starting hair color.
• Incomplete Grey Coverage: Ensure even application, especially on resistant grey areas. Increase development time slightly within the recommended limits if necessary for future applications.
• Scalp Irritation: If irritation occurs during application, rinse immediately. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Always perform a patch test before each use.
• Uneven Color: Ensure the product was mixed thoroughly and applied evenly to all sections of the hair. Sectioning hair before application can help achieve more uniform results.
