Safety Information

WARNING: For external use only. Hair color products can cause allergic reactions, which in certain rare cases can be severe. A skin allergy test must be conducted 48 hours before each time you color your hair, even if you have already used coloring products before. Follow all instructions carefully. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. If product gets into eyes, rinse immediately with water. Wear suitable gloves.

Setup and Preparation

1. Perform a Skin Allergy Test: 48 hours before application, apply a small amount of the mixed color product to a clean area of skin on the inner elbow. Leave it undisturbed for 48 hours. If any reaction such as redness, swelling, itching, or burning occurs, do not use the product.
2. Gather Materials: Ensure you have non-metallic mixing bowl, applicator brush, protective gloves, old towels to protect clothing and surfaces, and a timer.
3. Prepare Hair: For best results, apply to dry, unwashed hair. This allows natural oils to protect the scalp.
4. Mix Color Creme and Developer: Squeeze the entire contents of the color creme tube into a non-metallic bowl. Add the appropriate Schwarzkopf IGORA ROYAL Oil Developer (sold separately) according to the mixing ratio specified on the developer packaging or the product insert. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform cream is achieved.

Operating Instructions (Application)

1. Wear Gloves: Always wear the provided or suitable protective gloves throughout the application process.
2. Section Hair: Divide your hair into four sections using a comb.
3. First Application (Virgin Hair): Apply the color mixture evenly from mid-lengths to ends, leaving the root area untouched. Allow to process for the time specified in the product insert. Then, apply the remaining mixture to the roots and process for the additional time indicated.
4. Re-growth Application: Apply the color mixture to the root area only. Allow to process for the time specified in the product insert. For the last 5-10 minutes, emulsify the color through the mid-lengths and ends to refresh the color.
5. Processing Time: Refer to the specific instructions on the product packaging or insert for the exact processing time, as this can vary based on desired intensity and hair type. Do not exceed the recommended processing time.
6. Rinse: Once the processing time is complete, thoroughly rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
7. Condition: Apply a color-safe conditioner or post-color treatment. Leave on for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly.

Maintenance

• Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain color vibrancy and longevity.
• Avoid washing hair daily; consider dry shampoo between washes.
• Protect hair from excessive sun exposure and chlorine, which can fade color.
• Minimize heat styling or use a heat protectant spray to prevent color degradation.
• Regularly use a deep conditioning treatment to keep hair healthy and shiny.

Troubleshooting

• Uneven Color: Ensure thorough mixing of the color and developer. Apply evenly and saturate all hair strands. Porous hair may absorb color differently; consider a pre-treatment for porosity equalization.
• Color Too Dark/Light: Adhere strictly to the recommended processing times. Hair's natural pigment and previous treatments can affect the final shade.
• Scalp Irritation: If irritation occurs during or after application, rinse immediately. Refer to the Safety Information section and consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.
• Skin Staining: Apply a barrier cream (e.g., petroleum jelly) around the hairline before application. Immediately wipe off any color that gets on the skin with a damp cloth.
