5. Maintenance and Aftercare

The #Pure Color Washout is a temporary hair color designed to fade gradually. The color typically lasts for 8 to 10 washes, depending on hair type and washing frequency.

Tips for Longevity and Hair Health:

• Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain the vibrancy of the temporary color.
• Rinse hair with cooler water, as hot water can cause color to fade faster.
• Limit excessive heat styling, which can also contribute to color fading.
• The moisturizing formula helps keep hair healthy and shiny during and after the coloring process.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Color not visible or too subtle: Ensure hair was towel-dried before application. For more intense results, some users have reported leaving the product on for a longer duration (e.g., up to 2 hours), though this is not officially recommended and may vary results. Ensure sufficient product was used, especially for longer or thicker hair (use 2 packs).
• Color fades too quickly: This is a washout product designed for temporary results (8-10 washes). Factors like frequent washing, hot water, and harsh shampoos can accelerate fading.
• Does not cover grey hair: This product is explicitly stated not to cover grey hair. For grey coverage, a permanent hair color is required.
• Allergic reaction: Immediately discontinue use and consult a medical professional. Always perform an allergy alert test 48 hours prior to each application.
