• Limit washing frequency to preserve color.
• Protect your hair from excessive sun exposure and chlorine, which can fade color.
• Regularly use nourishing hair masks or treatments to keep hair hydrated and healthy.

6. Troubleshooting

• Incomplete Grey Coverage: Ensure the product was applied evenly and left on for the full recommended processing time. For stubborn grey areas, ensure sufficient product saturation.

• Color Fading Quickly: Hair color longevity can be affected by hair porosity, washing frequency, and exposure to harsh elements. Ensure proper post-application care as described in Section 5.
• Uneven Color: This can occur if the product was not distributed uniformly. Ensure thorough saturation of all hair sections during application.
