4. Application Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for optimal results. If your hair is longer than shoulder length, two boxes of Keratin Color hair dye are recommended.

Step 1: Pre-Color Serum Application

Apply the protective pre-color serum to the tips and lengths of your dry, unwashed hair. This conditions the hair before toning for a more even color result from root to tip. Do not rinse.

Step 2: Color System Application

1. Mix the color cream and developer lotion thoroughly in the applicator bottle. Shake well until a uniform mixture is achieved.
2. Immediately apply the mixture to your hair, ensuring even saturation.
3. Allow the color to process for 30-45 minutes. Refer to the detailed timing instructions in the leaflet based on your desired intensity and hair type.
4. Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.

Step 3: Anti-Brass Purple Conditioner Treatment

After rinsing the color, apply the anti-brass purple conditioner with K-Bond Plex. Leave it on for the recommended time (usually a few minutes) to neutralize brassy and yellow undertones and provide a healthy-looking, cool-toned blonde result. Rinse thoroughly.

9. Troubleshooting & Support

Common Issues:

• Color not lifting sufficiently: Ensure correct application time and consider if your natural hair color is too dark for a single application to reach the desired lightness.
• Unwanted tones (e.g., orange, yellow): The Anti-Brass Purple Conditioner is designed to counteract these. Ensure it is applied correctly and left on for the recommended duration. Consistent use of purple toning products can help maintain cool tones.
• Hair feeling dry or damaged: The 3-step anti-breakage technology aims to minimize damage. Ensure you follow all steps, including the pre-color serum and post-color conditioner. Avoid over-processing.
