Preparation

1. Shampoo Hair: Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo. Do not use conditioner before applying the dye.
2. Dry Hair: Ensure your hair is completely dry before application.
3. Pre-lighten Hair (Recommended): For the most vibrant and true-to-shade results, apply to pre-lightened hair at level 8 or lighter. The color may appear differently on darker hair tones.
4. Protect Skin: Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent staining.
5. Wear Gloves: Always wear protective gloves during application to avoid staining your hands.

Application

1. Section Hair: Divide your dry, clean hair into small, manageable sections.
2. Apply Color Evenly: Using a tint brush or gloved hands, apply the Electric Paradise hair dye evenly to each section of hair. Ensure complete saturation for uniform color.

Processing

1. Processing Time: Leave the color in for at least 30 minutes. For best results, you may leave it on for a longer duration, up to several hours, as it is a conditioning formula and will not damage your hair.
2. Cover Hair: For best results, cover your hair with a plastic cap during the processing time.
3. Apply Heat (Optional): To enhance color absorption and vibrancy, you may process with heat using a blow dryer for up to 15 minutes.

Rinsing & Aftercare

1. Rinse Hair: Rinse your hair in cold water away from your face until the water runs clear. Cold water helps to seal the cuticle and lock in the color.
2. Condition: Apply a color-safe conditioner to help moisturize and detangle your hair. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Dry & Style: Gently towel dry your hair and style as desired.

Tips for Best Results

• Pre-lightening: For the most vivid neon pink, ensure your hair is pre-lightened to a level 8 or lighter.
• Even Application: Work in small sections and ensure every strand is saturated with dye for uniform color.
• Processing Time: Leaving the dye on for longer than 30 minutes can result in a more intense and longer-lasting color.
• Cold Water Rinse: Always rinse with cold water to minimize color bleed and prolong vibrancy.

Color Longevity & Maintenance

• Wash Less Frequently: To extend the life of your color, wash your hair as infrequently as possible.
• Use Cold Water: Continue to use cold water when washing your hair.
• Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for color-treated hair.
• Avoid Heat Styling: Excessive heat from styling tools can cause color to fade faster. Use heat protectants if heat styling is necessary.
• UV Protection: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Consider using UV-protective hair products or wearing hats.

Troubleshooting

• Color Fading Quickly: This is a semi-permanent dye, and color will fade with each wash. Factors like hair type, condition, porosity, and styling habits can affect longevity. To slow fading, follow the maintenance tips above.
• Uneven Color: Ensure hair is evenly saturated during application. Working in small sections and thoroughly distributing the dye helps prevent patchiness.
• Color Not as Vibrant: The vibrancy of the color is highly dependent on your hair's base color. For maximum vibrancy, apply to pre-lightened hair (level 8 or lighter).
