HOW TO DYE
Before Starting:
1. Use hair dye only as directed without addition of other substances. ONLY use a plastic bowl, NEVER metal.
2. NEVER add peroxide to hair color. Do not use alkaline products. Low pH, non-alcohol based products are recommended.
3. For best results, hair should be porous, bleached or tinted. Only partial or no color action will occur on unprocessed hair. Colors will give a highlight effect to unbleached dark hair. Conduct a patch test:
a. Select a small test area, behind the ear or inner fold of elbow.
b. Wash test area with mild soap and water. Dab dry with a clean towel.
c. Cover the clean test area with a thin coat of the hair color.
d. Allow the test area to dry. Leave uncovered, undisturbed for 24 hours.
e. Examine the area. If there are any signs of redness, burning, itching or blisters, do not use the product.
4. A strand test is recommended to see what the results will be.
