1. Sensitivity test.

Carry out the sensitivity test 48 hours before each application. Using soap and water, clean a small area of skin behind your ear.

Apply a small quantity of hair colouring, ready for use.

Wait for 48 hours. If you notice any abnormal reactions such as: irritation, inflammation, do not use the hair colour. Otherwise, it can generally be assumed that there is no hypersensitivity to the hair colouring.

2. Prior to colouring.

Read the precautions for use before application
(see the instructions in the box).

Have a towel to hand, to protect your clothing, and a watch to time the development period.

Place the towel over your shoulder and put on the gloves.

TIP

To avoid marking the skin, before starting the colouring procedure, rub some oily cream on the skin around the hairline, keep clear of the hair roots.

3. Prepare the mixture.

Pour the contents of the bottle containing the colouring with plant extracts into the colour fixer bottle.

Screw the cap of the applicator bottle back on carefully and shake vigorously until the two are thoroughly mixed.

Unscrew the tip of the applicator bottle cap and start to apply immediately.

4. Apply to dry hair.

Application to the full length of the hair

To spread the mixture evenly, separate the hair into four sections using a comb and carefully apply the mixture to the roots. Then spread the mixture along the entire length of the hair, ensuring that you use all the mixture for best results. Work into the hair to ensure complete saturation and leave to act for 20 minutes (35 to 40 minutes if grey hair is difficult to cover).

Localised application to the roots

For a maintenance colour application, apply the mixture to the roots and leave to develop for 25 minutes. Then spread it along the length and leave to act for a further 10 minutes.

5. Rinse & care.

Before rinsing, work the application into an emulsion with a little tepid water and massage using circular movements.

After rinsing until the water runs clear, apply the hair balm (included in the box) in order to stabilise your hair colour.

Massage the hair gently for 2 minutes. Now complete the final rinse.

TIP

If in spite of precautions your skin is marked after application of Color & Soin® soak a cotton wool in some make-up removal lotion and rub.
