Instructions for use and storage rules for paint
2 days before staining, you should check for a possible allergic reaction of the skin to the paint components by staining a small area at the roots.
If for all the time the paint has not given a reaction, then you can start painting the entire head:
- Before dyeing, you need to wet your hair (do not wash), and then dry well with a towel. This must be done for more intense coloring.
- It is best to leave a towel on your shoulders to protect clothing from paint during the procedure.
- Next, you need to wear gloves to protect your hands from paint.
- Then you should mix the components well by squeezing the entire contents of the tube into a bottle with developing milk, closing with an applicator nozzle and shaking vigorously.
- Staining should be started by staining the roots. Due to the consistency of the paint, it does not flow, which allows you to safely use it at home without additional assistance.
- After 5-10 minutes after the completion of coloring the roots, the paint should be distributed evenly over the entire length of the hair and wait the required time for complete coloring. The time depends on the desired shade: the longer you keep the paint, the more intense the coloring will be. Dyeing time should not exceed 40 minutes.
- Then you should rinse your head with plenty of water until it is transparent, and then apply the nourishment and shine balm on wet hair and leave for 2 minutes. At this stage, it is not recommended to use shampoos and other detergents.
- After the hair can be dried with a hairdryer or naturally.
It is better not to store the diluted paint in principle, since exposure to an oxidizing agent alone in a fairly short time loses its coloring ability, therefore it is better to mix the components in portions so that you do not have to throw out the remaining mixture.
Undiluted paint has a shelf life of 3 years. However, the hydrogen peroxide contained in the developing milk tends to disintegrate in the light, thus losing its properties. Therefore, the paint should be stored in a dark place, away from sunlight and children.
Hair care after the procedure
When re-dyeing, you must wait at least 2 weeks to allow the hair to recover, and to wash the paint a little for a more even coloring.
It is recommended to use special gentle shampoos and other hair care products from the “for colored hair” lines in order to preserve the resulting shade as long as possible. It is necessary to choose products without sulfates, as they aggravate the condition of the hair, especially after dyeing.
For daily styling, use special oils or conditioners to protect hair from thermal effects.
