This semi-permanent hair dye works by gently depositing radiant Amber Red color onto your hair without the use of ammonia, which means a less harsh experience and typically no strong chemical odors. The innovative 10% Glycolic Gloss Complex is integral to its performance, actively working to smooth the hair cuticle and reflect light, resulting in a significantly glossy finish and a noticeably silkier texture. Users can expect a vibrant, natural-looking Amber Red shade that blends well and enhances their natural hair color. The color gradually fades over approximately 32 shampoos, making it an excellent choice for refreshing an existing shade, trying a new look without long-term commitment, or adding a rich, conditioning sheen to your hair. It is particularly effective for achieving a vibrant tint on lighter hair or adding a warm, glossy red tone to darker bases. The conditioning aspect leaves hair feeling soft and looking healthy post-application.
Setup:
Perform a Patch Test: Absolutely crucial. Apply a small amount of the dye mixture to a discreet area of skin (e.g., behind the ear) 48 hours before full application to check for any allergic reaction. Do not proceed if irritation occurs.
Read Instructions: Carefully review the entire instruction leaflet inside the product packet before you begin.
Prepare: Put on the gloves provided. Mix the colorant and developer cream thoroughly as per the packet instructions.
Application: Apply the mixture evenly to dry, unwashed hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Ensure full saturation.
Timing: Leave the mixture on for the recommended development time specified in the instructions.
Rinse & Condition: After the development time, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Then, apply the included conditioner, leave it on for a few minutes, and rinse again.
