The Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye in 4.46 Intense Dark Red is engineered for delivering a striking, professional-quality color at home. The 'Intense Dark Red' shade is formulated to provide a deep, vibrant red hue that catches the light and adds dimension.
Upon application, the ammonia-free formula works to deposit color effectively without harsh fumes. Users can expect the dye to fully cover even resistant grey hairs, providing a uniform base for the multidimensional color.
The key to its performance is the AHA Bonding Treatment. Applied after rinsing out the color, this treatment seals the hair cuticle, much like a top coat for nails. This action not only locks in the vibrant red pigments but also reinforces the hair's internal structure. This leads to hair that not only looks beautifully colored but also feels stronger and healthier, with enhanced shine.
For best results and to ensure the color develops as intended, precise adherence to the instructions regarding mixing, application, and timing is crucial. The 'multidimensional' aspect means the color won't appear flat; instead, it will have subtle variations that contribute to a more natural and dynamic look, even in a bold shade like intense dark red. Its permanent nature ensures that this vibrant color endures through washes, providing long-lasting vibrancy until regrowth appears.
To ensure a safe and successful coloring experience with Clairol Colour Strong Permanent Hair Dye, follow these guidelines carefully.
Perform a Skin Allergy Test (Patch Test): This is crucial and must be done 48 hours before each application, even if you have colored your hair before. Apply a small amount of the mixed dye product to a patch of skin behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Do not wash, cover, or touch the area for 48 hours. If you experience any reaction, do not use the product.
Conduct a Strand Test: Before full application, apply the dye to a small, hidden section of hair to check the color result and processing time. This helps you achieve your desired shade.
Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is dry and unwashed for at least 24-48 hours prior to coloring (unless otherwise specified in the enclosed instructions).
Protect Yourself and Your Surroundings: Wear the gloves provided. Drape an old towel around your shoulders and protect surfaces from splashes.
Mix the Product: Follow the specific mixing instructions for the colorant and developer precisely.
Apply Evenly: Section your hair and apply the mixture thoroughly, ensuring even saturation for uniform color. Pay attention to grey areas first if applicable.
Process: Leave the dye on for the recommended time specified in the instructions. Do not exceed this time.
Rinse & Treat: Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Apply the AHA Bonding Treatment, leave on for the recommended time, then rinse again.
