Apply section by section
Put on the gloves.
Wet the hair without washing it.
Towel dry.
Apply the mixture to the roots,
by parting the hair into sections
using the applicator nozzle.
Then spread it all over the hair.
Massage
Massage the hair gently. Work up a lather.
The colour of the product will become
darker and darker
Don’t worry.
After the development time,
the colour will have developed fully:
that way you are sure to
obtain the shade you chose.
Let it develop for 30 minutes
Rinse
Pour a little warm water on the hair
and massage gently.
Rinse thoroughly
with warm water
until the water runs clear.
