Overview

Step-by-step guide...

STEP ONE

Set-up & Prep

We recommend wearing a button-up shirt when colouring (makes everything a whole lot easier at the end).

Put on your gloves and cape, then starting with dry combed hair part it down the middle into two sections.

STEP TWO

Time to mix...

Using your kitchen scales, mix;

  • 20g of colour
  • 20g of the developer

(This is the Grey Coverage touch-up mix). 

STEP THREE

Add your colour to the touch-up brush

1. Scoop a small amount of colour onto the paint brush. Hold it still while using a twisting motion with the touch-up brush to transfer the colour.

2.Ensure the touch-up brush is saturated with colour. 

STEP FOUR

Brush on your colour

1. Using the touch-up brush that is saturated with colour, start to paint the colour directly on to your regrowth – where your greys are most prominent.

2. In small 2 cm sections parallel to your part work your way down the hairline on one side of the head. 

3. Be sure to completely saturate the hair with colour. 

4. Hold the pieces of hair around the ear with a small amount of tension.

Using a twisting motion with the brush, slide the colour from where your hair starts at the root to where the grey hairs end.

5. Repeat the above steps on the other side of your head all the way down the hairline. 

6. Once your hair is all painted, set a timer for 30 minutes.

Wash your colour out

Wash your hair by double shampooing your roots and conditioning from roots to ends.

How long does the colour last?

MIIROKO hair colour lasts 4-6 weeks depending on your hair type. If you find your hair fades quickly we recommend setting the colour subscription to every 4 weeks so that you are covered.

Is it a permanent hair colour?
Our colours are technically a demi-permanent, which means they are in-between a semi-permanent and permanent colour. It takes to the hair like a permanent and will start fading at the 4-6 week mark like a semi-permanent.
