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;

  • 50g of colour
  • 75g of the developer

If you need strong grey coverage, mix 50g of colour with 50g of the developer (this is our grey coverage mix).

STEP THREE

Apply to your roots

1. With a small scoop of colour on your brush start to paint the colour directly onto your regrowth – on both sides of your part.

2. In small 2 cm sections parallel to your part, work your way down one side of the head. Use the pointy end side of the brush to take the sections. Pinch the hair above the brush and lift.

3. Repeat the steps above on the other side of the head.

4. Paint in an upward motion around the ear to avoid getting colour on your skin

5. Repeat on step above on back section. Take small 2 cm sections, using the pointy end side of the brush to take the sections.

6. Repeat the same action for the back and around the neck. Lift the sections up to the top of your head and paint in an upward motion to avoid colour on your skin.

When finished, set your timer for 20minutes or per your individual instructions.

Step four

Mid-lengthens & Ends

1. After 15 mins, start with the same section and side of the head you did the roots, now take 4cm sections.

2. Place your hand under the section and paint onto your mid lengths and ends of the hair using your hand as a support ‘backing’ for the brush.

3. With both hands milk the sections to ensure even spread of colour. Set timer for 5 min.

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.
