Mix

  1. Using kitchen scales, mix 50g of colour with 75g of the developer (if you have long thick hair, mix all the contents together).

If you need strong grey coverage (up to 90%), mix 50g of colour with 50g of the developer.

Roots

Hair colour hints

Want to know our top tips to get the best colour refresh results?    Read below <

1. The dark colour is for the roots and the lighter colour should be applied at the ends.

2. Choose colours that are most similar to the colour that your currently have.

This will enhance your current hair colour and add shine without darkening or lightening the hair.

3. Saturate the hair with colour

4. Leave colour on for up to 30 minutes

5. Try not to wash your hair 2-3 days after colouring
