Prep your hair

  1. Start with dry, combed hair.
  2. Using a comb, part your hair down the middle into two sections.

Mix

Apply colour to brush

Roots

    Take the next section

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

      Around the ear

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

        1. Twirl the wand in the colour 2-3 times  to ensure there is plenty on the brush to apply to the hair

        2. Start on the part of the hairline where greys are most prominent.

        This will let these hairs process for the longest time to ensure grey coverage.

        3. Saturate the hair with colour

        4. Leave colour on for up to 60 minutes

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