10 MINUTE HAIRCOLOR BEFORE YOU COLOR

We always recommend that before any hair color service you perform a patch test. This test will help identify if you have sensitivity to using a hair color. Perform test at least 48 hours before hair color service even if you have experienced using hair color products before.

PATCH TEST

• Mix a small amount of hair color with the enclosed developer in a plastic bowl.

• Use a cotton swab to apply a quarter sized amount to a small area of skin behind your ear or inside your elbow.

• Keep area dry and wait 48 hours.

• If there is a change to the area, do not use. Consult with a doctor if you have any questions or concern. STRAND TEST A strand test helps determine the timing and the color result.

• Take a small amount of hair in the nape of the neck and clip the rest of the hair out of the way.

• Mix a small amount of color and completely saturate the hair strand. Process for 10 minutes.

• Rinse the color to see if this is the desired result. If not, do not proceed with application.
