FAQs
Do I need to pre-lighten first?
It’s designed to create bright highlights on dark hair without a separate pre-lightening step when used as directed.
Which developer should I use?
Use a compatible creme developer per the brand’s on-pack instructions. Choose the volume according to desired lift and hair condition.
Can I use it on previously coloured hair?
Yes, but always strand test first to preview lift, tone, and timing, especially on previously processed hair.
How do I maintain the tone?
Use a purple shampoo or toner to help reduce brass and maintain vibrancy, plus hydrating masks to keep hair soft.
Is a patch test necessary?
Yes. Perform a 48-hour allergy alert test before each use, even if you’ve coloured before.
Cautions: For external use on hair only. Perform a 48-hour patch test. Avoid eye contact; rinse immediately if contact occurs. Do not use on irritated or broken scalp. Follow all on-pack instructions.
