RE: Amount of product

Always perform an allergy test according to the kit directions before applying any new color to your entire head. Allergies aren't to be taken lightly. Some allergies develop over time with repeated exposure. Just because EcoColors is p phenylenediamine (ppd) free, doesn't mean you won't react. There are other oxidative dyes present in nontoxic amounts that some individuals may be allergic to. Make sure to have a medical plan in place with your physician in case you do experience any kind of allergic symptom.    How to apply to new growth: Mix equal parts color to developer and apply this full strength mixture to roots only if you have previously colored ends. Processing time varies 30-45 minutes depending on gray. Strand test for proper processing time. For resistant gray, leave the color mixture on the grays for 45 minutes with plastic cap and heat for the first 5 minutes with a blow dryer.      How to color previously colored ends: ALWAYS apply a diluted formula on previously colored ends. Take the remaining full strength (equal parts color to developer) mixture, dilute it by half with distilled water, apply to your previously colored ends, and process for the last 5-10 minutes of your processing time. If your ends are porous, you always apply in a diluted formula to the ends.    Suggested color: Black and Dark Ash Brown    One kit is for one application. For very long/thick hair, you may consider getting two kits.    Root touch-up or saving color for future applications: Whatever color you do not mix with developer may be saved for the following month's application or stored for up to a year. Once you mix color and developer, you must use it immediately.
