HAIR COLOR MIXING AND APPLICATION

Make sure you gently shake the bottles to blend all the natural oils before mixing.

To prepare the hair color, mix equal parts hair color to developer, this is referred to as "full strength". (So 1:1 ratio hair color and developer.)

When covering gray hair, be sure to apply the color mixture full strength to the new growth.
Apply a plastic hair cap and heat under a dryer or heat lamp for 5 minutes. Then remove the client from the heat source. Leave on the plastic cap and allow processing time for 30 to 45 more minutes depending on the resistance of the gray hair.

If you would like to re-pigment the previous colored ends, dilute your remaining hair color mixture by half water (filtered water is best) and apply the hair color to the previously colored hair.

Allow to process 5 more minutes.
Never apply full strength (20 volume developer) hair color to previously colored ends.
Always apply 10 volume developer or less to previously colored ends.

Watch the hair when using Fast and Extra Fast developers to desired shade.
