How to use

Prepare and use the hair dye following the manufacturer’s instructions included in the package. Mix the colourant with the recommended volume of developer to achieve the desired lift and tone. Apply to dry, unwashed hair or on pre-lightened hair as specified, starting from the roots and working through to the ends for even coverage. Leave the product on for the time indicated in the instructions, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear and follow with any recommended post-colour conditioners or treatments.

Usage recommendations

Perform an allergy patch test 48 hours before application. For best results on dark natural hair, pre-lightening to the required level is recommended. Choose developer strength based on the level of lift needed and follow timing guidance to avoid over-processing. Use colour-safe shampoos and conditioners to maintain the smokey grey tone and prolong wear.
