For the best color payoff, we recommend applying the color to clean, dry hair that is free from heavy styling products.
Products such as grease, oils, pomades, mousse, gel, edge control, leave-in conditioners, hair sprays, and other styling products can create a barrier on the hair shaft that may prevent the color from adhering properly and displaying at its fullest vibrancy.
Before applying the color:
• Wash and thoroughly dry the hair.
• Avoid applying grease, oils, pomades, mousse, gel, or hair spray beforehand.
• Ensure there is no product buildup on the hair.
• Apply the color directly to the hair for maximum visibility and color payoff.
Hair color, texture, porosity, product buildup, and lighting conditions can also affect how vibrant a color appears.
For the best results, we recommend testing the color on a small section of clean, product-free hair first.
