Using Ion Color Brilliance Pre Color Treatment is a simple step to prepare your hair for coloring. According to the product instructions, Prior to color application, apply to clean dry hair. Comb through without rinsing and proceed with hair color application.
Applying a pre-color treatment like Ion Color Brilliance helps to equalize the porosity of your hair, which can lead to more even color results, especially on damaged or porous areas. It acts as a primer, ensuring that the hair dye absorbs uniformly from root to tip.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
- Prepare Your Hair: Begin with hair that is clean and dry. This means washing your hair beforehand and ensuring it is completely dry before applying the treatment. Excess moisture can dilute the product and affect its performance.
- Apply the Treatment: Distribute the Ion Color Brilliance Pre Color Treatment evenly throughout your hair. Make sure to cover all areas that will be colored. Pay special attention to the ends and any areas that tend to be drier or more porous.
- Comb Through: After applying the treatment, comb through your hair. This ensures even distribution and helps the product penetrate effectively. Using a wide-tooth comb can make this easier, especially on damp hair (though the instructions specify dry hair for application, combing while distributing the product helps).
- Do Not Rinse: It's crucial without rinsing the treatment. The treatment is designed to remain on the hair as you apply the color. Rinsing it out would defeat its purpose.
- Proceed with Color: Once the treatment is applied and combed through, you are ready to proceed with hair color application immediately as per your chosen hair color product's instructions.
