To use Color + Clenditioner, simply apply it to wet or dry hair, let it sit for 3-20 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and style as usual. You don't need to shampoo before or condition after using it.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Preparation: This product works best on clean hair, but does not require pre-shampooing.
- Application:
- For more vibrant color deposit, apply to dry hair.
- For a less intense result, apply to wet hair.
- Apply generously, ensuring even distribution throughout your hair.
- Processing Time: Leave the Clenditioner on for 3-20 minutes, depending on your desired color intensity. The longer it sits, the more vibrant the color will be.
- Rinsing: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Styling: Style your hair as you normally would. You do not need to follow with a regular conditioner.
Important Considerations:
- Patch Test: Before applying to your entire head, it's always recommended to do a strand test to see how the color will look and how long you should leave it on. Apply a small amount to a hidden section of your hair, follow the instructions, and check the result.
- Gloves: Wearing gloves is recommended to avoid staining your hands.
- Frequency: Use Color + Clenditioner as needed to maintain or refresh your hair color. The frequency will depend on how often you wash your hair and how quickly your color fades.
- Color Choice: Choose a shade that is close to your current hair color for best results. Using a shade that is too light will not deposit color effectively, while using a shade that is too dark may result in a noticeable change.
