Step-by-Step Guide to Using Ion Semi-Permanent Gloss
Applying the gloss involves preparing your hair and following specific processing times depending on the desired outcome.
- Prepare Your Hair: Start with shampooed, towel-dried hair. This ensures the hair is clean and slightly damp, ready to absorb the gloss.
- Apply the Gloss: Apply ion Color Brilliance Semi Permanent directly from the bottle onto your prepared hair. Ensure even distribution for consistent results.
- Standard Processing: For general conditioning and shine, allow the product to process according to the packaging instructions (the provided reference focuses on enhanced processing, so standard processing time might be on the bottle).
- Enhanced Processing (For More Deposit or Gray Blending):
- After applying, cover with a plastic cap.
- Process under a warm dryer for 10 minutes. The heat helps the color penetrate the hair shaft for increased deposit or better gray coverage.
- Cool for 5 minutes. This allows the hair to cool down before rinsing.
- Rinse: After processing (either standard or enhanced), rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
Processing Options Comparison
Here's a quick look at the processing variations mentioned in the reference:
| Goal | Application Method | Processing Method | Processing Time | Cooling Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Shine/Conditioning | Directly from bottle | [Follow packaging for standard] | [Varies] | [Varies] |
| More Deposit / Gray Blending | Directly from bottle + Plastic Cap | Under Warm Dryer | 10 minutes | 5 minutes |
Using a plastic cap and warm dryer is specifically recommended for achieving more deposit or assisting with gray blending. Always rinse completely once processing is finished.
