USE CRAZY COLOR
DIRECTIONS OF USEAfter shampooing, towel dry your hair. |
Apply Crazy Color direct, spreading evenly over the hair (wear gloves). |
Leave for 15/30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. |
DO A STRAND TEST
Rubber gloves are a must! |
Crazy Color dyes may only be semi-permanent but don't let that fool you! If you get dye on your skin it will stain, and nobody wants their hands to be the same colour as their hot new hair so BEWARE! |
OPTION 1: TO TEST THE DESIRED COLOUR OF HAIR ONLYCut off a small piece of hair (If you do choose to cut a strand to test, please note: allergies and skin reactions to dye are not being tested)
|
Or |
OPTION 2: TO TEST THE DESIRED COLOUR OF HAIR ONLY (RECOMMENDED)Choose a hidden section of hair to work with
|
Let the dye soak in for approx 15 minutes (ps. if your hair is thick or coarse you may benefit from leaving it on for around 30 minutes) before thoroughly rinsing the sample to reveal your electrifying new colour.
DO A SENSITIVITY TEST
Squeeze a small drop of dye onto the cleaned area and leave it on the skin for as long as possible – we recommend 48 hours!
Allergies are very rare, but if during the test period you notice any abnormal reactions such as itching, redness or swelling in or around the test area, DO NOT APPLY THE PRODUCT
MAKING CRAZY COLOR LAST LONGER
Avoid dandruff shampoo |
You may not know but dandruff shampoo contains ingredients designed to really clean the hair and remove dandruff - these can also remove colour faster than you would like. It is not a suitable product for color fanatics. Avoid at all costs. Best to use a sulphate free or color friendly shampoo - which may help to reduce your colour loss. |
Rinse hair with cold water, |
post shampooing. It closes the hair cuticles and seals in maximum colour. |
Shampoo as little as possible. |
Semi-permanents will lose colour after each wash so avoid over-washing hair. Bed head and grungy always gets a thumbs up from us. |
No sunbathing. |
Too much direct sunlight will strip all that edgy Crazy Color right out. |
Avoid swimming. |
Chlorine is another nasty product that will strip the life and color from your lovely hair so AVOID. |
Use systems designed to protect hair colour |
especially those with leave-in conditioing products. |
MAKE COLOR FADE FASTER
Wash your hair as much as possible. |
Each wash will begin the colour fading process and the more you do it, the more it will fade. |
Ditch your regular shampoo. |
Use anti- dandruff or clarifying shampoo or shampoos for greasy hair -not shampoos for dry, damaged or coloured hair. |
Hot water |
opens the hair follicles and is guaranteed to speed up the fading process. |
The salon. |
Or finally, the sensible option - go to a hairdresser who can professionally remove the unwanted colour. |
REMOVING HAIR DYE FROM SKIN
Alcohol |
Dab a bit of the pure stuff on a piece of cotton wool and rub around the hairline or hands. (over 18s only) |
Toothpaste |
is a handy one. Make it into a paste using soap and water - use a cotton bud around the hairline. |
Bicarbonate of soda |
Apply a solution to the stained skin and rub gently. |
Use tips with caution: Be very careful when using any harmful products near sensitive areas and especially the eyes.
