USEFUL INFO:
*One pot of colour is usually enough to cover short to shoulder length hair, but depends on how thick your hair is etc.
*Two pots of colour is usually enough to cover shoulder to mid-back length hair, but again depends on how thick your hair is etc.
*You don't have to use all the colour once opened, and it is good to have some left over to top up the colour when it starts to fade.
* Dyes usually last between 2-6 weeks and fade out gradually / change colour over time, mainly depending on how often you wash your hair.
Dry shampoo can help you to prolong the colour and using a good quality conditioner can help slow fading a little.
* Directions contains NO peroxide and is thus best suited to use on light blonde or pre-lightened hair.
The colour shown is based on bleached hair and may not necessarily indicate the final colour which will depend on your base colour, hair type and porosity.
* Darker shades may give a sheen of colour to darker hair but we recomend pre-lightening(bleaching) for the best results.
* Dye results cannot be guaranteed always try a strand test to check possible results.
* Always follow manufacturers instructions fully.
Helpful Hints:
Shampoo the hair with a pH acid balanced shampoo(with no conditioner), this will give the hair the correct acid balance, allowing Directions hair colour to achieve the best results.
Comb Directions into the hair until it emulsifies, i.e becomes frothy, the pigments will have penetrated in to the hair, lighter shades may require a little more combing.
Processing time is between 15 and 30 minutes, but this product will not damage your hair if left in longer (as it is a conditioning colour) this will give it more holding power, a plastic cap will contain the heat on the hair helping to achieve a better result.
Rinse the hair thoroughly away from the face with warm water until all the residue dye has been removed.
All directions colours can be mixed with each other so to create your own unique shade.
Directions will take faster and last longer on chemically treated / bleached hair.
If more than one colour is applied the hair must be washed and dried separately, greater care must be taken when partially colouring lighter hair.
Do's:
* Do wear rubber or plastic gloves when applying the hair colour.
* Do use vaseline, petroleum jelly or baby oil around the hairline to avoid temporary staining of the forehead, ears, and neck.
* As with all hair colours, we advise a strand test first.
Don'ts:
* Do not mix Directions with peroxide.
* Do not use shampoo with conditioner included before colouring.
