Clairol Natural Instincts Permanent Haircolor 5A Medium Cool Brown Clove

Professional advice from the Clairol experts:.If you are not sure which shade to choose start with a lighter shade. Helpful hints: Apply color to dry hair that is free of styling product build-up. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring as the scalp's natural oils help to protect it during coloring. Before starting: Have a clock ready for timing. Put on gloves. Comb hair gently. Put towel around shoulders to protect clothing. Step 1: Get ready to color: Tear off and discard the tab from the color activating creme (Bottle #2). Then unscrew the cap. Open the creme colorant (tube #1) by piercing the opening of the tube with the cap. Squeeze entire contents into Bottle #2. Replace cap. Place gloved finger over tip, point away from face, and shake well until the color has fully mixed. Step 2: Apply color: For roots and all over color: After mixing, apply color immediately to dry hair. Apply mixture first to your roots and where you have the most gray. When roots are completely covered, apply remaining color quickly to the rest of your hair by parting and lifting hair as you apply. If you apply color every 4-6 weeks, apply color to roots only and wait until the last 5-10 minutes of your timing to apply to the rest of your hair. Work mixture through until hair is completely saturated. Do not rub into scalp. Step 3: Wait 10 minutes: Now, start your timer for just 10 minutes (or the time indicated by your strand test). For resistant gray hair, you may need to leave color on for an additional 5 minutes, for no longer than a total of 20 minutes. Step 4: Rinse and condition: Rinse until water runs clear. Gently massage a quarter-sized amount of the Color Treat™ conditioner (tube #3) through your hair. Leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse. Save remaining color treat conditioner to use once a week for fresh, radiant color and healthier-looking hair*. If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel. Once mixed never re-seal or store the color in a closed container as it could burst. Pour any unused color mixture down the drain as it will lose its effectiveness after 30 minutes. Strand test: Do the strand test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results. Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing. You will need: scissors, tape and a clock. 1. Cut a 1/4 inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end. 2. Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the allergy test. Start timing. 3. After 10 minutes (8 minutes for permed or relaxed hair), check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 20 minutes. Fill in your personal color time below: My timing for desired color: minutes. Useful tips from the experts at Clairol: If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help protect it during coloring. To prevent staining, apply a little moisturizer around your hairline. For best results, do not shampoo your hair for 24 hours after coloring. This product does not lighten your hair. See clairol.com or call toll-free 1-800-CLAIROL for helpful suggestions from our expert color consultants. If you plan to perm your hair, perm first, and then you can use natural instincts the very same day as long as your scalp is not irritated and is in good condition. If you plan to chemically relax your hair, relax your hair first, and then wait at least 7 days and one shampoo before coloring. If you used a gradual color restorer, henna or metallic dyes, do not use natural instincts until your hair has grown out and the colored areas have been cut off.
