FAST PRO TIPS FOR IF:

I have never used any dye or bleach on my hair before

Starting with virgin hair

1. Apply chosen shade evenly from scalp to ends for an all over application. 2. Apply to hair wet or dry (for a more vibrant shade), let sit for 3-20 minutes, thoroughly rinse and style as normal. For an even application, use a wide comb tooth to distribute product from scalp to ends. 3. Virgin hair may take more consecutive washes and longer processing times for desired results. For Example - If you are starting with medium blonde virgin hair and you are wanting to go purple, you may need to wash your hair multiple days in a row or leave on for longer than 20 minutes to achieve the vibrant purple.

Our Color + Clenditioners are perfect for refreshing your hair in so many different ways.

If you already have a favorite in one of our shades, simply refresh 1-2x a week to keep it vibrant. If you’re trying to maintain your salon color, pick the best or closest shade to what you have. All of our shades can be "cocktailed" together to create a customized color that works for you.

Red Heads:
• Copper (more on the orange side, but a true beautiful copper tone and can be mixed with our Original Clenditioner)
• Red (if a true red shade is too aggressive for you, try adding a pump of this with Copper or our Original Clenditioner)
 
Brunettes:
• Mocha (lighter, ashy brown)
• Espresso (darker, richer brown)
• Onyx (black)
 
To keep your Blonde hair from going brassy, you have a few options!
• Platinum: neutralizes unwanted yellow tones
• Silver: neutralizes unwanted orange/brassy tones
 
Pro Tip: If your hair was professionally colored to a caramel tone, you can use Silver Blue once a week to prevent it from getting too brassy over time!
