    The importance of applying heat

    Chemical hair colors have harsh chemicals and a high pH. Both are used to open the hair cuticle and force color into the hair. This is damaging to your hair, scalp and health.

    NATURALCOLORS pH is very low. It cannot open the hair cuticle with a high pH like chemical colors. Instead, it uses heat to open the cuticle and infuse the color. Heat opens the cuticles of the hair in the same way as a sauna opens the pores of your skin. There is no itch and no damage to your hair or scalp. This is a much healthier approach than traditional chemical color, for your hair, your scalp and your health!

    Where it says to apply heat you can:

    Before using NATURALCOLORS 

    Hair colors may cause allergic reactions. Temporary black henna tattoos may increase your risk of allergy.

    Even if you have colored your hair with this or another hair color before, we strongly recommend you conduct a preliminary test two days before every use.

    Preliminary test

      1. Mix a small amount of Color Gel with Colorfix.
      2. Dab a dime-sized amount of this mixture behind your ear or inside forearm.
      3. Check the area two days later. Do not use the product if there is any rash, swelling or irritation.

    Color check

    To ensure the best color result, carry out a color check using the same mix you used for the preliminary test. If your hair is colored, permed, bleached, or has had a henna color, it can absorb more pigment and the color result can be darker. To make the test, take a one inch strand, and wearing the gloves provided, apply the mix. Leave for the full development time. Rinse well and dry.

    Advice

    Color is too dark...

    Choose a lighter shade

    Ends are too dark...

    Your hair ends might be too dry or porous. Use QUINOAPLEX R3

    Color is too light...

    Choose a darker shade

    Color is too red / brassy...

    You might have chosen too light a shade for your hair. Choose a darker color or use one of the Ash Shades

    Color is as expected...

    You have chosen the correct shade!

    Once the color is the one you expect, and there was no reaction to the preliminary test, you are ready to use NATURALCOLORS.

    The hair must be clean and free from styling products (Gels, Waxes, Coloring Sprays, etc.) These products can stop the color from working properly. Make sure to shampoo the hair, but do NOT condition the hair. Hair must be dry.

    Preparing NATURALCOLORS

    Decide on the amount of color needed. You can mix the Color Gel and the Colorfix in the bowl provided and apply with a brush or you may mix the Color Gel into the Colorfix bottle, shake well, and apply directly from the bottle. Apply to dry hair.

    NATURALCOLORS is a two-step process for hair. You treat the roots and the rest of the hair separately. It is not a single application. Read and follow the instructions for best results.

    Do's and Don'ts

      Do… ✓

      • Be sure your hair is clean and dry
      • Mix the Color Gel and Colorfix in a bowl for best results
      • Adjust the color mix for coarse or resistant hair 2:1 (Color Gel : Colorfix)
      • Mix first to treat the roots and be sure to pat the hair while applying rather than painting the color on to the hair with brushstrokes. Then mix again for the rest of the hair
      • Use Color Gel and Colorfix immediately after mixing to limit oxidation
      • Emulsify/massage color that is already on the hair with warm water for 2 minutes before shampooing (helps more color into the hair)
      • Shampoo and condition only after emulsifying. As our colors do not have the chemical glue other colors have
      • Use only color-safe. SLS-free, paraben free, low pH shampoos and conditioners
      • Apply to dry hair
