Product Usage Instructions

Choosing the Right Color

The hair color shown on the packaging is not a reliable indicator of the final color result. Refer to the color catalog and its instructions for accurate shade selection. Do not wash your hair for 48 hours prior to coloring! If you have recently bleached, permed, or permanently extended your hair, wait 15 days before coloring. Note that on gray hair, the resulting shade may appear lighter than indicated in the catalog. Light shades on dark hair can only be achieved after pre-bleaching.

Preparation for Hair Coloring

Apply the coloring mixture to dry hair. You will need a plastic or porcelain bowl, a hair coloring brush, and a plastic comb. Do not use metal items (bowls, combs, pins, etc.) during the coloring process. Protect your clothing with plastic wrap or an old towel.

Preparing the Coloring Mixture

1. Shake the bottle of oxidizing emulsion vigorously before use.
2. Pour the hair dye from the tube into a non-metallic bowl, gradually adding the oxidizing emulsion.
3. Using a brush, mix the dye and oxidizing emulsion thoroughly until you achieve a uniform consistency. Apply the prepared mixture immediately to dry hair. Discard any leftover mixture after application!

Hair Coloring

Apply the mixture to all of your hair if you are using permanent hair dye for the first time or if there are no visible traces of previous coloring. Distribute the mixture strand by strand, from roots to tips, and then even out the hair length using a fine-toothed plastic comb. Ensure that all your hair is covered with the coloring mixture!

Processing Time Based on Hair Type

• Normal hair: 30 min
• Fine hair: 15 – 20 min
• Bleached or permed hair: 10-15 min
• Hair with thick, glassy strands or a high percentage of gray strands: 35 – 40 min

Important: Do not exceed the maximum recommended processing time! After the processing time, wet your hair and massage for 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water until the water runs clear.

Root Touch-Up

Recommended if your hair is already dyed in a similar shade or if your roots have grown out since your last coloring session. Apply approximately two-thirds of the coloring mixture to the visible regrowth, focusing on the roots and areas with gray hair. Let it process for 15-20 minutes. Apply the remaining mixture to the rest of your hair and leave it for an additional 10 minutes.

After the processing time, wet your hair and massage for 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water until the water runs clear.

Hair Care

Apply the Loncolor HEMPstyle hair and scalp mask (included in the package) to damp hair with gentle massaging motions. Leave it on for 4-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
