Guide to Colours

1. Low Commitment, Maximum Impact Colours

If you want to test the water on home colouring but aren't ready to commit then try a temporary colour. Temporary colours typically last between 1 and 3 washes, depending on your natural hair colour.

Be Clear on Colour

Make sure that you have everything you need to colour your hair at home

Preperation is Key

Wash your hair before colouring with a clairfying shampoo so that product and oil build up are removed before colouring.

Divide and Conquer

Ensure that you split your hair into 4 equal parts and distribute your colur evenly to avoid a patchy and uneven result

Watch the Clock

Remember to keep an eye on your hair during development time and DO NOT leave on for any longer than the instructions say.
