HAIR COLOUR AND HAIR CARE IN ONE BOTTLE

ONC NATURALCOLORS What is in the box

Do…

Shampoo to clean the hair of coloured hair sprays, mascaras to cover grey before using the colour

Mix in a bowl for best results

Use as soon as Colour Gel and Colourfix are mixed

Adjust the colour mix for coarse or resistant hair 2:1 (Color Gel : Colorfix)

Emulsify/massage colour that is already on the hair with warm water for 3 minutes before shampooing (helps push more colour in to the hair)

Shampoo and condition only after emulsifying. As our colours do not have the chemical glue other colours have, we recommend sulfate-free, paraben-free, low pH shampoos and conditioners. This will stop the colour from fading faster

Use sulfate-free, paraben-free, low pH shampoos and conditioners for longer lasting results

Don’t…

Compare NATURALCOLORS to other chemical hair colours
Use if the colour out of the colour bottle has turned black
Apply heat to already coloured or bleached hair except when indicated
Expect immediate results if your hair has recently (within 3 months) been coloured with Henna

THE IMPORTANCE OF APPLYING HEAT

Chemical hair colours have harsh chemicals and a high pH. Both are used to open the hair cuticle and force colour 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 colours. Instead, NATURALCOLORS uses heat to open the cuticle and penetrate the colour. 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 colour, for your hair, your scalp and your health.

Men do no need to use heat. Apply. Wait 30 minutes for full grey coverage. Or 15-20 minutes for a 'salt and pepper' look. Rinse.

BEFORE USING NATURALCOLORS

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

Even if you have coloured your hair with this or another hair colour before, we strongly recommend you conduct a preliminary test two days before every application.

PRELIMINARY TEST

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

COLOUR CHECK

To ensure the best colour result, carry out a colour check using the same mix you used for the preliminary test. If your hair is coloured, permed, bleached, or has had a henna colour, it can absorb more pigment and the colour 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.

RESULT	ADVICE
Colour is too dark...	Choose a lighter shade
Ends are too dark...	Your hair ends might be too dry or porous. Use QUINOAPLEX R3
Colour is too light...	Choose a darker shade
Colour is too red / brassy...	You might have chosen too light a shade for your hair. Choose a darker colour or use one of the Ash Shades
Colour is as expected...	You have chosen the correct shade

Once the colour 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 (i.e. Gels, Waxes, Colouring Sprays, etc.) These products can stop the colour 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 colour needed. You can mix the Color Gel and the Colorfix in the bowl provided and apply with the brush or you may mix the Color Gel into the Colorfix bottle, shake well, and apply directly from the bottle. Apply to dry hair.
