Herbatint Haircolor Kit Flash Fashion Crimson Red FF2 Description

Use only on dry hair. Using a plastic or a glass container only, combine equal amounts of Herbatint with the glycol developer (included in pack). Make sure the mixture has been thoroughly blended before application. Put on the gloves (included in pack).

For non-treated hair, apply colour mixture onto dry hair, making sure that the hair shaft from root to end is fully covered. Wait for 40 minutes. For previously dyed or permed hair, apply a portion of the mixture on dry roots first, wait 30 minutes and then apply the remaining mixture onto the rest of the hair. Wait an additional 10 minutes.

Rinse out Herbatint mixture thoroughly with water until the rinse water is clear, then wash hair using a natural pH shampoo such as Herbavita Normalising Shampoo. Then apply a natural pH conditioner such as Royal Cream. Wait 5 minutes and rinse again.

• Always do a skin test prior to each application.  Mix pea sized amounts of Herbatint™ colour and Developer and apply to skin (behind ear or on forearm below elbow).  Leave on skin for 48 hours taking care not to wash off during this time.  If you experience any reaction during this time (itchiness, swelling, redness) do not use the product.  The same test can be applied to Vegetal if you are in any doubt as to sensitivity to the product ingredients.
• Always do a strand test. It may be 'Cinnamon Twist' on the box but it may become 'Tropicana' on your tresses.
• HERBATINT™ can be safely applied to hair that has been coloured with another product. On the first occasion however, the colour might be slightly affected by the chemical pigments left by the previous product.
• Only colour clean hair - product residue could interfere with developing colour.
• Choose a colour two or three shades lighter than your natural tone.
• Rub Royal Cream around the hairline and wear rubber gloves to stop skin staining.
• DIY-it in daylight hours - hair colouring hotlines (given on hair-colouring packets) are only manned from 9.00am to 5.00pm!
• For shades that are a big contrast to your natural hair colour, call in the professionals.
• Mix colour with cornstarch to make it easier to highlight individual strands.
• Treated hair? Call the hotline number on the colourant packet first for the all-clear.
• Use a stopwatch or egg timer - and don't get distracted by 'Sex in the City' or 'Friends'.
• Don't use your best fluffy white towels, unless you fancy wearing this seasons tie-dyed look.
