   PREPARE COLOR

   1. • Put on the Expert Colorist Gloves.
      • Pull off and discard tear-tip from the Color-blend Activator applicator bottle (2), then unscrew the applicator bottle cap.
   2. • Open Color-blend Formula bottle (1) and pour contents into applicator bottle (2).
      • Replace applicator bottle cap.
   3. • Place gloved finger over applicator tip, point away from face, and shake well until the color has totally blended and the mixture has thickened.
      • Immediately apply the color to your hair.
   
   ONCE MIXED, NEVER RESEAL OR STORE THE COLOR IN A CLOSED CONTAINER AS IT COULD BURST.

2. ALL OVER COLOR APPLICATION

   Ideal for first time users or if you haven't colored for several months.
   1. STEP 1: APPLY COLOR
      • Part your hair into small, even sections using the applicator tip.
      • Apply color first to your roots and stubborn grays.
      • Work through hair from root to tip to ensure full saturation, but don't rub into the scalp.
      • Pour any unused color mixture down the drain as it will lose its effectiveness after an hour.
      • If any color gets on your skin, wipe it off with a damp towel.
   2. STEP 2: TIME IT
      • Leave on for 25 minutes or the time indicated by your Strand Test.
      • Tip: If your grays are really stubborn, it may be necessary to leave color on for up to 45 minutes. For Ultra Light Blonde shades, leave the color on for up to 45 minutes as well. Nice ’n Easy—Layers rich tones and contouring highlights in one simple step!
   3. STEP 3: RINSE AND GLOSS
      • Add a small amount of warm water and massage into a lather. Rinse until water runs clear.
      • Apply the ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss to condition and lock in highlights and shine.
      • For optimal color results, leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
      • Save remaining ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss and continue to use once a week (after shampooing) in place of your usual conditioner for a total of 6 weeks of optimal color, shine and softness.
      • Tip: For best results use a quarter-size amount for each application. Our exclusive ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss helps seal in beautiful, natural-looking color and adds intense shine!
      

3. ROOT APPLICATION

   Ideal for users who color every 4-6 weeks to help keep hair natural-looking and ensure even color root to tip.
   1. STEP 1: APPLY COLOR
      • Part your hair down the middle and apply the color mixture to your roots, use applicator tip to separate your hair into sections and continue applying the color to your roots only. Save the remainder of the color to use for the rest of your hair.
   2. STEP 2: TIME IT
      • Leave the color on your hair for 20 minutes or 5 minutes less than the time indicated by your Strand Test.
      • Then gently work the remaining color through the rest of your hair, but avoid rubbing it into your scalp. Leave the color on your hair for an additional 5 minutes.
   3. STEP 3: RINSE AND GLOSS
      • See instructions above. Tip: If your grays are really stubborn, it may be necessary to leave color on for up to 45 minutes. For Ultra Light Blonde shades, leave the color on for up to 45 minutes as well.

Frequently Asked Questions: About Clairol products:

• What products does Clairol make?

  Clairol makes haircolor products. Choose from Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos), Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos), Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) or Highlighting & Blonding to help you become colorwonderful™.

• Should individuals with natural, uncolored hair use different haircolor products than those who have previously colored their hair?

  It depends on the desired result. If you are coloring your hair for the first time and only want to enhance your natural color, try a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product close to your natural haircolor. If you want to go lighter, you need to select a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) haircolor, then refer to the insert that comes inside your box of Clairol haircolor and follow the instructions for first time application.

• Should people who want to cover gray hair use different coloring products than those who don't need coverage?

  Most Clairol haircolor products will blend or cover gray hair to some degree. If you have a small percentage of gray (not very visible), use a Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos) product, such as Loving Care. If you have a higher percentage of gray hair (up to 50%), use a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product such as Natural Instincts, which will blend away gray hair. On the other hand, if you have a lot of gray and want to cover it completely, use a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) product. If you have 50% or more gray, use Nice 'n Easy Gray Solution.

• How can I test-run a color before committing to coloring my entire head of hair?

  Strand test is a simple method for you to test haircolor on a portion of your hair before doing the entire application. (The instructions are in your haircolor box.) It's an important step because it's the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting haircolor to achieve the resulting color. A strand test will also help you determine the exact timing you'll need to color your whole head.

• Where can I find product instructions?

  Product instruction inserts are inside your haircolor box.

Additional Instructions:

BEFORE YOU COLOR: 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE

• Take the ALLERGY TEST.
• Do the STRAND TEST to determine your optimal coloring time.
• Read this entire instruction leaflet before you begin.

• Examine the test area during the next 48 hours. If no reaction occurs, you are ready to color. The absence of reaction to this test is no guarantee that an allergic reaction may not occur as a result of a future haircoloring process. However, this test represents an important precaution. Please consult a doctor if you have any doubts.

STRAND TEST:

Do the Strand Test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results. Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing.
You will need: scissors, tape and a clock.

• Cut a ¼ inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end. Dampen with water.
• Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the Allergy Test. Start timing.
• After 15 minutes, check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture for up to 25 minutes. For extra light blonding, more intense color results, or to cover resistant grays, it may be necessary to leave the haircolor on for up to 45 minutes.

Color Hints & Tips

• Use Nice ’n Easy for ultimate natural-looking color with rich tones and contouring highlights in one simple step!
• Apply color to dry hair that is free of styling product build-up. If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help to protect it during the coloring process.
• If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel.
• Use the ColorSeal Conditioning Gloss only once a week. It has been designed to give you long-lasting benefits. For best results use a quarter-size amount per application.
• If your hair has been recently permed or relaxed, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo before coloring. Do the Strand Test since your timing may need to be reduced. If you plan to perm or relax your hair, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo after coloring.
• If you've used a gradual color restorer, henna, or metallic dyes, do not use this product until your hair has grown out and colored areas have been cut off.
