HELPFUL HINTS
help to protect it during coloring.
BEFORE STARTING:
• Have a clock ready for timing
• Put on Gloves
• Comb hair gently
• Put towel around shoulders to protect clothing
Step 1: Ready to Color
STEP 2: Apply Color For Roots and All-Over Color
• After mixing, apply color immediately to dry hair.
• Apply mixture first to your roots and where you have the most gray.
• When roots are completely covered, apply remaining color quickly to the rest of your hair by parting and lifting hair as you apply.
• Work mixture through until hair is completely saturated. Do not rub into scalp.
STEP 3: Wait 10 Minutes
STEP 4: Rinse and Condition
If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel. Once mixed, never re-seal or store the color in a closed container, as it could burst. Pour any unused color mixture down the drain as it will lose its effectiveness after 30 minutes.

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 10 minutes (8 minutes for permed or relaxed hair), check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 20 minutes.
Fill in your personal color time below:
My timing for desired color: _______ minutes.
- If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help protect it during coloring.
- To prevent staining, apply a little moisturizer around your hairline.
- For best results, do not shampoo your hair for 24 hours after coloring.
- If you plan to perm your hair, perm first, and then you can use Natural Instincts the very same day as long as your scalp is not irritated and is in good condition.
- If you plan to chemically relax your hair, relax your hair first, and then wait at least 7 days and one shampoo before coloring.
