Introduction
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on using Kerastem hair color to achieve beautiful, vibrant hair at home.
Pre-Care Guidelines: Before you start coloring your hair with Kerastem, follow these essential pre-care steps:
- Perform a patch test behind your ear and wait for 24 hours to check for any allergic reactions.
- Shampoo your hair 24-48 hours before coloring to remove any product buildup.
- Avoid oiling your hair for at least 2 days before coloring.
- Refrain from using heat styling tools to minimize hair damage.
Application Method
Step 1: Apply the Scalp Protector To protect your scalp, use the Scalp Protector provided with the hair color kit:
- Part your hair and apply the Scalp Protector evenly to your entire scalp.
- Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes before proceeding to color application.
Step 2: Mix the Hair Color and Developer In a non-metallic bowl, mix the hair color and developer in a 1:1 ratio (e.g., 20 ml hair color + 20 ml developer):
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until it’s well blended and smooth.
Step 3: Apply the Hair Color Follow these steps to apply the hair color:
- Start at the roots and work your way down to the ends, ensuring even distribution.
- Use a brush or applicator for precise application.
- Leave the color on for the recommended processing time (typically 25-35 minutes).
Step 4: Rinse Out the Color After the processing time is complete:
- Rinse your hair thoroughly with cold or lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Avoid using shampoo during this initial rinse.
Post-Care Guidelines Maintain your freshly colored hair with these post-care tips:
- Refrain from shampooing for 2-3 days to allow the color to set.
- Use lukewarm or cool water when washing your hair to prevent color fading.
- Invest in a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to prolong the vibrancy of your hair color.
- Shield your hair from the sun’s UV rays by wearing hats or using UV protection products.
Additional Tips
- The number of applications per kit can vary based on hair length and thickness. For shorter hair, the kit can be used more times compared to longer hair.
