Many people have very sensitive hair and scalps. That is why Love Your Color has created a no- ammonia, no-peroxide formula. However, there is just one more thing you need to do to make sure our formula works for you; the Allergy Test:

• Using gloves shake the bottle and twist the applicator open
• Apply a very small amount to the inside of your elbow
• Leave it alone, uncovered, for 48 hours.
• Over the next 48 hours examine from time to time and if you do not have any reaction youare good to go!

If a rash, redness, itching or burning occurs, rinse immediately with water and do not use this hair color. If reaction does not subside, seek immediate medical attention

Whenever you color your hair you should test to ensure the best timing and coloring results.

Sunlight, perms, relaxers or other hair coloring can influence the test results.

• When your hair is completely dry, with a scissor, cut a ¼ inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your hair close to the scalp and place a piece of tape at the cut end.
• Place the strand in a bowl. Using gloves shake the applicator bottle. Twist the cap open and in the bowl, squeeze just enough of the formula to cover the strand.
• After 15 minutes, take the strand out of the bowl and, using a small towel, wipe the hair color from the strand. If the color is not what you were looking for put it back in the bowl. Keep checking every few minutes, for up to 20 minutes. If you have strong grays, you can leave it for up to 45 minutes. When you have found your personal color time fill it in below and keep a record for reference.

My desired hair color: __________ minutes.

Do not use for coloring eyebrows or eye lashes. That can cause eye irritation.

-If the color gets in your eye, flush immediately with water and if you feel irritation consult a physician right away.

-If your scalp is injured or irritated do not use hair color.

-Do not mix with any other product during the coloring process.

-This product is for adults, keep out of reach of children and do not use on children.

● Do not shampoo for at least 8 hours before coloring your hair.

● Only apply to your hair if you have not used any styling products in the previous 24-48 hours.

● If you have tougher-than-usual grays.

● Focus on the gray area first and then color the rest of your hair.

● Do your best to use all of the formula., This will help the color hold stronger and longer.

● Make sure to use the provided hair-covering.

● If your hair was recently permed or relaxed it is best to wait at least 7 days and 1-2 shampoos before using Love Your Color. Make sure to do The Color Test because your timing may differ.

● Do not use Love Your Color if there is already any type of henna, metallic dye or color restorer on your hair. Wait until the hair has grown out or been cut off before using Love Your Color.

● Love Your Color may cause unwanted results if you apply it to hair that is highlighted or lightened.

● If you are not sure which shade to use, it is best to choose a lighter one for a more subtle result.

● If the color you chose was too dark, shampoo a few times and it should lighten. The Color Test should prevent this issue.

● This color may become darker at the tips as new hair grows in. To avoid this, after the first application, re-apply formula primarily to the root of your hair.

• Use an old towel to protect your clothing and furniture.
• 2. Keep a clock nearby to make sure you stay within your desired hair color time.
• 3. Use the cap and gloves provided for coloring your hair.
• 4. Apply only to dry hair that has not had styling products applied to it in the previous 24-48 hours. Do NOT shampoo your hair for at least 8 hours before you plan to color your hair.

• Preparation

  - Use the gloves and cap provided and an old towel to protect yourself, your clothing and any nearby furniture.

  - Shake the application bottle very well.

• Ready to Color.

  - Twist cap open. Squeeze formula from bottle and apply directly on your dry hair. Start where your hair has the most gray . Make sure your hair is saturated with the hair color.

  - Do NOT rub the color in to your scalp, let it sit.

  - If any of the formula does get on anything other than your hair, wipe it immediately with a wet towel.

• USE THE CAP.

  - Fold your hair over your scalp and use the provided cap to cover your hair. The heat created by the cap allows the hair coloring formula to adere better to the gray.

• TIME

  - As a general rule, you should keep your hair covered for 20 minutes. For best results take the pre-determined time from The Color Test on page 2 and proceed based on that time.

  - If you have tough grays you may need to leave the color on for up to 45 minutes. We suggest using The Color Test to be sure, andmake sure to check after the first 20 minutes and then every few minutes after that.

• Rinse & Use Conditioner

  - Add a small amount of water to your hair and gently massage into a lather.

  - Rinse your hair thoroughly. When the water runs clear you can use the conditioner.

  - Work the entire conditioner packet, through your hair.

  - Leave conditioner on your hair for 2 minutes and then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
