Directions

"ATTENTION, PLEASE NOTE Before application, please read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on the back side of the instruction leaflet carefully. 1. PREPARATION Before starting the application, place a clothing protection and a watch nearby so that you can monitor the application time. 2. APPLICATION 1. WASH: Wash your hair with a mild shampoo and towel dry it. Put on an old T-shirt and place a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothes. Put on the gloves provided. Pierce the Colour Cream tube with the reverse of the cap. 2. FOR VIBRANT RESULTS: To achieve an extremely vibrant result, you should use the product on prelightened or highlighted hair. We recommend Absolute Platinum or Max Blonde from the LIVE range. Please read the instruction leaflet of the chosen pre-lightening or highlighting product carefully. LIVE Ultra Brights appears less vibrant but still intense if used on darker natural hair. Check the chart on the back of the pack to evaluate what will work best with your natural base tone and the results you can expect. 2.a PASTEL: To achieve a pastel result on prelightened hair, ensure hair is damp. For shades 024, 025, 026, 091, 092, 093 and 094 carefully mix a pea-sized amount of the Colour Cream with the Care Conditioner on your hand and spread it well into your hair as you would when normally conditioning. For shade 095 you will need two peasized amounts of the Colour Cream. The colour mixture in the bowl is a good indicator of how the shade will look on your hair. For less intensity, add more conditioner. Leave in for 1–5 minutes and then rinse. Rinse gloves and keep them for rinsing your hair. Pastel application is not recommended on the darkest hair bases (dark blonde / light brown depending on the shades) as the colour result won´t be visible. 2.b FULL HEAD: For hair longer than chin length, we recommend using two packs. First, protect forehead area and ears with petroleum jelly to prevent staining of skin. Then carefully squeeze the Colour Cream onto your gloved hand. Apply the Colour Cream directly onto damp hair. Start at the back of your head and work towards the front. Ensure that you colour your fringe last. Spread the Colour Cream into your hair until evenly distributed. Make sure all of your hair is evenly covered with the Colour Cream, paying particular attention to the roots and hairline. Rinse gloves and keep them for rinsing your hair. 2.c DIP DYE: You will need aluminium foil strips, a bowl, an applicator brush and protective gloves. Ensure that the brush and bowl are non-metallic and are used only for colouring hair. Squeeze the required amount of Colour Cream into the bowl. Take the section of hair that you wish to colour and place a foil strip underneath approximately 3–4 cm towards the end of the hair. Dip the brush into the bowl containing the Colour Cream and brush the tips of the hair with it. Then fold the foil strip so that the tips are wrapped in the foil. To ensure that the foil stays in place, use hair clips. Rinse gloves and keep them for rinsing your hair. 2.d STREAKS: You will need aluminium foil strips, a bowl, an applicator brush and protective gloves. Ensure that the brush and bowl are non-metallic and are used only for colouring hair. Squeeze the required amount of Colour Cream into the bowl. Tear aluminium foil strips 10–15 cm wide and slightly longer than your hair. Start application from the back. Select the hair sections that you want to colour and place a foil strip underneath each one, close to the roots. Dip the applicator brush into the bowl containing the Colour Cream and brush a sufficient amount of the Colour Cream onto your chosen hair section, ensuring that it is evenly covered. Try to avoid staining the scalp. Then fold the foil strip so that the hair section is wrapped in the foil. To ensure that the foil stays in place and the Colour Cream does not leak, fold in the edges and press firmly. Repeat this process until you have your desired number of streaks. Rinse gloves and keep them for rinsing your hair. 3. DEVELOPING TIME Leave the Colour Cream to develop for 20–30 minutes, for pastel tones only 1–5 minutes. For a less intense colour, you can shorten the developing time. 4. RINSE Rinse your hair with warm water until it runs clear. Wear the protective gloves. If you applied the streaked effect, rinse each hair section separately until the water runs clear. Try to minimise contact of the coloured sections with the rest of the hair and also try not to run coloured water over the rest of the hair. 5. CONDITION Spread the Care Conditioner into damp hair and leave for 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Your hair will feel smooth and soft, with a freshly conditioned effect and electrifying shine."
