How to use
- Wash with a gentle shampoo and towel-dry to remove excess water.
- Apply the mask evenly to dry or damp hair, distributing with a wide-tooth comb for uniform coverage.
- On natural hair, leave on 15-20 minutes for a visible, intense tone; on pre-lightened or treated hair, reduce to 5-15 minutes depending on the desired intensity.
- Emulsify with a small amount of water and gently massage to distribute the colour evenly.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, avoiding shampoo to maintain the pigment as long as possible.
