Results
A radiant, magnetic magenta with iridescent reflections and extraordinary brilliance, uniform on light and dark hair and fading gradually without unwanted undertones.
How to use
- Start with clean, towel-dried hair. On natural hair never coloured, direct application gives an intense result on light bases and a more subtle, sophisticated reflection on darker hair; on already-coloured or bleached hair, the pigment adheres more vividly.
- Distribute the colour mask evenly, combing through to ensure absorption and uniform coverage.
- Leave on 5 to 15 minutes for a light or more intense reflection; for a bolder effect, leave on up to 20 minutes.
- Emulsify with a little lukewarm water, massaging gently to activate the hydrating agents.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. No post-application shampoo is necessary; you may complete the treatment with a hydrating conditioner or mask to seal in the colour.
