Nourishing Permanent Gel Hair Color 4.0 Rich Black

Color Preview Test

Your hair color results can be affected by relaxers, permanent waving, over-exposure to the sun, previous coloring and other factors. This test will show the new color in advance. Snip a swatch of hair at the scalp ¼ to ½ inch wide and secure end with tape. Dip the swatch into the test mixture (the same mixture used for the Preliminary Skin Test), making sure each strand is saturated. Wait 20 minutes, rinse well, then shampoo and let the swatch dry. This is the color you will get when you use Creme of Nature Nourishing Permanent Gel Hair Color throughout the entire head of hair. However, results may vary depending on the different conditions of the hair.

Preparation

• Assemble color products
• Drape towel over shoulders for protection
• Put on gloves
• Mix Creme of Nature Nourishing Permanent Gel Hair Color into bottle containing Creme of Nature Creme Color Developer. Recap bottle containing mixture and shake until mixture is totally blended. Point away from face while shaking.

Note: If you are coloring your mustache, beard and/or sideburns at the same time you are coloring your hair, apply coloring to mustache, beard and/or sideburns first.

Apply – Hair Only

• Squeeze the colorant mixture on to hair and apply. Apply color immediately after mixing.
• If gray, begin application where there is more gray hair. If mixture gets on skin, rinse with cool water.
• If not applying color to facial hair skip to "Step 6 – Wait". Otherwise proceed to "Step 5 – Apply – Mustache, Beard and Sideburns Simultaneously".

Apply – Mustache, Beard and Sideburns Simultaneously

Note: If you want to apply hair color to your mustache, beard and/or sideburns at the same time you are coloring your hair, you should apply to strong, resistant hair areas first, then to the rest of your hair. Begin as follows.

For mustache, beard and sideburns only:

• Squeeze a small amount of color mixture from applicator bottle into applicator tray.
• Dip applicator brush into mixture.
• Apply a generous amount of product to your beard, mustache, and/or sideburns with applicator brush. Be sure to apply to gray areas first, then remaining facial hair.
• Brush up and down to cover all hair evenly.
• Be careful not to rub or scrape skin.
• Wipe away excess mixture from skin with tissue or cotton swab.
• Now apply to your hair as outlined in "Step 4 – Apply – Hair Only"

Wait

Based on the condition of the hair, leave color on hair as indicated.

• Chemically treated hair – 25 minutes
• Natural hair – 30 minutes
• Gray or resistant hair – 30 minutes

Rinse & Shampoo

• When time has expired, add a little warm water to hair, mustache, beard and / or sideburns and work color into lather. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. If mixture comes into contact with eyes, rinse immediately with cool water.
• After rinsing hair, use Kiwi & Citrus Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo. Lather and rinse shampoo from hair.
