Important safety instructions:

Hair color products may cause allergic reactions, which in rare cases can be severe.  Tattoos may increase the risk of allergy to this product.  To reduce your risk, follow these instructions:

Do not use this product if you have experienced any reaction to hair color products or have a sensitive, irritated or damaged scalp.  In these cases, do not conduct the skin allergy test and consult a doctor before using any hair color product.  Conduct a skin allergy test 48 hours prior to each application, even if you have already used coloring products before.

Skin allergy test instructions:

Must be performed 48 hours before you color your hair.
You will need a cotton ball or swab, a plastic bowl and a plastic spoon.

• To open, unscrew the entire Color Activating Cr�me cap (Bottle #2).  Don't pull off the tab.  Then unscrew the Color Enhancing Colorant cap (Bottle #1).
• Mix small equal parts of the Color Enhancing Colorant and Color Activating Cr�me in a plastic bowl
• Tightly recap both bottles
• Apply mixture to a test area the size of a quarter in the bend of your elbow.  Allow to dry.  Use remaining mixture for the strand test.  Do not wash this area for 48 hours.  During washing, protect with an adhesive bandage and remove it immediately after washing.
• Examine the test area during the next 48 hours.  If no reaction occurs, you are ready to color.

The absence of a reaction to this test is no guarantee that an allergic reaction may not occur as a result of a future hair coloring process.  However, this test represents an important precaution.  Please consult a doctor if you have any doubts.

Note: If a rash, redness, burning or itching occurs, you may be allergic.  Stop.  You must not use this product.

What to do if you have a reaction during or within the next 48 hours of coloring your hair if during coloring you experience:

• Any stinging, burning or rash, rinse immediately and discontinue use as this may be an indication of a more serious reaction.  Do not color.
• your hair again before consulting a doctor or seeking medical advice.
• Any rapidly spreading skin rash, dizziness or faintness, shortness of breath or swelling to eyes/face, rinse immediately and seek immediate medical attention.

If after coloring or on the following days you experience:

• Problems such as itching, rash, swelling to eyes/face, blistering or skin/scalp weeping, seek immediate medical attention.

Strand test:

Do the Strand Test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results.  Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing.

You will need: scissors, tape and a clock.

• Cut a 1/4 inch wide strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end.  Dampen with water.
• Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from the Allergy Test.  Start timing.
• After 10 minutes (8 minutes for permed or relaxed hair), check the strand.  If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 20 minutes.

Fill in your personal color time below:

My timing for desired color: _______ minutes.

Useful tips from the experts at Clairol:

• If hair has build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring.  Do not shampoo immediately before coloring.  Your scalp has natural oils that help protect it during coloring.
• To prevent staining, apply a little moisturizer around your hairline
• For best results, do not shampoo your hair for 24 hours after coloring
• If you plan to perm your hair, perm first, and then you can use Natural Instincts the very same day as long as your scalp is not irritated and is in good condition
• If you plan to chemically relax your hair, relax your hair first, and then wait at least 7 days and one shampoo before coloring

Do the skin allergy test 48 hours before each application, even if you have already used coloring products.

Helpful hints

Apply color to damp hair that is free of styling product build-up. Do not shampoo immediately before coloring, as the scalp's natural oils

help to protect it during coloring.

Before starting:

• Have a clock ready for timing
• Put on gloves
• Comb hair gently
• Put towel around shoulders to protect clothing

Step 1: Get ready to color

• Tear off and discard the tab from the Color Activating Cr�me (Bottle #2). Then unscrew the cap.
• Open the Color-Enhancing Colorant (Bottle #1) and squeeze entire contents into Bottle #2.
• Replace cap. Place gloved finger over tip, point away from face, and shake well until the color has fully mixed.

Step 2: Apply color for roots and all-over color

• After mixing, apply color immediately to damp hair.
• Apply mixture first to your roots and where you have the most gray.
• When roots are completely covered, apply remaining color quickly to the rest of your hair by parting and lifting
  hair as you apply.
• If you apply color every 4-6 weeks, apply color to roots only and wait until the last 5-10 minutes of your timing
  to apply to the rest of your hair.
• Work mixture through until hair is completely saturated.  Do not rub into scalp.

Step 3: Wait 10 minutes

• Now, start your timer for just 10 minutes (or the time indicated by your strand test).
• For resistant gray hair, you may need to leave color on for an additional 5 minutes, for no longer than a total
  of 20 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse and condition

• Rinse until water runs clear
• Gently massage a quarter-sized amount of the Color Treat™ Conditioner (Tube #3) through your hair
• Leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse
• Save remaining Color Treat Conditioner to use once a week for fresh, radiant color and healthier-looking hair**

If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel.  Once mixed, never reseal or store the color in a closed container, as it could burst.  Pour any unused color mixture down the drain, as it will lose its effectiveness after 30 minutes.

Step 5: Refresh your color after 2 weeks

Natural Instincts Colorfresh™ Revitalizer
Boost your color in just minutes!

Use it 2 weeks after you have colored your hair.  Note:  Before using it, conduct another skin allergy test 48 hours before application by applying a small amount of the product to an area the size of a quarter in the bend of your elbow and allowing to dry.  Do not wash this area for 48 hours.  If there are no skin reactions, proceed with product application.  If a rash, redness, burning or itching occurs, you must not use this product.  The color of the Revitalizer product does not represent your final hair color result.

• Shampoo hair as usual
• Put on gloves
• Apply the entire sachet of ColorFresh™ Revitalizer into your hand and distribute uniformly through the hair,
  concentrating on your roots and where you have the most gray
• Leave on for 5 minutes if you want a more intense color result, leave on for up to 10 minutes
• Rinse thoroughly and style as usual

You do not need to apply conditioner afterwards.
