Preparation advice

• Do a trial on hair from your hairbrush, wait 24 hours to assess the final result.

• Wear gloves

• Avoid using metal utensils to make your paste

• Protect your clothes (especially the shoulders) with an old T-shirt, for example

• Apply a thick layer: the thicker the paste, the richer and deeper the colour.
