Your step-by-step product routine

Use them in this order for the best, longest-lasting result.

1. 1

   Test first. 48 hours before, do a strand test and a skin patch test — non-negotiable, especially over previous colour.

2. 2

   Protect. Apply a barrier cream (Framar) around the hairline and ears, and always wear gloves.

3. 3

   Mix. Mix the dye (L'Oréal Excellence) with the correct developer (20 vol) to the ratio on the box.

4. 4

   Apply. Section with clips and paint with the tint brush, root to tip, fully saturating each piece.

5. 5

   Process. Time it exactly — over-processing damages hair and skews tone. Then rinse until the water runs completely clear.

6. 6

   Tone & seal. Tone or use a purple shampoo (Fanola No Yellow) if needed, then lock in shine with a colour-safe mask.

Pro tips

• Sulfate-free shampoo keeps fresh tone vivid for longer.
• Go lighter gradually — your hair's health is worth the extra appointment.
• A gloss every 6–8 weeks revives shine far cheaper than a re-colour.
• Wash less and rinse cool to make your colour last twice as long.

How to make it last

Treat freshly-coloured hair gently for the first 72 hours and build a colour-safe routine.

• Sulfate-free shampoo keeps tone vivid 2× longer
• Cool rinses — hot water bleeds colour out
• UV spray or a hat on bright days
• Weekly bonding or colour mask

Common mistakes to avoid

• Washing brand-new colour the same day with hot water.
• Skipping the strand and patch test.
• Guessing the developer or timing instead of following instructions.
