Does leaving the color longer in the hair make the nuance stick better? Find it out!
Before you start coloring at home, do a touch test. It will help prevent scalp irritation.
Permanent coloring can irritate the scalp and cause hair loss. The temporary one can leave your hair with a different color than you want.
Cream coloring should only act for a timed 40 minutes. Shorter or longer time may affect the color result
The shorter time may leave insufficient coverage or lightening of the hair and, if it is exceeded, the color may darken or lighten more than expected.
Before any chemical process, it is necessary to carry out a strand test to find out the strength of the yarn and the color result.
Also avoid trapping the hair so as not to cause stains, as the whole process needs to be very careful.

2 step: Wait 48 hours without washing, covering or touching the skin area where you applied the colorant.
3 step: If during this period you notice abnormal reactions, such as itching, redness or swelling in the tested area, your hypersensitivity to the product is proven and therefore it should not be used.
