If hair has styling product build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. However, DO NOT shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help to protect it during coloring. * If your hair has recently been permed or relaxed, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo before coloring. Be sure to do the Strand Test, since your timing may need to be reduced. If you plan to perm or relax your hair, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo after coloring. * If you have used henna, gradual color restorers or metallic dyes, don't use this product until your hair has grown out and colored areas have been cut off. * If your hair is longer than shoulder length, you may need an extra box of Clairol Balsam Lasting Color. * For the best gray coverage, choose neutral or champagne shades. * FOR RESISTANT GRAY: It may be necessary to leave haircolor on for a total of 30-45 minutes. If you do not achieve desired results after 45 minutes, call the Clairol Expert Color Consultants. * Balsam Lasting Color Shade 599 is not recommended for more than 30% gray coverage. ********************************** Clairol Frequently Asked Questions ********************************** What products does Clairol make? Clairol makes haircolor products. Choose from Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos), Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos), Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) or Highlighting & Blonding to help you become colorwonderful™. Should individuals with natural, uncolored hair use different haircolor products than those who have previously colored their hair? It depends on the desired result. If you are coloring your hair for the first time and only want to enhance your natural color, try a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product close to your natural haircolor. If you want to go lighter, you need to select a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) haircolor, then refer to the insert that comes inside your box of Clairol haircolor and follow the instructions for first time application. Should people who want to cover gray hair use different coloring products than those who don't need coverage? Most Clairol haircolor products will blend or cover gray hair to some degree. If you have a small percentage of gray (not very visible), use a Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos) product, such as Loving Care. If you have a higher percentage of gray hair (up to 50%), use a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product such as Natural Instincts, which will blend away gray hair. On the other hand, if you have a lot of gray and want to cover it completely, use a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) product. If you have 50% or more gray, use Nice 'n Easy Gray Solution. How can I test-run a color before committing to coloring my entire head of hair? Strand test is a simple method for you to test haircolor on a portion of your hair before doing the entire application. (The instructions are in your haircolor box.) It's an important step because it's the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting haircolor to achieve the resulting color. A strand test will also help you determine the exact timing you'll need to color your whole head. Where can I find product instructions? Product instruction inserts are inside your haircolor box. *********************** Additional Instructions *********************** BEFORE YOU COLOR 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE ------------------------------------ * Take the Y TEST. * Do the STRAND TEST to determine your optimal coloring time. * Read this entire instruction leaflet before you begin.
