Before coloring the entire hair, it is recommended to perform a color test on a hidden section of hair. Choose the lightest section or the area with the most gray hair. Use gloves. Mixing ratio 1:3 (1 part powder + 3 parts boiling water, green or black tea, coffee, or buttermilk product). Apply the color generously, as warm as possible, using a brush or hands, on clean and dry hair. Start at the tips and work your way up. Wrap the hair in film (plastic bag) and towel to keep it warm and moist. Coloring time is 25-90 minutes, depending on the desired color intensity. Rinse the hair thoroughly and wash with shampoo. For best results, rinse with ZENZ Hair & Scalp Rinse no. 87 after washing and before applying conditioner. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.
