Skin & Strand Tests:
Always carry out the skin and strand test even if you have used this product before.  Using a plastic teaspoon, mix half a teaspoon of powder lightener with one and a half teaspoons of cream activator in a plastic container, mix thoroughly to a smooth paste. (If using the Hair Lightener Kit, add half a teaspoon of protective oil and blend to a smooth cream).

Skin Test - Wash and dry a small patch of skin behind your ear; Apply a small amount of the product to the cleansed area with the cotton-wool bud; Leave for 24 to 48 hours.  If, during this time period, any irritation occurs, wash off immediately with cool water and do not use the product.

Hair Strand Test - Take a few strands of hair from just inside your hair line and apply the mixture.  Leave on for ten minutes, wipe clean using a paper towel, and assess lift.  If not the desired lift, re-apply and check every ten minutes.  When the desired amount of lift is reached, write down the total time; this will be your recorded development time.  If during the test, the hair begins to heat or degrade, rinse off and do not proceed with the full application.

Record your personal development time in the box on your instruction insert included in the box. Results may vary when using the product in a mixture of natural and coloured hair.  Refer to the strand test.

If you have natural hair colour, we will give you the recommended approximate development time:
Fair: 15 to 45 Minutes
Light Brown: 20 to 45 Minutes
Medium Brown: 25 to 45 Minutes
Dark Brown: 35 to 45 Minutes

Preparation:
For the Highlighting Kit, prepare the hair first: refer to Application Instructions: Highlighting Kit; Always wear the plastic gloves provided; Empty the remaining lightening powder from the sachet and the bottle of cream activator into the mixing tray.  Mix thoroughly to a smooth creamy consistency using the brush provided (If using Hair Lightener Kit, add the protective oil and blend to a smooth cream); Apply mixture with tinting brush immediately and follow application and techniques.

Application Instructions: Hair Lightener Kit

Step 3: Starting at the front, apply the lightening mixture to the hair that has been pulled through the cap.
Step 4: Remove the development cap and rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water.  Take the highlighting hat off and shampoo to remove remnants of the mixture, and condition.
