💡 Application tips for unbleached hair
To make your color go BOOM, here are some Headshot pro tips:
🧴 Prepping your hair:
Use a clarifying, silicone-free shampoo to remove residue and open the hair cuticle
👉 Apply color to dry, unwashed hair
⏲️ Extend the processing time:
Leave the color on for 45–60 minutes so your hair can really soak in the pigment
🌞 Add warmth:
Put on a shower cap or use gentle heat with a blow dryer to help the dye absorb
🔄 Layer it up:
Dye your hair multiple times for a deeper result → layer by layer to hair color heaven!
🌈 What kind of results can you expect?
Intensity depends on your starting color—surprise! 😏
On dark hair: expect a soft shimmer
On light brown or reddish hair: the color will show up more bold and vibrant
