Hints & Tips

Grey coverage:
If you have grey hairs which are resistant to colour, try shampooing and use treatment on the hair before colouring. Firstly apply Tints of Nature Shampoo, rinse, apply Tints of Nature Reconstructing Treatment, comb and leave for 15 minutes, rinse, towel dry and then apply the colour as usual. The shampoo and treatment will help to soften the hair and open the outer layer of the hair (the cuticle). Note, do not use conditioner before colouring.

Another tip for colouring resistant grey hair is to cover the hair with a plastic bag and apply gentle heat all over the colour for approximately the first ten minutes of the development time. Please make sure the hairdyer is set on low – medium heat only. Then allow the colour to develop without heat for the remainder of the development time.

Counteracting red tones in hair:
Ash shades are ideal to counteract red tones in hair. You can mix either the Dark Ash Blonde (6C) or Light Ash Blonde (10C) with the natural tones.

Protecting hair which is not being coloured:
If you are only colouring a section of your hair and are worried about getting the colour on the rest of your hair, simply cover it with conditioner. This will prevent any colour penetrating into the hair and will leave your hair soft and manageable.

To remove build-up from two-in-one shampoos:
Shampoo the hair twice using a basic shampoo and then using a sponge, work vodka through the hair and leave for five minutes. Rinse and shampoo twice with Tints of Nature Shampoo.
