Q & A

Why is it important to do an allergy test before coloring your hair?

An allergy test helps ensure you don't have an adverse reaction to the hair dye, which can prevent skin irritation or more severe reactions. Apply a small amount of the dye mixture behind your ear and leave it for 48 hours before using it on your hair.

What is the recommended time frame to avoid washing your hair before applying dye?

You should not wash your hair 24 hours before coloring it. This allows natural oils to build up, which helps protect your scalp from potential irritation.

What tools and materials do you need to color your hair at home?

You will need two mirrors (one in front, one behind), a mixing bowl, a hair color brush, gloves, a towel, butterfly clips, petroleum jelly, and, most importantly, a hair dye of your choice (like Gri Expert Rich Creme).

Why should you apply petroleum jelly around the hairline and neck before coloring?

Applying petroleum jelly helps protect your skin from staining during the coloring process, especially around your hairline, ears, and neck.

What is the purpose of sectioning your hair into four parts before coloring?

Sectioning your hair into four equal parts ensures even application of the dye. It allows you to systematically cover each section of hair, ensuring consistent and thorough color coverage.

How do you apply the dye to ensure even coverage?

Start by applying the dye to the roots using a brush, sectioning your hair with a comb. For longer hair, work in smaller sections to ensure the dye reaches all parts of your hair evenly, covering both the front and back sections.

What should you do after applying the dye to all sections of your hair?

Once the dye is applied, twist your hair into a tight bun and leave it on for 30 minutes. The cream color doesn't drip, so you can relax and go about your activities without worrying about mess.

How should you rinse the hair after the coloring process is complete?

Rinse your hair with plain water until the color is fully removed. Afterward, apply a conditioner specifically meant for colored hair, leave it on for 3 minutes, and then rinse it off well.

What are the key benefits of using Gri Expert Rich Creme for hair coloring?

Gri Expert Rich Creme offers a smooth, rich application that doesn't drip, making the process easier. It contains aloe and milk protein to help keep your hair soft, shiny, and healthy-looking after the color is applied.

Can you use the same amount of dye for short and long hair?

For short to medium hair, one packet of dye should suffice. However, for longer hair, you will likely need to use two packets of the dye to ensure full coverage.
