- Before using the tint balm, you need to wash your hair and dry it to a state of light moisturizing.
- Shoulders are covered with a cloak, and gloves are put on hands. You can avoid stains from paint on the face, neck and ears by lubricating them with a greasy cream. If a coloring compound gets on a sink, tile or bath, wash it easily with chlorine-based products.
- Hair coloring is always started from the back of the head, then to the crown and only at the end to the temples and bangs. The easiest way to handle the hair is with a special brush or comb with small teeth. Thus, the coloring composition is evenly distributed, preventing leakage. The final result depends on the application of the tonic, whether it will be monochrome or uneven staining.
