• Grey roots can be unwanted and difficult to
  cover. If you are looking to colour resistant
  grey hair, follow some simple tips to make sure
  your greys are covered and that your new colour
  is consistent, with total grey coverage.

3

• Grey hair isnt actually grey its white and
  the pigment loss which occurs naturally in hair
  as we age. Grey hair is often also coarser and
  can be resistant to colour absorption. It can be
  more difficult to colour resistant grey hair and
  to cover visible regrowth.
• You may need a few tips to achieve the colour
  you want and to successfully colour resistant
  grey hair at home.

  regrowth
• Less colour, more frequent colouring Visible
  new hair growth can be seen in as little to 7 to
  10 days, so you may need to colour your hair more
  frequently to keep them at bay.

5

• If you are colouring frequently it is
  particularly important to look for low chemical
  products to reduce your exposure to the chemicals
  in the hair colour formula. Some ingredients
  which are commonly found in hair colour formulas
  can be absorbed through the skin.

6

• Professor Mokbel, a London based breast cancer
  researcher and surgeon has identified PPD as an
  ingredient which you should reduce or avoid in
  hair colour products.
• The best choices for permanent hair colour
  formulas are ammonia and PPD free.
• Select a colour product blended with botanical
  oils and extracts. Botanicals can soothe the
  scalp, nourish the hair and support and repair
  hair during the colouring process.

7

• Precision colour application You will need to
  be extra careful about your colour placement in
  order to apply the fresh colour just on your grey
  regrowth to target the colour to your resistant
  grey hair. Be careful to avoid overlapping the
  new colour on already coloured hair.

8

• Overlapping the colour can result in darker and
  duller colour towards the ends and
  colour-build-up. Handy hint we provide a tint
  brush in your Free Trial for a reason!

9

• Section your hair and use a tint brush like a
  pro for colouring your grey regrowth Follow our
  super simple guide to sectioning to achieve neat,
  manageable part lines before you colour. Clip
  your hair up with the sectioning clips provided
  in our Free Trial. This will let you clearly see
  the line between your new growth and old colour
  and help guide your colour placement.

10

• The tint brush (provided in your Free Trial) is
  a simple, cheap and easy to use colouring tool
  which lets you apply the colour placement and
  amount with control and precision. Using a tint
  brush has real benefits, especially for those who
  are re-colouring regularly to cover greys. Clip
  it with the clips provided in our Free Trial, and
  begin painting the colour to your regrowth
  section by section.

11

• Try not to overlap the colour. Use the brush to
  push the colour in to the roots to help colour
  absorption, and then reapply a little extra
  colour on the roots especially around your
  forehead and centre part line.

12

• Extra time for extra colour Leave your colour
  on your resistant greys for the full processing
  time plus extra ten minutes. If you want to
  freshen the colour at the mid-section and ends,
  run the colour through the full length of your
  hair for the last ten minutes of processing time.
  

13

• Save your left-over colour in the bowl for the
  full standard processing time, and then paint the
  colour through your hair lengths at the beginning
  of the additional ten minutes of processing time.
