Naturtint Top Tips:
Selecting the correct shade:
- Naturtint uses the same numbering system as most salon & mainstream brands. The higher the number the lighter the colour e.g. 1 = darkest - 10 = lightest.
- The letter after the number tells you what tone is in the shade N = Natural G = Golden A = Ash M = Mahogany C = Copper R = Red I = Iridescent
- The “Intense” & “Illusion” colours are no different to the other shades, they are just ranges that were launched at a later date.
- When selecting a colour try and match your natural or darkest shade from the colour chart (This will usually be from the Natural section).
- From this shade you can go 2 shades lighter, add a tone or go darker. (As Naturtint is a less chemical dye it struggles to lighten the hair more than two shades at a time but you can go as dark as you like)
- If in doubt choosing between two shades, opt for the lighter as it is more flattering against ageing skin & grey re-growth is less obvious.
- It is very easy to change from using a mainstream brand to using Naturtint, just choose a similar shade and carry out a skin & strand test before use, (It is often better to start with a Natural tone as this will ensure you are getting a good base). Avoid using Naturtint for 6-8 weeks after using a henna based product and always carry out a strand test. Unfortunately as henna can be very persistent on the hair, it can affect colour results.
Skin test:
It is VERY IMPORTANT to carry out a skin test and a test should be carried out EVERY TIME the hair is coloured.
- To carry out a skin test just mix up a small amount of colour and developer in a glass or plastic bowl until totally blended. (Keep the unused colour and developer in their separate bottles with the lids on tightly).
- Apply a small amount of the mixture to a clean patch of skin behind the ear and on the inside of the elbow. Once dried, repeat the process twice more.
- Leave the mixture untouched for 48 - 72 hours.
- If no skin irritation is experienced after that length of time, such as swelling, redness, itching, burning, eczemas, etc then you can proceed to use Naturtint. OTHERWISE, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.
Strand test:
In order to determine you have chosen the correct shade and know the development time required to achieve it, simply carry out a strand test.
- Cut out a few strands of hair (enough so that the colour of the hair is visible) and add to the remaining mixture from the skin test, provided the mixture is used straight away.
- The hair will then need to process for a minimum of 20 minutes and maximum of 40 minutes for resistant grey hair. (You may need to do a few strand tests with different timings to ensure the best result).
- Once hair is processed, remove from the bowl and rinse until the water runs clear, leave hair to dry and hold up against your current colour. This is a better way to judge the final colour.
- Remember to make note of the final development time.
Application:
- To avoid colour staining the skin apply a thin layer of barrier cream to the hair line.
- To mix the colour simply tip the colorant into the developer bottle and shake for 2 minutes, alternatively tip both bottles into a glass or plastic bowl and mix thoroughly with an applicator brush. (The colorant and developer always need to be mixed in equal parts).
- Always ensure the hair is dry and free from any styling products before the hair is coloured as these will act as a barrier and can affect the final result.
You need not use whole box each time you colour your hair if ;
- you are just touching up your roots or patches of grey
- you have short hair
- you are mixing different colours together
Just mix up the amount of colorant and developer needed in a separate glass or plastic bowl, leaving the remaining colorant and developer in their own individual bottles with their tops on and they will both keep for several months.
To apply the colour, section the hair and apply directly to the roots. Work all the mixture thoroughly and evenly through the hair, from roots to tips. (When using Naturtint for the first time it is advisable to colour the whole head as this will ensure you get a uniform base).
Once the hair is completely covered, process for the desired length of time.
- Whilst the hair is processing gently massage the colour into the hair and move it around lifting the hair up using a tail comb to let the air get to the roots.
- When the processing time is up dampen the hair and lather up massaging around the hair line to ensure all the colour is removed from the skin.
- Once lathered, shampoo the hair using a gentle shampoo for coloured hair and condition with half the Nutrideep Multiplier that is in the box and leave for 5-10 minutes. (Leave the remaining Nutrideep Multiplier for use 2 weeks later. This will help with the condition and colour of the hair).
- Then dry and style the hair as normal.
Colouring hair next time:
Often people will colour their hair every 4-6 weeks depending on how obvious their roots have become.
- It is better to colour the roots only and when needed comb the colour through to the ends of the hair to refresh it. As often the ends of the hair can become over processed by being re-coloured every time.
- If you want to refresh the previously coloured hair but don’t want to over process the hair then the Reflex semi-permanent is a gentle alternative provided the shade is similar.
- To help maintain the colour always use gentle shampoos and conditioners for coloured hair e.g Naturtint Matisse. Always avoid medicated shampoos and strong shampoos as these will strip the colour from the hair.
