- Choose Your Shade: Decide on your desired intensity—deep maroon, aubergine, plum, or reddish burgundy.
- Prep Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. Lightening may be needed if you have dark hair and want vibrant results.
- Apply Dye: Follow the dye instructions carefully. Use gloves and work in sections for even coverage.
- Process and Rinse: Let the color sit as directed, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply conditioner to lock in moisture.
Serving and Storage Tips
- Maintenance: Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner to prevent fading.
- Styling Tip: Heat styling can dull color over time—use heat protectant sprays.
- Touch-Ups: Refresh color every 4–6 weeks or as needed.
