Evaluate the condition of your hair first.• Start by performing a strand test to determine the processing time for another application. Processing time couldbe less because your hair has already lifted.• Follow the instruction sheet included in the kit, focusing on the areas that need further color removal. If onlycertain sections need additional lifting, apply the bleach specifically to those areas.• Check the color every 5-10 minutes, but do not exceed the 60-minute limit. Be cautious not to exceed the 60-minute limit with previously bleached sections toavoid over-processing or breakage.

You can safely re-color hair the same day by following the instructions in your hair color treatment.
