I’m letting my direct dye bold color grow out and have a few inches of regrowth of my natural hair color. Do I apply the product to my entire head?
No, only apply Bold Remover to hair with direct dye bold hair color. Section hair and use clips to separate yourcolored hair from your natural hair. The steps require color removal, shampooing and rinsing, so be sure to focuson the section of hair where color is being removed.
Can I do a second application of Bold Remover if my bold color is stubborn? (the product faded my color but didn’t completely remove the color)
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.
After I remove my old bold color, can I apply a new bold color to my hair on the same day?
You can safely re-color hair the same day by following the instructions in your hair color treatment.
