SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ BEFORE USE

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 16. AN ALLERGY ALERT TEST MUST BE DONE AT LEAST 48 HOURS BEFORE APPLICATION OF THIS COLORANT, AS AN ALLERGY CAN DEVELOP SUDDENLY, EVEN IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY APPLIED THIS PRODUCT OR ANOTHER COLORANT ON YOUR HAIR.

IMPORTANT: HAIR COLOURANTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTIONS. FOR YOU AND YOUR CLIENT, TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ALLERGIC REACTION, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO FOLLOW THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW:

HOW TO PERFORM THE ALLERGY ALERT TEST:

  1. Remove earrings.

  2. Behind the ears and using the applicator apply a little of the colorant product from each of the samples, sufficient to cover an area of 1 to 2 cm2 (e.g. the size of a small coin). We recommend apply colour from the tube with the sticker on behind your left ear and the unmarked tube behind your right ear incase you have a reaction to one not the other.

  3. Re-apply allowing it to dry between applications.

  4. Leave for 48 hours without washing, covering or touching. If during this period you notice any abnormal reactions, such as itching, redness or swelling in or around the test area please let us know as soon as possible. If the reaction persist or worsens we recommend you seek medical advise.

Below is a little video showing you how to apply the products behind your ears.
