How long is the application process?
Application takes less than 5 minutes, but processing times are a little different for every man since your instructions are personalised. In addition, processing can take up to 10 minutes for demi-permanent and up to 30 minutes for permanent.
Can I apply my colour to my beard or moustache?
Yes, you can absolutely apply your colour to your beard and moustache to match your hair. Please be sure to do an allergy test a day before you colour, you can find these instructions in your personalised instructions. We do not recommend you apply colour to your eyebrows or eye area to be safe.
What results can I expect?
That depends on how much grey you started with and the results you’re looking to achieve. Here’s an example from our client who went from fully grey to a few greys blended, to help you visualise your potential custom colour results. We’re happy to help if you have any other questions.
How long will my colour last?
Demi-permanent hair colour fades gradually, lasting up to 24 washes, while permanent hair colour begins to fade after about 4-6 weeks. Some factors that can cause your colour to fade prematurely are sun exposure, chlorine, too-frequent washing, or using cleansers and conditioners that are not specifically made for colour-treated hair. Need a recommendation for cleansers and conditioners? Send your colourist a quick message.
How can I prevent hair colour stains?
It’s all about preparing your space and wearing the right clothes. Make sure to cover your floors and countertops with old towels or sheets to catch any hair colour splatter. Try wearing a dark t-shirt while you colour since you don’t want to ruin that nice dress shirt your mum bought you. We also send you an awesome Stain Guard you can apply around your hairline to prevent staining.
How do I remove hair colour stains?
Stains happen, but as long as you get to the stain quickly, it should be easy to remove. To remove stains from your skin, try our Stain Remover towelette that’s included in your Colour Case. Try a combination of baking soda or OxiClean and water for countertops and floors. For glazed, protected floors, try using an even combination of bleach and water or Barkeeper’s Friend. To get rid of stains in porcelain sinks, try bleach and water or OxiClean and water.
How do I know how much grey I have?
You have 0% grey if you’re not seeing any grey hair throughout your natural colour. If you’re someone who has a dash of salt and mostly pepper, that’s considered up to 25% grey. If you’re seeing mostly salt with just a touch of pepper, you’re up to 75% grey. For our guys who see all salt—you’re fully grey. If you need help, send your colourist your most-recent photo by uploading it into your account.
Demi-permanent and Permanent Hair Colour
Our demi-permanent hair colour is Ammonia-, Resorcinol-, and PPD-free, and deposits colour pigment onto the hair. The colour fades gradually with subtle results to help with grey blending.
Our permanent hair colour is also Ammonia-, Resorcinol-, and PPD-free, and permanently changes the natural pigment of your hair. It’s made with Monoethanolamine (or MEA) to provide full grey coverage.
How do I know which I currently have?
Permanent hair colour is sometimes easier to spot since it creates a visible line in your hair once new growth sets in. If you have demi-permanent hair colour, it would gradually fade away without any visible lines. You can also send your personal colourist a recent photo of your hair and they can help. Or check your account.
What’s a personal colourist and why do I need one?
Your personal colourist is a big part of what makes custom colour different. Instead of simply sending you a pre-made colour, your colourist crafts your colour from scratch and works with you to get you the results you want. They’re also there to help long after you’ve applied, to help make adjustments down to 1/4th of a single shade. Need product recommendations? They can help with that too. Think of your colourist as your guide to custom hair colour.
