To use this Attitude hair dye, first shampoo and dry your hair thoroughly without using conditioner. You can apply coconut oil or Vaseline around your hairline and on your ears to prevent skin staining, but it's optional. Wear protective gloves when applying the color. Use a color brush to evenly apply the dye starting from the roots and working through to the ends. Make sure to completely saturate the hair. Leave the color on for at least 30 minutes; it won't damage your hair as it has added conditioner. Rinse your hair until the water runs clear and ensure it's completely dry before sleeping to prevent color bleeding. Don't wash or rinse your hair for 48 hours. If you stain your skin, use makeup remover or a little rubbing alcohol to remove the stain. Before using, do a patch and strand test. Pre - lighten your hair with Attitude Ghosted Bleach for better results. Use HolyPlex Haircare to maintain the color for a longer time.
