Precautions ⚠️
-
Staining Alert: Wear gloves; may temporarily tint skin/nails (washes off in 1–2 days).
-
Allergy Test: Patch-test 24 hours before full application, especially if sensitive to plant dyes.
-
Color Variance: Results depend on hair type, porosity, and prior treatments (henna required for permanent black).
-
Avoid Chemical Dyes: Wait 4–6 weeks after synthetic dye use to prevent uneven results.
