Clairol Natural Instincts Haircolor - 4 Dark Brown Women Hair Color 1 Application

Should I apply Natural Instincts semi-permanent to dry or damp hair?

Natural Instincts semi-permanent hair color should be applied to dry hair that is free of styling product build-up, but don't use shampoo within 24 hours of coloring.

Does the length of my hair make any difference in the amount of hair color I will need?

Absolutely. If your hair is longer than your shoulders or very thick, you may need two boxes to fully saturate your hair.​

Can I mix shades?

Go for it, you little artist you. Just keep in mind for best results, mix shades no more than 2-3 shades lighter or darker than each other. Just make sure the amount of color you are mixing matches the same amount of developer.

Lately I've been noticing that the bottom of my hair is darker or lighter than the top. Why?

Girl’s got to touch up between full colorings! Get yourself some Root Touch-Up to keep the top of your hair as radiantly luscious as the bottom.

Does hair type (curly or straight, dry or oily, coarse or fine) affect color timing?

Yes! Coarse hair generally takes more time to color than fine hair. Hair that's dry or permed may absorb color quickly, too. Do a strand test before coloring your whole head to ensure you have the timing down.
