Before you begin
In order to avoid severe health problems
- DO NOT use if you have experienced an incompatibility with a hair colorant in the past.
- DO NOT use if your scalp is sensitive or itchy, or your skin is broken. If you experience stinging, burning, or a rash during application immediately discontinue use and rinse hair with lukewarm water.
- Seek medical advice before attempting to color your hair again to avoid triggering a more severe reaction.
