For Dark Brown to Blonde Hair. Tints of Nature is the first
ammonia free Conditioning Permanent Highlight kit. Using salon
formulated products to achieve naturally blonde highlights. Lightens up
to 7 levels from natural hair color. When lightening very thick or long hair, you may need 2 packs.
Why would you use this kit? If you have dark hair and you want to colour it a lighter shade, you would need to use this kit first over the hair you want to lighten. Then after you process it, you would have to color over that hair with the lighter permanent hair dye. This product has 30 volume activator which helps lift the hair 3 shades. This means that this product can be useful when wanting to put red highlights in your hair over black or dark brown hair. How would you accomplish this? If your hair is colored black or dk brown all over: You would use the cap which comes with the hair kit, and pull out the hair strands that you'd like to turn red. Apply the permanent highlight product over that hair and process. Then you will put the Red permanent hair dye over your entire hair. Since it is not as dark as the Black or Dk Brown, the red will not lift it. It will deposit over the lightened hair. Thus you will be able to have highlights of red! What if my hair is too yellow? This can be caused by an under-developed lightener, or the base is too dark. We have customers with dark brown to black hair that have used the kit and they have not experienced this. You may want to consider the Lightener Kit because the volume activator is 40 volume.
What if my hair ends up being too red? It will be because your hair is under-lightened. Take a strand test and re-lighten. How do I prevent an uneven color? You want to make sure that you apply it properly. Mix the product well so their is no lumps in it. Make sure if your hair is thick or long, you have enough product. Purchasing a second kit may be needed. How can I prevent damaged or broken hair? Leaving the mixture on the hair too long can do this. Always complete your personal development time when taking a strand test and use the guide during application. See instructions tab. Damaged and broken hair can also occur if you reapply product to previously lightened hair. To avoid this, take another strand test before re-applying any more product. Also avoid using heat and follow instructions in kit.

Take a few strands of hair from just inside your hair line and apply
the mixture. Leave on for ten minutes, wipe clean using a paper towel,
and assess lift. If not the desired lift, re-apply and check every ten
minutes. When the desired amount of lift is reached, write down the
total time; this will be your recorded development time. If during the
test, the hair begins to heat or degrade, rinse off and do not proceed
with the full application.

in the box on your instruction insert included in the box. Results may
vary when using the product in a mixture of natural and coloured hair.
