APPOINTMENT PREP INSTRUCTIONS

So you received a package from me in the mail, and you're wondering what to do with this.

This is your guide to prep your hair, so you have the best appointment possible.

Section Title

STEP 1

3 days before your appointment: Replenish Hair Masque This is the moisture step. Use the Replenish packet 3 days before your appointment — not the day before, and not right after the Color Prepare step, because Color Prepare needs clean hair with no conditioner after it. Shampoo first, then apply the masque as directed on the packet and rinse. That gives your hair the hydration it needs before we clean the buildup out. 

STEP 2

The night before, or the morning of: Color Prepare
This is the clean-canvas step, and the timing matters: use it the night before
or the morning of your appointment, so your color service happens within
24 hours of using it.

  1. Shampoo your hair.

  2. Dissolve the Color Prepare crystals as directed on the packet and apply.

  3. Pop on the processing cap from your box and leave it on for 5 minutes.

  4. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly.

  5. Do not use conditioner after this step.
    If your hair is long or thick, use both Color Prepare packets in your box.
    Then just come in — no need to wash again before your appointment.

STEP 3

AFTER YOUR APPOINMENT:

If I gave you a Replenish packet to take home, use that on your first wash — shampoo first, then the masque as directed on the packet and rinse. That gives your hair moisture and helps lock your color in.
