Direct Dark Brown FAQ
Application Questions
Q: How should I prepare hair before using Direct Dark Brown?
A: For best results with Direct Dark Brown, shampoo hair 24-48 hours before application to allow natural oils to protect the scalp. Do not condition as this can create barriers to color absorption.
Q: Can Direct Dark Brown cover resistant gray hair?
A: Yes, Direct Dark Brown contains special pigments formulated specifically for gray coverage. For extremely resistant grays (over 70%), we recommend pre-softening with a 10 volume developer for 5 minutes before applying the color mix.
Color Performance
Q: Will Direct Dark Brown turn brassy over time?
A: Our Direct Dark Brown formula includes anti-brass technology with blue-violet corrective pigments that neutralize unwanted warm tones throughout the color lifecycle. For maximum protection, use our Color Protect Shampoo specifically designed for Direct Dark Brown maintenance.
Safety Information
Q: Is Direct Dark Brown safe for sensitive scalps?
A: Direct Dark Brown has been dermatologically tested and contains soothing agents like aloe vera and panthenol. However, we always recommend conducting a patch test 48 hours prior to full application, especially for clients with known sensitivities.
Q: Can pregnant women use Direct Dark Brown?
A: While Direct Dark Brown meets all international safety standards, we recommend consulting with a healthcare provider before any chemical service during pregnancy. The product contains minimal ammonia (1.2%) but proper ventilation should always be maintained.
