Dark & Lovely Color Gloss is a great way to change up your look and can be used on natural or relaxed hair.
However, if you don't follow the instructions carefully, your results might not be what you expected. The good news is that all it takes is a little bit of time and effort!
Part your hair in 4 sections for even application.
To ensure the color gloss is evenly applied, it's best to section your hair into four parts. This ensures that you get even coverage on all areas of your hair. Begin at the top and divide it into two sections.
From there, section one side down into two more sections until you reach the bottom. Now that your hair is divided into four sections, begin applying color from roots to ends—do not skip around!
Continue until each section has been covered with product and then repeat this process again until all four sections have been colored in equal amounts.
Apply color to dry hair or freshly shampooed, conditioned and dried hair.
We recommend applying color to dry hair or freshly shampooed, conditioned, and dried hair. If you choose to wash your hair prior to application of the color, we recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo.
Sulfates strip the cuticle layer of your hair, causing it to swell and become porous which allows easier access for the dye molecules to enter the cortex (the shaft) of your strand.
A sulfate-free shampoo will still cleanse but won’t leave residual residue that can prevent proper penetration of dyes into your fiber.
Put on gloves. Massaging the color into your hair with your fingers is the best way to apply it.
Before you begin, make sure to put on a pair of gloves. This will protect your hands from staining and also help to prevent the color from transferring onto your fingers as you massage it into your locks.
Next, take a small amount of the color gloss and spread it evenly throughout your hair. Be sure not to concentrate too much product in one spot at once or else you could end up with patchy results.
Lastly, use a fine tooth comb (or even just your fingers) to carefully distribute any clumps that may have formed around the root area (wherever there are roots).
Use light strokes along the outside of your hairline so you can avoid staining your skin.
To apply dark and lovely color gloss to your hair, you should take a section of hair from the left side of your face, wrap it around your finger and then part that section into four smaller sections.
Starting at the front-most section (closest to your forehead), comb that section with a wide-tooth comb from the roots down to just above where the ends start. This allows for an even application of product to all strands.
Once you’ve done this, apply a dime-sized amount of color gloss onto dry or freshly shampooed and conditioned hair. Make sure you don’t get any on your scalp as it may cause some unwanted staining!
Massage it in using light strokes along the outside edge of each individual strand so there are no spaces or gaps in coverage.
Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing off in the shower with warm water and shampooing with regular shampoo at least twice before using any other products on top such as conditioner or leave-in conditioner.
Let it process for 20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
After you apply the color gloss, let it process for 20 minutes. Make sure to use lukewarm water when rinsing, not hot or cold.
Shampoo and condition your hair with Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Color Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner.
To get the best results, use Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Color Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner. This shampoo and conditioner are specific to your hair color and should be used after each use of color gloss.
The conditioner should be left in for 3-5 minutes while you cleanse other parts of your body, such as underarms or feet.
Dry and style as desired!
Now that you have your hair colored and glossed, it's time to dry and style! You can use a blow dryer and flat iron to straighten the hair, or a curling iron for bouncy curls.
You can also try out the latest in styling technology with a curling wand if you're feeling adventurous. If all else fails, roll up your newly glossed locks with some hot rollers and see what happens!
For those who prefer something more traditional: no problem! A flat iron will do just as well at shaping your locks as any other tool.
Make sure to follow these steps for application of Dark & Lovely Color Gloss so that you get great results!

- Massage the product into the hair and avoid getting it on your skin so that you don't stain yourself.
