Tutorial - How to mix two colors

Before application – Sensitivity test

• Take a small amount of colour with a cotton bud.
• Place it on a plaster.
• Stick the plaster on the forearm and wait 48 hours to check for any reactions.

What you need

• A towel
• A bowl
• A measuring cup
• A comb
• A protective barrier cream
• Clips
• A brush

Herbatint box contents

• 1 colour bottle (60 ml)
• 1 developer bottle (60 ml)
• 1 Royal Cream conditioner (50 ml)
• Instructions printed inside the box
• 1 pair of protective gloves

Step‑by‑step procedure

1. Preparation: Place the towel over your shoulders and secure it with a clip to protect your clothes.
2. Put on the gloves: Always wear the gloves provided to protect your hands throughout the process.
3. Prepare the mixture: Pour 30 ml of the first chosen shade (e.g. 5N) and 30 ml of the second chosen shade (e.g. 7R to add a copper tone) and add 60 ml of developer. The ratio in ml between colour and developer must always be equal. Mix well until you obtain a smooth gel. Any unused, unmixed product can be stored for future applications.
4. Protect the skin: Apply the barrier cream along the hairline (forehead, ears, hairline) to avoid staining.
5. Prepare the hair: Using the comb, divide the hair into four sections.
6. Start application: With the brush, apply the product to the roots, then continue along the lengths. Gently massage the scalp.
7. Processing time: Leave the colour on for 40 minutes.
8. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the hair with plenty of water until the product is completely removed.
9. Wash the hair: Use your regular shampoo or Herbatint Color Safe Shampoo for optimal colour durability.
10. Apply conditioner: Use the Royal Cream conditioner included in the box. Apply to the lengths, leave briefly, then rinse.
11. Dry the hair: Blot with a towel and proceed to complete drying.

Final result

Intensely coloured, shiny hair with even grey coverage.
