Contrary to old techniques, we encourage arriving with clean, dry hair for our color services to ensure the best color penetration possible. Since our color product is very gentle it does not need "dirty" hair to act as a buffer like other products require. However, for a special occasion up-style, we recommend shampooing the day or evening prior so the the natural oils in the hair give it better holding properties and make it easier to work with.

No. Washing the hair strips away its natural oils. When adding color or creating an Updo, the natural oils in the hair give it better holding properties and make it easier to work with.

A Just like you would a natural head of hair! We'll give you full and individual instructions for this during your appointment. And, just to be sure, you'll also get the opportunity of a "first wash" a couple of days after your initial visit where you'll get a chance to wash and style your hair yourself, with our supervision.

A Yes, although there is generally no need to do this. That's because the fibre used in the design is non-porous and therefore doesn't absorb the everyday dirt, grime and smells that human hair does.

You may take a shower from the neck down right after surgery. It is important that soap and shampoo do not contact the operated eye. This will help avoid irritation of the eye. During this time, a family member, a friend, or your hair dresser can wash your hair while you are lying back, but you should wear your metal shield and an eye pad over the operated eye. After one week you can resume normal showering and shampooing.

I do not know anything about hair coloring. I do know a lot of naturals use Henna because it is not harsh and provides a lot of extra conditioning. Check out this link for information about Henna. If you check out my "Natural Hair Photos" page, I mentioned how I had a very difficult time at that very beginning stages of being natural. I lacked proper information and tried to do things that my hair couldn't do. Once I stopped fighting it and gained some knowledge, things became much, much easier.

NO - it is recommended NOT to wash the items so there is a smooth surface on which to color. All products are very high quality and may be washed many times after they are done.

You can do any or all of these straight away. The vital thing is to avoid anything getting into your eye and irritating it so that you want to rub it. Some people find that getting a partner to help is effective. You can also wash your hair over the edge of the bath, or, if you do shower-rinse your hair, try it with your back to the shower. The best shampoo to use is Johnson's Baby Shampoo.

Yes, our Shampoo Bars are ideal for this purpose but any of our soaps are great for the hair. Wet your hair and rub the bar of soap across your hair a few times to lather. There's no residue left on your hair, it rinses out and leaves your hair squeaky clean with out feeling dried out.

Washing the hair more often is actually better for the hair than most people think! If you use the correct products suitable for your hair type and lifestyle, the hair can be washed daily and it should always look it's best.

Fourteen days for all types of color, including demi permanent. You will want to keep the hair as straight as possible throughout and after the TR service. You risk the chance of the hair slightly reverting if the hair is colored too soon after this service.

If you have relaxed and/or color-treated hair, it is important for you to shampoo and condition your hair weekly; a less frequent regimen may result in breakage. Also, taking hair vitamins can help increase the health of your hair.

You can wash your hair right after cataract surgery, but do not let the water run directly into the eyes.
