If unmixed product is left over, ensure that the container is properly sealed tightly with the cap, but be sure to use it within 3 to 4 months. Always remember to use the dye and fixative in a 1:1 ratio.

13. Why is it recommended to use the SANOTINT conditioner that is supplied in the package and how much should I use?

• After each tinting session, it is important to use the SANOTINT pH 3.5 conditioner, as it has been specially formulated to close the pores of the hair, sealing in the colour. SANOTINT conditioners are enriched with nourishing substances, which will protect, nurture and renew your hair after the colouring, resulting in shiny, radiant, and incredibly soft hair. In addition it will help prevent breakage from brushing and split ends.

• We strongly recommend not to use SANOTINT during the first three months of pregnancy.

• We recommend that, during pregnancy not to use darker shades, as they contain more colorants than the lighter shades.

• We suggest that you do not perform more than one tint session a month and to reduce the session time to no more than 20 minutes as a precaution.

When applying dye we suggest to:

• At the end of the tinting session wash and rinse your hair thoroughly

• To minimize staining try applying our Barrier Oil along the hairline and along the earlobes

 15. Can I use your dye to go to a lighter shade of blonde? 

If you wish to lighten your hair, we have what is called the SANOTINT Hair Lightening Kit, which is a peroxide base pigment lifting product.  The Hair Lightening Kit can be applied to your hair to lift up to 3 shades lighter or mixed into the colour that you wish to apply to lift  pigment.

16. Am I able to use a relaxer prior to or after using this product or would that not be recommended?

Yes you can use a relaxer before you dye your hair.  What we typically recommend is to wait for two weeks.  This allows you for your hair to recover as when ever you perm, relax, bleach or dye your hair, it puts a lot of stress on it and it is best for it, if you give it some time to recover.

18. Is Sanotint  gluten-free?  Where might I find a chart showing results of color choices on different shades of hair?

SANOTINT is Gluten-free.

19. Would I be able to use your product or will it not cover over the henna?  Is your product applied like a “normal” hair color?

Unfortunately, when you use a Henna, it acts like an impervious film of oil base paint.  When it dries, it blocks the pours of the hair and does not allow hair dyes to be deposited.  This is the problem whether you use our product or any other hair dye.  Yes SANOTINT applies like a typical hair dye.

20). How do I use Fixative Emulsion? This appears to be the same as the fixative emulsion contained in the hair color kit.

The  Sanotint Fixative Emulsion is  exactly the same as that which comes in the hair dye kit.  When a customer has stubborn grey, some salons are applying a little of the fixative directly to the hair in order to help open the cuticles.  The rest of the fixative is mixed with pigment, as per the instructions in the package.

21) How do I use Sanotint the lightening kit if I want to lighten my color # 74 by 2 shades? The instructions do not indicate how to mix this; they only talk about mixing two colors, or using the Sanotint Lightening kit on its own.

Reason: I use Sanotint  Natural hair day on grey roots near my face. this is my only grey, and Sanotint is the only colorant that does not send me to the hospital for Prednisone! However, color # 74 came out brown black. So, I would like to lighten it a bit.

The  Sanotint Lightning Kit helps to lighten the hair, according with the time that you expose the hair with the this  product. the longer the exposure time the lighter the hair. More details

I also want to recommend you try mixing 70% of #74 with 30% of Sanotint of#72. You can play with the quantities until you find the color that you want to achieve. We have other customers with similar concerns and they found a good solution by mixing these two colors.
