 IMPORTANT
FACTS / QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT USING
SANOTINT HAIR DYES:
The first step is to decide which shade of
colour you would like that suits your
natural hair colour. It is recommended to
choose a colour, which is in comparison to
your natural shade because most natural hair dye
shades may create a slightly different
nuances with each persons hair.
Since European products, in particular
darker shades produce deep and rich colours,
we would like to recommend that for the
first time you try one of our colours, you
choose at minimum one to two shades lighter,
as it is easier to correct a lighter colour
than a dark one.
FACTS:
Depending on the quantity of grey present
in your hair it may influence the choice of
colour you use. In cases where there is more
than 15% to 20% of grey, the best coverage
is offered by a permanent dye. SANOTINT dyes
are guaranteed to completely cover your
grey.
Also, when you have a large quantity of
grey hair, it is recommended to choose a
tint that is similar to your original
colour.
All hair samples found in the colour chart
are created using actual locks of total grey
hair. The final result will depend on your
actual hair colour and may differ from each
head of hair.
When you have more than 50% grey hair,
your selection of colour to choose from is
greater and it is easier obtain lighter
shades.
When you have less than 20 % grey hair and
your existing hair colour is dark it becomes
more difficult to obtain a lighter shade. An
enlightening kit may be used to obtain the
desired lighter shade, for example, when
trying to obtain a red or blond shade on a
dark.
Cleansing the hair before a colouring
session is not necessary. If your hair is
particularly dirty, oily, or sticky, then
you may lightly shampoo before a tinting
session.
Do not massage dye into a heavy lather,
instead lightly massage or comb through.
ALWAYS apply the dye on DRY hair.
If it is your first session with SANOTINT
hair dyes, always apply the dye thoroughly
from the roots to tip.
Always start from the grey areas.
In cases where grey has grown back, start
coverage from root of grey and let stand for
10 to 15 minutes then apply rest of the dye
on remaining length and tips for an
additional 15 minutes. Leave the dye in for
up to 30 minutes maximum.
Length of session can influence the result
of a dye. For example: The longer the dye is
left on, the darker the shade will be. The
reverse effect will occur with lighter
nuances.
We recommend, when dying thick and grey
hair, the length of the session should be
between 30 and 35 minutes.
