Belle Color Garnier Manual: Easy-to-Follow Instructions
If you're looking to add a vibrant touch to your hair, the Garnier Color Naturals range offers an array of beautiful shades to help you achieve just that. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple, step-by-step process of applying Belle Color Garnier at home. Let's get started!
Before you begin, it's essential to ensure you're not allergic to the dye. Perform a skin allergy test 48 hours before application. Additionally, gather all necessary tools - a hairbrush, gloves, the Belle Color Garnier box, an old towel, and a timer.
Preparing for Color Application
The key to a successful hair color application is preparation. Start by laying out all your tools and ensuring your hair is clean and dry.
Next, don your gloves to protect your hands from staining. Then, carefully remove the gloves from the observation tube and the cream tube. Gently tap the tubes to bring the contents to the bottom before opening.
Mixing the Colorant
Before you start mixing the colorant, ensure you're in a well-ventilated area. Open the observation tube and pour the developer into the center of the cap. Secure the cap and shake the tube upside down until the mixture is uniformity colored.
Next, open the cream tube and slowly pour the mixed colorant into it. Replace the cap and secure it. Shake the tube vigorously for 2-3 minutes to ensure both formulas are thoroughly mixed.
Applying the Colorant to Roots
Before you start applying the colorant, brush your hair to remove any tangles. Using the bottle applicator nozzle, apply the colorant to your roots first. For the most natural-looking application, start from the front and work your way backwards.
Ensure you apply the colorant evenly across all sections of your hair, focusing on your regrowth. Once you've covered all roots, use the remaining colorant to saturate the lengths of your hair.
Color Development and Rinsing
The color development process begins as soon as the colorant is applied. Once your hair is fully saturated, use the remaining time (usually 30 minutes) effectively.
Fold a clean towel into a headband and secure it around your hairline to protect your skin and prevent unwanted staining. You can now use this time to get ready for the reveal or simply relax.
Checking the Color and Rinsing Off
Use the timer to keep track of the color development time. When the time's up, carefully rinse off the colorant with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
Apply the Color Sealing Conditioner provided in the box, massaging it into your hair and scalp. Leave it on for 1-2 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly. The sealing conditioner helps enhance color longevity and protects your hair.
After rinsing, use a clean towel to gently squeeze excess water from your hair. Avoid toweldrying to prevent pulling or breaking your hair. Instead, let your hair air dry naturally.
Caring for Your Colored Hair
In the days following your color application, be gentle with your hair. Avoid washing it for the first 48-72 hours to allow the color to set properly. When you do wash it, use the shampoo and conditioner provided in the box for the first week.
After the first week, feel free to use your regular hair care products. However, remember to keep your hair protected from heat and sun damage. This will help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your Belle Color Garnier.
Finally, enjoy your new hair color and the confidence that comes with it! If you followed the instructions correctly, you should see a beautiful transformation/refreshed natural color. Don't forget to top up your roots every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair looking consistently fabulous!
