Madison Reed Root Perfection Instructions
First things first—don’t forget to have your phone handy, so you can easily set a timer for ten minutes while your roots process.
Step 1: Prepare and mix
Begin with dry hair. Comb and part your hair as you normally wear it. Next, put on gloves. Puncture one color tube with its cap and squeeze into the reusable bowl (included!). Open one activator packet and pour the activator into the bowl. Mix with the application brush (also included!) until fully blended.
Step 2: Apply to roots on your t-zone
Apply to your roots on your t-zone (hairline and part). Be sure to fully saturate. If you get any color on your skin or forehead, simply use the cleansing wipe to remove (no barrier cream needed).
Step 3: Process for 10 minutes
Now, let the color process. Remove your gloves and set your timer for ten minutes.
Time to hop in the shower. Put on the gloves and rinse your hair of the new color until the water runs clear. Shampoo with sulfate-free shampoo, then condition with the Color Therapy hair mask included in your kit. Leave the hair mask on for five minutes and rinse again.
You’re done! Rinse your bowl and brush. Save the second application for the next time you need to extend time between salon appointments by three weeks. (There’s always a next time).
Talk about perfection…how gorgeous does your hair look?!
