Ideal For First Time Haircolor Users OR for Users Who Have Not Colored in 3 Months or Longer.
1. PRE-TREAT DRY HAIR
Before coloring, apply our Pantene Pro-V 1-Minute Color Pre-Treatment and prepare hair to accept color evenly.
Apply to dry hair (not wet).
Open Pre-Treatment Sachet [1] by tearing at the perforation.
Squeeze out Pre-Treatment into your hand.
Apply Pre-Treatment to hair, avoiding the root area and concentrating on dry ends.
Leave on for at least 1 minute. Do not rinse.
Wash hands. Begin color preparation, Step 2, “Prepare” below.
2. PREPARE
Put on Professional Colorist Gloves.
Pull up the tab to remove the tip of the Moisturizing Developer bottle [2b], discard the tab, and unscrew the cap.
Empty entire contents of the Deep Moisturizing Color Crème tube [2a] (previously opened for Skin Allergy Test – see opposite side of leaflet) into the Moisturizing Developer bottle [2b] and replace cap.
Place gloved finger over the applicator tip. Shake well, holding away from face, until color is totally blended and mixture thickens.
Apply color immediately.
Never reseal bottle or store color mixture in a closed container. Once mixed, a sealed container of haircolor could burst. 
3. START COLORING
Squeeze Moisturizing Developer bottle [2b] to apply color onto hair. Apply color mixture to the whole head, including the Pre-Treatment application areas, for the best results. When covering gray, start where you have the most gray. When using haircolor to lighten, start where your hair is the darkest.
Thoroughly saturate your hair, working the color into hair like shampoo but do not rub into scalp.
Loosely pile hair on top of your head. Do not worry if the color of the mixture on your hair looks different from your desired color.
If any color gets on your skin or household surface, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel.
4. TIME IT
Once you have finished applying the color, leave it on hair for the time indicated by your Strand Test or 25 minutes.
Pour any unused color mixture down the drain. Once mixed, it will lose its effectiveness after an hour.
Tip:For Extra Light Blonde (XL02), Intense Red (3RR) and resistant gray, it may be necessary to leave color on for up to 45 minutes. 
5. RINSE & APPLY CONDITIONER
Add a small amount of warm water to your hair and work into a lather by gently massaging. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Shampooing is not necessary.
Apply a quarter-size amount of Pantene Pro-V After-Color Moisturizing Therapy [3] evenly to hair to condition and lock in lush, radiant color.
For best color results, leave on for 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Save the remainder for up to 5 more weekly treatments. Use once a week after shampooing to help seal in moisture and protect your color radiance.
In addition, we recommend regular use of Pantene Pro-V Expressions for Reds, Blondes, and Brunettes with specialized pro-vitamin formulas to make your unique shade look richer longer*! For maximum impact, use the complete Pantene Pro-V Expressions collections with shampoos, conditioners and more.
To keep hair looking fresh and vibrant, reapply Hydrience every 4-6 weeks using the Root Application Instructions below.

CLAIROL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT PRODUCTS DOES CLAIROL MAKE?
Clairol makes haircolor products. Choose from Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos), Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos), Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) or Highlighting & Blonding to help you become colorwonderful™.
SHOULD INDIVIDUALS WITH NATURAL, UNCOLORED HAIR USE DIFFERENT HAIRCOLOR PRODUCTS THAN THOSE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY COLORED THEIR HAIR?
It depends on the desired result. If you are coloring your hair for the first time and only want to enhance your natural color, try a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product close to your natural haircolor. If you want to go lighter, you need to select a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) haircolor, then refer to the insert that comes inside your box of Clairol haircolor and follow the instructions for first time application.
SHOULD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COVER GRAY HAIR USE DIFFERENT COLORING PRODUCTS THAN THOSE WHO DON’T NEED COVERAGE?
Most Clairol haircolor products will blend or cover gray hair to some degree. If you have a small percentage of gray (not very visible), use a Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos) product, such as Loving Care. If you have a higher percentage of gray hair (up to 50%), use a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product such as Natural Instincts, which will blend away gray hair.
On the other hand, if you have a lot of gray and want to cover it completely, use a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) product. If you have 50% or more gray, use Nice ‘n Easy Gray Solution.
HOW CAN I TEST-RUN A COLOR BEFORE COMMITTING TO COLORING MY ENTIRE HEAD OF HAIR?
Strand test is a simple method for you to test haircolor on a portion of your hair before doing the entire application. (The instructions are in your haircolor box.) It’s an important step because it’s the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting haircolor to achieve the resulting color. A strand test will also help you determine the exact timing you’ll need to color your whole head.
WHERE CAN I FIND PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS?
Product instruction inserts are inside your haircolor box.

Examine the test area during the next 48 hours. If no reaction occurs, you are ready to color.
The absence of reaction to this test is no guarantee that an allergic reaction may not occur as a result of a future haircoloring process.

YOU MUST NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.

Any stinging or burning and/or rash, rinse immediately and discontinue use as this may be an indication of a more serious reaction. DO NOT color your hair again before consulting a doctor or seeking medical advice.
Rapidly spreading skin rash, dizziness or faintness, shortness of breath and/or swelling eyes/face, rinse immediately and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF AFTER COLORING OR ON THE FOLLOWING DAYS YOU EXPERIENCE problems, such as skin itching, skin rash, swelling to eyes/face, blistering and/or skin or scalp weeping SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

STRAND TEST
Do the Strand Test each time you color to determine optimal timing and color results. Perms, relaxers, previous color, and the sun can affect your results and timing.
You will need: scissors, tape and a clock.
Cut a 1/4 inch strand from the darkest or grayest part of your dry hair close to the scalp and tape at the cut end.
Completely cover the hair strand with the mixture remaining from Allergy Test. Start timing.
After 15 minutes, check the strand. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every few minutes for up to 25 minutes. For extra light blonding, more intense color results, or to cover resistant grays, it may be necessary to leave the haircolor on for up to 45 minutes.
COLOR TIPS FROM HYDRIENCE
Call the Expert Color Consultants if you are going more than two shades lighter or darker, going dramatically red or if you have bleached or double processed hair.
Apply color to dry hair that is free of styling product build-up. If hair has styling product build-up, shampoo one day prior to coloring. However, DO NOT shampoo immediately before coloring. Your scalp has natural oils that help to protect it during coloring.
If your hair has recently been permed or relaxed, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo before coloring. Be sure to do the Strand Test, since your timing may need to be reduced. If you plan to perm or relax your hair, wait at least 7 days and 1 shampoo after coloring.
FOR HARD-TO-COLOR GRAY: It may be necessary to leave haircolor on for a total of 30-45 minutes. If you do not achieve desired results after 45 minutes, call the Clairol Expert Color Consultants.
If you have used henna, gradual color restorers or metallic dyes, don’t use this product until your hair has grown out and colored areas have been cut off.
If your hair is longer than shoulder length, you may need an extra box of Clairol Hydrience.
Extra Light Blonde shade (XL02) is not recommended for more than 20% gray coverage. Intense Red shade (3RR) is not recommended for gray hair.
The Arsenal
So here’s the arsenal for the next several weeks. Basically antibiotics, anti-inflamatories, and pain medications. Currently my eyes feel like there’s sand in them and they won’t stop tearing, but I’m hoping that will stop once I get these contact "bandages" out. One of the reasons I got laser eye surgery was because I developed an intolerance to contact lenses. Go figure I’d need to wear them for recovery.
