Dark hair shows regrowth fastest - a few millimetres of grey against a deep brown reads from across a room - and this is the small, quick answer for it. Straight onto dry roots with the applicator, a few minutes' wait, then rinse.
The shade is matched to NaturTint's Dark Brown range, so it is designed to sit consistently against a colour already in the hair rather than to be used on its own. Because it only goes where the regrowth is, the lengths are left alone entirely.
There are three components in the 45 mL pack: the colourant creme, a developer that activates it, and a protective conditioner to finish. The creme carries crambe abyssinica seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil and argan kernel oil alongside the dye base, and the conditioner is built on glycerin with lemon fruit water, hydrolysed wheat protein, sunflower seed extract and linseed seed extract, which is what keeps the hair from feeling stripped afterwards. One pack covers one to two touch-ups.
The patch test is 48 hours before each use, every time, and the gloves in the box are there to be used.
