Always refer to the instructions in your brown sable hair color kit before use.
Full Head Application
Follow these instructions if this is your first time coloring your hair, or if you’re choosing a shade darker than you usually use.
Before you begin: Conduct a strand test on a small, hidden section of your hair to make sure the color and texture suit your hair goals.
Step 1. Put on gloves
Always wear the protective gloves provided in the kit before beginning your application. Gloves help prevent staining on your hands.
Step 2. Mix developer and brown sable hair color
Empty the colorant into the developer bottle and shake well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be sure the formula is fully blended to ensure even coverage and bold, consistent results.
Step 3. Apply mixture evenly to sectioned dry hair
Part hair into 4 sections for easier control, then apply the color mixture from root to tip. Use your fingers (with gloves) or an applicator brush to distribute evenly, smoothing it through for full saturation.
Step 4. Wait 30 minutes
Allow the color to process for 30 minutes on natural hair. If your hair is relaxed, leave the mixture on for 20 minutes instead. This timing ensures the brown sable hair color develops properly without over-processing.
Step 5. Rinse thoroughly
Rinse your hair well with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. This step helps lock in the medium-brown shade while washing away any excess product. Avoid shampooing immediately after rinsing.
Step 6. Condition with Moisture Mask
Apply the included Moisture Mask generously to help restore hydration after coloring. Infused with shea butter, sunflower oil, and vitamin E, the treatment nourishes hair, sealing in your hair color with softness and shine.
Root Retouch Application
Follow this method if you colored with Fade Resist Brown Sable Hair Color or a similar medium-brown hair color and it has been 6-8 weeks since you last colored.
Step 1. Apply to roots
Using the tip of the applicator bottle, part your hair into small sections and apply the medium-brown hair color mixture directly to new growth. Make sure all roots are fully saturated for even coverage.
Step 2. Wait 20 minutes
Leave the color on for 20 minutes if you have natural hair or 15 minutes if you have relaxed hair. This ensures the new growth develops to a rich, brown sable that blends seamlessly with your previously colored hair.
Step 3. Refresh midlengths and ends
To revive faded color, work the remaining mixture through the midlengths and ends of your hair. This step helps refresh your brown sable shade from root to tip.
Step 4. Wait additional 10 minutes
Allow the mixture to process for an additional 10 minutes on natural hair or 5 minutes on relaxed hair. This helps restore depth, shine, and uniformity without over-processing.
Step 5. Rinse thoroughly
Rinse your hair well with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Avoid shampooing immediately to help the medium-brown pigments lock in.
Step 6. Condition with Moisture Mask
Apply the included Moisture Mask to replenish hydration and smooth strands after touching up your roots.
Pro Tips:
• For hair with resistant gray, apply to gray areas first.
• If any color mixture gets on skin, simply wipe off with towel.
• More than one box of brown sable hair color may be necessary per application depending on hair length and texture.
• Do not save any unused mixture. The container may explode.

Do You Need to Bleach Your Hair Before Using Fade Resist Brown Sable?
Dark & Lovely Brown Sable Hair Dye is specifically formulated to work on natural, textured hair without the need to bleach beforehand. Typically, you only need to bleach your hair before dyeing if your hair color is significantly darker than your desired hue. For dyeing hair from lighter shades to darker shades, or if your natural hair color is within 1-3 shades of your desired hair color, you don’t need bleach.
-
Can You Use Brown Sable Hair Color After Relaxing Hair?
Yes, Brown Sable Hair Color can be used on relaxed hair, but timing is important. Always wait at least two weeks after a relaxer before applying permanent color to avoid over-processing. When coloring relaxed hair, reduce processing time to 20 minutes instead of 30.
