*We consider an ingredient to be naturally derived if it is unchanged from its natural state or has natural sources and has undergone processing yet still retains greater than 50% of its molecular structure from natural plant or mineral sources. The remaining ingredients in the mask constitute 3% of its formula and are there to ensure its sensoriality and preservation.

Always refer to the instructions in your chestnut blonde 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 chestnut blonde 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 chestnut blonde 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 blonde 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 Chestnut Blonde Hair Color or a similar warm blonde 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 golden blonde 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, chestnut blonde 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 chestnut blonde 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 blonde 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 chestnut blonde hair color may be necessary per application depending on hair length and texture. 
 Do not save any unused mixture. The container may explode.

  • Dark & Lovely Chestnut Blonde 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.

  • Yes, Chestnut Blonde 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.
