Full Head Application
 Follow these steps if this is your first time coloring your hair or if you’re applying a shade lighter than your current color.

Before you begin: Conduct a strand test on a small, hidden section of hair to preview how the Luminous Blonde hair color will look on your natural, textured hair.

Step 1. Put on gloves

Always wear the protective gloves provided in the kit before you start. Gloves protect your hands from staining.

Step 2. Mix developer and Luminous Blonde hair color

Pour the colorant into the developer bottle, then shake well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Make sure the formula is fully blended to ensure even, consistent color results.

Step 3. Apply mixture evenly to sectioned dry hair

Divide your hair into 4 sections for easier control. Apply the Luminous Blonde color mixture from root to tip, using gloved fingers or an applicator brush to distribute evenly through each section.

Step 4. Wait 30 minutes

Let the color process for 30 minutes on natural hair. For relaxed hair, process for 20 minutes instead. This allows the blonde tones to develop evenly without over-processing.

Step 5. Rinse thoroughly

Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Avoid shampooing right after rinsing to help the blonde color settle evenly.

Step 6. Condition with Moisture Mask

Apply the included Moisture Mask generously after rinsing. Enriched with shea butter, sunflower oil, and vitamin E, it helps condition hair and support soft, healthy-looking results after coloring.

Root Retouch Application
Use this method if you previously colored with Fade Resist Luminous Blonde Hair Color or another light blonde shade and it’s been 6-8 weeks since your last application.

Step 1. Apply to roots

Using the applicator tip, part your hair into small sections and apply the Luminous Blonde color mixture directly to new growth. Make sure roots are fully saturated for even coverage.

Step 2. Wait 20 minutes

Leave the color on for 20 minutes for natural hair or 15 minutes for relaxed hair. This ensures new growth develops evenly for a consistent blonde tone.

Step 3. Refresh midlengths and ends

Distribute the remaining mixture through the midlengths and ends to refresh faded color and restore uniformity from root to tip.

Step 4. Wait an additional 10 minutes

Allow the mixture to process for another 10 minutes on natural hair or 5 minutes on relaxed hair. This helps achieve a balanced, even blonde finish.

Step 5. Rinse thoroughly

Rinse hair well with lukewarm water until it runs clear. Avoid shampooing immediately afterward to maintain your luminous blonde tone.

Step 6. Condition with Moisture Mask

Finish with the Moisture Mask to nourish and condition hair post-coloring.

  • Dark & Lovely Luminous Blonde Hair Color is formulated for natural, textured hair and can deliver rich blonde tones without bleaching, depending on your starting color. If your natural hair color is very dark, you may not achieve a light blonde result without pre-lightening. Always perform a strand test first to preview your outcome.

  • Yes, you can color relaxed hair with Luminous Blonde, but timing is key. Wait at least two weeks after relaxing before coloring to help avoid over-processing. When coloring relaxed hair, reduce processing time to 20 minutes instead of 30 for best results.
