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 midnight blue-black 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 blue-black 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 rich Midnight Blue hair 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 and seals in your hair color with softness and shine.Root Retouch Application
Follow this method if you colored with Fade Resist Midnight Blue Permanent Hair Color or a similar midnight blue/blue black 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 midnight blue hair dye 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, blue black 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 Midnight Blue 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 midnight blue-black 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 midnight blue hair color dye may be necessary per application depending on hair length and texture.
• Do not save any unused mixture. The container may explode.

Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color FAQs
-
Do I Apply Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Roots to Ends or Only the Regrowth on a Retouch?
For retouches, focus only on the regrowth or new growth area. Repeatedly applying color through previously dyed sections can cause unnecessary buildup or darkening. -
How Long Does Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Last?
Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color lasts for up to 8 weeks before needing a touchup. Exact timing depends on your rate of hair growth, how often you shampoo, your lifestyle, and environmental factors. -
Do I Need a Strand Test and Allergy Test Before Applying Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color?
Yes, it’s important to perform both a strand test and a 48-hour allergy patch test before coloring. These tests ensure compatibility with your scalp and allow you to preview your final shade result. -
How Many Boxes of Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Do I Need for Long or Very Thick Hair?
Use one box for short to medium-length hair and two boxes for long or thick hair to ensure full, even coverage from root to tip. -
Is Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Suitable for Relaxed, Permed, Keratin-Treated, or Henna-Treated Hair?
Fade Resist Midnight Blue can be safely used on relaxed hair if applied at least two weeks after a relaxer. However, it isn’t recommended for keratin- or henna-treated hair, as results can be unpredictable. -
Will Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Dry Out My Hair and What Conditioners or Masks Should I Use After Coloring?

How Soon Can I Heat Style, Swim, or Spend Time in the Sun After Using Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color?

Does Hard Water Affect How Long Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Lasts?
Yes, hard water can cause color to fade more quickly due to mineral buildup. To protect your midnight blue-black hair color, use a clarifying shampoo once a month to remove residue and consider rinsing with filtered or bottled water if you have hard water at home. -
Is Midnight Blue Hair Color Permanent?
Yes, Fade Resist Midnight Blue is a permanent hair color designed to last up to 8 weeks with proper care. Permanent means the color penetrates the hair shaft for lasting pigment, though natural regrowth will appear over time. For best results, touch up new growth as it appears to maintain even, bold coverage. -

How Can I Maintain My Midnight Blue Hair Color?
Maintain your Fade Resist Midnight Blue color by using sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Deep condition weekly to preserve softness and shine, minimize heat styling, and protect your hair at night with a satin bonnet or scarf to reduce friction and color fade. -

Will Fade Resist Midnight Blue Hair Color Pull Red on Warm or Lightened Hair That is Very Porous?
