Shade & Expected Result
Performs best on natural bases 2–4, offering a rich dark brown tone with a neutral to slightly warm undertone.
On lighter bases, it provides more intense coverage and a deep chocolate finish.
Preparation
Wear disposable gloves.
Protect the hairline with a greasy cream or oil to avoid staining.
Use a plastic or glass bowl (not metal).
Mixing
Mix the hair dye with the developer in a 1:1.5 ratio.
Stir well until a smooth, homogeneous mixture is formed.
For even better results, add one Christian Artesio technical ampoule, enriched with moisturizing and protective ingredients that add shine and hydration, prevent breakage, and protect the scalp during coloring.
Application (First Time)
Apply to dry, unwashed hair.
Start at the roots and distribute evenly through lengths and ends.
Ensure even application throughout the hair.
Processing Time

If using heat (cap, foil, film, or climazon), reduce to 15–25 minutes.

Remove any skin stains with a dye remover.
