Everything you need is inside the box. Read the leaflet and follow all safety instructions before you begin. 

Step 1: Prep
• Separate hair into sections with clips.
• Put on the gloves, twist off the tip of the Curl Caring Developer Bottle, and discard. 
• Remove the applicator cap from the bottle. 
• Unscrew the top of the Curl Glazing Color Bottle and pour into the Developer Bottle. 
• Tightly recap the Developer Bottle and shake well holding a gloved finger over the tip.

Step 2: Color
• Apply the color mixture to dry, detangled hair. Work section by section starting at the roots: make ¼-inch parts to fully saturate color evenly on roots.
• Apply remaining mixture through the mid-lengths and ends until hair is saturated. If mixture gets on skin, rinse immediately with cool water.
• Set a timer for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse & Condition
• When the time is up, use gloved hands to massage a little water through hair to create a lather. 
• Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. 
• Squeeze out excess water from hair. 
• Apply the Curl Moisturizing Conditioner and leave on for 2-5 minutes, then rinse. 

Step 4: Gloss
• Snap off the tip of the Leave-in Oil Gloss Drop.
• Apply the gloss drop on dry or damp hair: slowly add small drops and comb through from mid-lengths to tips until you achieve the desired result.
• Do not rinse, just style as usual!

Nice hair color

3 days ago
So this product here was nice as far as the color and also how it was complicated on my hair. The scent is going to be a little more tame. It did work nicely as far as the fuel in rinsing it out and also using conditioner after the color did penetrate the hair for a few weeks and also no freezing happened after using the color with this year as well I would say if you’re wanting to color gray hairs which I did kind of use this for it is a nice thing to use because it does give my hair a slight soft black to where It looks natural.

This product covered my gray hair completely.

This product worked great. The instructions were easy to follow. The dye did not drip during processing, and it rinsed out very easily. It did not strip my hair or leave it dry. I will definitely purchase this product in the future.

Kept my curls moisturized

21 days ago
I was surprised by this hair color. I have colored my hair several times in the past including using this brand and have always been a bit disappointed as the color made my hair dry. This color specifically for curly hair however left my hair feeling soft and moisturized. My curls looked and felt healthy and my curl pattern was not changed nor was there curl shrinkage outside of the usual. The included conditioner and oil kept my curls very moisturized. The product was easy to mix, apply and wash out and there was no harsh strong scent. Overall I was very happy with this product and so happy that it is specifically for curly hair.

The best for your hair❤️

21 days ago
I love how I leave my hair, conditioned after all the steps, soft and shiny. I like that it doesn’t smell anything and the application was very easy and manageable, I haven’t put the second bottle back on but it’s been three weeks since I put the first pass and my hair is still beautiful.
