- Insulate your head. Gather the curls in a knot, put on a waterproof shower cap and wrap a towel over it.
- Stand the mask. The procedure takes from three to eight hours, depending on the initial color and the desired result. But watch out for the sensations. If you feel a burning sensation for longer than 30 minutes, rinse off the product.

If it has become dark blue, such a product is not suitable for lightening hair.
Reviews: “The hair has become shiny and bright”
I share my opinion. I made this mask 2 times, the first time with oil, the 2nd - with a hair balm. My hair is dyed in dark chocolate, without ammonia dye loreal. Both times applied night, under the bag and hat. The first time, with oil, it was smeared heavily, painfully, hair stretched. nothing flowed at night, quite comfortable. But I washed off this beauty for about 20 minutes, and, half of the time, I stood under running water in various poses, because it did not wash off in any way. The hair was lightened somewhere by 0.5 tones. The second time with balm, it was applied much easier, and washed off faster. But it leaked onto the pillow. and the mixture seemed to me "burning." When I dripped onto the skin of my hands and face, it instantly reddened and burned, there wasn’t such an oil. Well, it brightened a little more, by 0.7 tones. The result is hair that is very shiny, stiff, but not dry.

Red hair with a shimmer of red. Over time, they started to get dark and the redhead was not visible ... .. Well, I did everything as needed, but I honestly very much feared that suddenly they would become dry. And kept an hour .... I began to rinse with water, but not as it turned out. And washed off with shampoo and balm. Then she sat waiting. Hair, as it were ... Brighter. The light became golden.
