What To Use
For standard gray coverage, apply your favorite permanent colour, like Olia or Nutrisse. Both options offer 100% gray coverage, rich colour and shiny, silky hair. If you have stubborn grays (too stubborn for regular colour), try Nutrisse Ultra Coverage—our first at-home hair colour solution with CoverPlus technology, specially formulated for 100% coverage on hard-to-cover, extra-resistant grays.
How To Use
Apply the colour only at your roots, let it develop for the time on your instruction sheet, then pull it through your hair to blend andrevamp your look. To ensure complete saturation of stubborn grays, massage or comb the colour as needed into resistant strands, then follow regular timing and rinsing instructions"
WHEN TO TOUCH UP
Although everyone’s hair colour grows out differently, here are some general touch-up rules to consider. Also, before you touch up, make sure to follow the instructions in the box.
For All-Over Colour
Touch up your roots every 3-6 weeks.

Touch up roots anywhere between 4-12 weeks, depending on your desired look.

Use the Same Shade You Used Before
Cover new growth with the shade that matches the hair colour you last applied.
Prevent Stained Skin with Petroleum Jelly
Before you apply colour, trace your hairline and ears with the clear gel.
