HAIRPRINT True Color Restorer | Kit-3: LIGHT BROWN

The purpose of a Transition is to protect chemically treated hair— whether highlighted, bleached or dyed—from getting into contact with Hairprint. We want to avoid treating it because chemically treated hair is damaged. The internal genetic template inside the cortex, what we call your hairprint, is missing due to the impact of the chemicals. Hairprint infuses the hair with its original pigment, eumelanin. The hair arranges the pigment using this internal structure. That structure determines how light refracts, and the way light refracts determines how we see color. Damaged hair cannot do this. When Hairprint is applied to damaged hair, your hair may turn darker or you may experience more dryness or brittleness due to preexisting damage.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSITIONING

We recommend starting the transition when you have at least 1-2” of new growth that has not been dyed/chemically treated.

Directions: First coat the chemically processed hair in thick coating of Shea Butter. Do not use oils. Thoroughly wash the treatment area only with the Prepare Pretreatment.

Apply Hairprint as instructed to the uncoated areas. You may need to reapply this coating between steps of the application process. Take care to avoid getting coatings onto the hair you are applying Hairprint to. For those with longer hair, you may need assistance from a hair coloring professional or a highly skilled family member/friend to transition to Hairprint. If you make a transition now, your hair will be much healthier long into your life.

Hairprint only works when it has unobstructed access to the hair. The best way to get started is to deep cleanse your hair by our using Chelating Shampoo 3-4 times the week before your Color Restorer application.

It will eliminate minerals, chlorine, calcification, silicone, and synthetic residues that cling to the hair and build up over time. Most haircare products and quite a few products labeled "natural" or "organic" contain quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), proteins that coat the surface of your hair, and silicones. These ingredients need to be removed and avoided to achieve best results.

Our gentle daily use shampoos and conditioners are ideal for regular use both before and after Hairprint Color Restorer. Each formula is free of synthetic residues and suitable for both virgin and color-treated hair. They rinse away leaving healthy, soft, clean hair.

* What are quats? These are bromine or chlorine salts of ammonia that act as antistatic agents, disinfectants and algicides. Many natural hair care companies justify quats because they can be made from canola or beet oil. Quats can descale the hair and make it softer. However, quats are poisonous to marine life. Quats cover the hair and can gelatinize the follicle. These include cetrimonium chloride, behentrimonium chloride, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, and all ingredients that end in -onium. Healthy hair doesn't need plastics. What is poisonous to fish is not good for you either.
