Step 0:
* Drape a towel around your shoulders or put on a t-shirt you don't mind getting stained.
* Grab a wide tooth comb, a few hair clips, a timer and a cotton cloth.
* Divide your hair into four quadrants, by center parting hair from front to back, then from ear to ear. Clip each section onto head.
Step 1:
* Apply PROTECT 1 COLOR BLOCK BARRIER GEL directly to the skin along your hairline and ears to avoid staining.
Step 2:
* Squeeze the entire tube of COLOR 2 RICH CREAM PIGMENT into the ACTIVATE 3 NOURISHING COLOR DEVELOPER bottle (every drop counts!).
Step 3:
* Time to activate. Shake the bottle vigorously until the pigment and developer are fully combined.
a.) Put on the gloves and work one quadrant at a time starting from the back, and applying color in small sections using the tip applicator. Be sure to saturate your hair from roots to ends, and massage through to ensure even application.
b.) Once you finish the back, repeat the steps, starting from the crown and working towards the hairline, saving the finer hairs in front for last.
c.) After all your hair is coated with color, massage color into your scalp so you don't miss a strand.
d.) Clip your hair away from your face and neck, then let it process for 35 minutes. For stubborn grays, leave on for 45 minutes.
Step 4:
* Fully rinse color until water runs clear and cleanse with your favorite IGK shampoo. After cleansing, squeeze out excess water from the hair. Apply TREAT 4 POST-COLOR TREATMENT MASK generously to hair from roots to ends, combing through with a wide tooth comb. Leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
Step 5:
* Saturate a cotton cloth with the ERASE 5 STAIN-REMOVING CLEANSER, then gently dab and wipe any stained areas of the skin or work surface.

- Q
what do i need to do if i've previously dyed my hair red with a violet but are wanting a vibrant purple?
- Asked by lillian
- Official Answer By IGK - Brand EngageHello! The permanent color kits are capable of lightening virgin hair up to two levels, but cannot lighten hair that has been previously colored. If your hair has been previously colored, we recommend choosing a shade as dark or darker than your current color. You can refer to the expected results chart for each individual shade for a visual aid. If aiming to lighten previously colored hair, we recommend consulting with a professional stylist for a color corrective service.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this hair color be used for highlights?
- Asked by red
- Official Answer By IGK - Brand EngageHi! The permanent kits are intended for all over application and only lighten virgin hair up to two levels. They cannot lighten previously colored hair. If you're comfortable doing so, you can paint the color in sections on hair like highlights or lowlights but the color will not lighten like a bleach.Was this answer helpful to you

DIY haircolor in one box
I received a box of IGK color in exchange for my honest reviews. It came in well packed. Everything you need for DIY hair color in one box. The box includes Protect, Activate, Color, Treat, Erase and gloves. This product is vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and ammonia free. I've got the permanent A...

Disappointing Gray Coverage
I was so excited to try IGK's Permanent Color Kit because they are a cruelty free brand and the product is clean and vegan. My normal hair color is dark brown and I tried the color Back to Brown (5N). To be honest, I had gotten kind of lazy with covering my grays (which somehow seemed to multiply ra...

Great Grey Coverage
I use this for my husband as he has super stubborn grey hairs. This works WONDERS! Way more effective and longer lasting than any other drugstore hair dye we have tried.
Did not work at all
Hair Type Straight Hair
This didn'f work at all. Flowed the directions to a T and you can't tell it's any different at all. Let alone the color it was supposed to be. All it did was make my hair really dry.
Too dark
Hair Type Straight Hair
Be careful not to get a hair color that is pretty dark on the box because it will be very dark in real life
Don't do it
No matter how well a box dye is applied the damage it does just isn't worth it. I thought maybe this brand was better quality than dept store brands but that was not the case. Damaged my hair so bad I lost length & needed extensive color correction

Only product I use
Hair Type Straight Hair
Great gray coverage. Blends perfectly making my hair color look natural. I can easily go 8 weeks between color. Leaves hair silky soft with a healthy shine. No harsh chemical smell. It's like getting salon color at home for half the price. If you'd rather DIY, this is the product to use.
