A few tips to help you color with total confidence:
Skin Allergy Test - Madison Reed always recommends you do a sensitivity test before coloring your hair. At least 48 hours beforehand, mix 1 part Radiant Cream Color (a small squeeze) with 1.5 parts Conditioning Color Activator (a few drops). Use a cotton swab to apply a quarter-sized amount to a small patch of skin behind your ear or inside your elbow. Keep dry. Wait 48 hours. If there is no sign of change to the area, then you're ready to color. Always consult your physician if you have questions or concerns. If you've had a sensitivity to hair color in the past, you may be more likely to have a reaction.
Please see the instructions included in your Radiant Hair Color kit for the best application to achieve your desired results.
Tips and tricks from the experts - Wear a shirt or smock that buttons or zips up the front to make cleanup easy. Begin with dry, unwashed hair. The day after your last shampoo is best for coloring. Make sure hair is free of styling products as they coat hair and may block the color.
Total Color Processing Time = 35 minutes (or 45 minutes for maximum gray coverage)

I have naturally dark brown hair but have had it colored black for years.I've been using MR Pescara or Postiano for several years. I would like red highlights. Which of the Red Shades would work best? Also any specific details I need to pass on. I'm going to have my hair highlighted by a professional hairdresser. Like Trieste Red which is a dark mahogany but I like the Rimini which is a dark garnett red. I notice it is not as good at coverage of gray but the color is gorgeous. The only color available locally right now is Trieste Red. What do you recommend?

- Q
I have auburn hair reddish brown. I don't like it real red would the 7.5 nna umbra light brown work
- Asked by Hair buff
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationThe Umbria Light Brown will be a more neutral shade with ash tones that will help neutralize unwanted red tones. If you are looking to keep some of the more natural warm tones and have minimal gray, you may consider the Lucca Light Brown. If you want to eliminate as much warmth as possible and have a significant % of gray we would recommend the Umbria Light Brown.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Hair color kit instead of using all in once , can i use half and half later on? After open the box. If i take half color and activater in bowl and left over unuse color can i use after couple weeks when i need?
- Asked by Naya
- Official Answer By Madison Reed - SyndicationMadison Reed Radiant Cream color kits are created to make at home hair coloring a convenient and seamless experience. We do not suggest mixing in small portions as this may affect end-results. It’s imperative to your results that enough product is used to fully saturate your strands. If you do mix smaller portions, we strongly suggest using a kitchen scale to get accurate measurements. Our mixing ratio is 1 part color to 1.5 parts activator. If your kit contains any of the following shade 9N, the mixing ratio changes to 1 part color to 2 parts activator. It is important to make sure to cap the remaining product separately and air-tight for future uses. Pro-tip! When mixing smaller portions be sure to use non-metallic items to do so.Was this answer helpful to you

BEAUTIFUL COLOR - But a bit dark
This color could not be more natural looking. I was previously coloring my hair a light brown/ash blonde and wanted to go a medium/light brown copper red. The preview photos of this color are all very different. I was hoping to turn out on the lighter side, but mine came out pretty dark, but it is o...

Never Again
My color quiz matched me with lighter shades of blonde but I opted for this (it was still one of my matches) because it was darker and I am always afraid of going too light at home. According to the swatch online it did not look too far off of my natural color so I didn't think anything would go wro...

0% gray coverage for a 100% gray coverage product
The color is great, cool brown as my hair pulls red. I left the product on for 45 minutes per direction for gray coverage, unfortunately, my grays are still gray. This is not a formula for gray hair coverage. Better coverage from a drug store than this product priced almost three times higher.
I would like to buy this product again and again

Does Not Cover Gray
Well, I wanted to try this for the gray coverage. Didn't happen. It also turned my hair a brass color. I sure hope I can return it. For a box color to cost this much, it should be better.
