BEFORE ORDERING:

1. Hairprint Color Restorer works for naturally black, brown, and light brown hair only. We do not have a formula for blonde or red hair.
2. We ask that you be committed to using Hairprint for a minimum of 4-6 treatments before deciding if this is the right product for you.  While many customers do see great results the first time we find that most people really begin to appreciate the benefits of Hairprint after 4 treatments or more.  Also hair that has been chemically treated or gray or white for a long time sometimes requires more time before you really see the great results.
3. To determine what color to order or if you need two kits for your first application, see the Ordering Tips Tab.
4. If you have used hair dyes, relaxers, perms/waves, dyes, blowouts, or keratin treatments, please read our Transition Tips Tab before ordering. You will need to take special steps protect the processed hair and avoid having your hair go too dark.  If your hair is naturally dark you do not need to worry about this.

TO ENSURE OPTIMAL OUTCOME:

Hairprint works when it has unobstructed access to the hair. To learn more about ingredients that may negatively impact your treatment please read our article on Residue-free Hair.

To help remove synthetic residues, oils and hard water minerals please use our Chelating Shampoo leading up to your Hairprint True Color Restorer Treatment. The Chelating Shampoo will act as a clarifying shampoo and will also remove calcification, lime, iron and other minerals that adhere to the cuticle of the hair and follicles of the scalp.

Most commercial and quite a few “natural” hair care products contain quaternary ammonium compounds (quats)*, proteins, and/or silicones, and some shampoos contain soap that can leave a residual build up on the hair. We created a complete line of shampoos and conditioners to remove the buildup and gunk, and ensure healthy, soft, clean hair and optimal results from Hairprint.

We created our Amla, Bamboo, and Kelp shampoos and conditioners for regular use. They are for both color-treated and virgin hair. Each formula is free of synthetic residues. They rinse away leaving healthy, soft, clean hair.

*What are quats? These are bromine or chlorine salts of ammonia that act as anti-static agents, disinfectants, and algaecides. Many natural hair care companies justify quats because they may be made from rapeseed or turnip oil. Quats can defrizz the hair and make it feel softer. However, it is the MSG of hair care: addictive and unnecessary. Quats are toxic to the fish that end up swimming in them when you wash it down the drain. What something is made from does not matter. What it ends up as does matter. Quats coat the hair and may gum up the follicle. They include cetrimonium chloride, behentrimonium chloride, and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride. Healthy hair does not need synthetics. What is toxic to fish is not good for you either.

• To determine your selection of Hairprint Color Restorer, compare your current natural color, best seen at the nape of your neck, to the options on our Color Chart below.
• Please note, we recommend all those of Asian descent to start with using the dark option. Even if you believe your hair is more towards a brown shade, the original color seen at the nape of the neck is likely to be darker than the rest and this is what determines your true hair colour.
• If you fall in between two options on the color chart we suggest starting with the darker color for more consistent coverage of gray. One kit will sufficiently cover 6”-10” of growth depending on your hair thickness and porosity. If you have 50% or more gray hair,” you will need to use two kits initially following our double application method directions.
• Once you have successfully used Hairprint on all your hair you can continue to use Hairprint on your roots and new growth as needed, which only requires one kit.
• Root touch-ups, generally required every 3-6 weeks, can be done using half the normal recommended amounts of a full treatment, unless you have abundant or stubborn hair, in which case you may want to continue using a full kit.
