Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How long does the result last? The colour gradually washes out and usually lasts approximately 4–10 washes. Longevity depends on the shade, starting colour, hair quality, porosity, and history of chemical treatments.
• Which hair colour is Cacao suitable for? The manufacturer recommends it for medium-dark to dark hair at levels 2–6. For lighter hair, it is recommended to dilute the shade with White Mix, as the effect may be too intense or unwanted staining may occur.
• Does it cover grey hair? No, Colour Refresh does not cover grey hair because it contains temporary pigments and does not work like a permanent hair colour.
• Can the mask lighten the hair? No, Colour Refresh does not lighten the hair. It can only adjust the tone, add a colour accent, or slightly darken the hair depending on the starting colour.
• Can it be used on highlighted or colour-treated hair? Yes, it can be used on colour-treated and chemically treated hair, but it is always important to choose a shade compatible with the current hair colour and to perform a strand test first.
• Is the product suitable for children? The manufacturer does not recommend use on children, as the safety assessment is based on use by adults.
