Expert Color Advice

Learn how to get—and keep—your natural-looking color.

Get your best color

The color on the box represents the color you are adding to your hair, so remember this simple formula: your current color + your best Natural Instincts shade = your new, natural-looking color. For best results, stay within two shades of your natural hair color.

Keep your color healthy-looking

Do…	Don't…
• select the Natural Instincts for Men that is closest to your natural hair color	• avoid swimming, but be aware that excessive chlorine can affect your color
• apply color to your most resistant grays first (beard, mustache, sideburns and temples)	• forget protection—wear a hat for prolonged periods in the sun
• perm first, then color—in the same day!	• use color on recently relaxed hair; wait one week and one shampoo
