Pulp Riot

Directions:

1. Do not use a conditioner or treatment prior to applying Pulp Riot
2. If pre-lightening the hair, make sure to completely shampoo out bleach or toner.
3. Do not mix Pulp Riot with a developer.
4. Apply Pulp Riot to clean, dry hair.
5. Saturation is key. Working with 1/2 inch sections makes saturation easy.
6. Leave on the hair for 25 to 40 minutes, without heat.
7. Rinse thoroughly with cool water. No shampoo. Conditioner on ends optional.

To Avoid Bleeding:

1. Rinse with cool water.
2. Use high water pressure.
3. If a dark color is used next to a light color, have an assistant hold hair with one of the colors outside the bowl when rinsing the other color.

After Care Instructions:

1. Do not wash for the first 2 days after application.
2. Wash with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner every few days or use a dry shampoo.
3. Shampoo the scalp area only and let the shampoo rinse through the rest of the hair.
4. Prolonged exposure to chlorinated water or well water will shorten the color cycle.

Lightening Considerations:

1. While Pulp Riot can be used on hair that is level 7 and above, the lighter the hair, the brighter the results.
2. For best results, we recommend lightening the hair to:  -level 7+ for Noir, Nightfall, Absinthe, Fireball, Cupid, Velvet, Aquatic, and Jam.  -level 9+ for Blush, Powder, Smoke, Lilac, Mercury, Lemon, and Sea Glass.

Silver, Charcoal, Black:

1. The base color of silver, charcoal, and black should be taken into consideration when mixing them with other colors.
2. Mercury is silver, it has a violet base.
3. Smoke is charcoal grey, it has a blue base.
4. Noir is black, it has a blue base.
5. If Noir is used directly next to a light color, care should be used when rising to avoid bleeding since two high contrast colors are used directly next to each other.
