Has anyone tried reapplying the same shade on the day after coloring in order to blend missed spots? Should I wait a week &amp; live with zebra stripes?

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

technically yes, make sure it's a light color you get or the color isn't going to show up. I think it's too fragile to hold up to bleaching/coloring multi-step processing. I'm not affiliated with the company or anything, so I could be wrong. this is based on my personal experience with the extensions. I wasn't able to use them more than a month before they were beyond repair.

we're doing ours in full sun and in sections for the same reason. I will caution you, watch the youtube videos before you begin. I'm finding it's a lot more difficult to get this stuff on evenly....we plan to do a third coat. If you decide to go ahead with using the product, be sure to mix it as well as you can and cover anything you don't want splattered. it may be a good product when it's all done and said, but if I knew then, what I know now, I would have just recovered with a different stain product.

Don't use is for a few of days and you will lose your buildup. I've not had any trouble with ugly buildup, but I am careful with use around dry areas like knees and heels. I have fair skin and it gives me a really nice tan with daily use, but my tan will fade quickly if I don't apply the Malibu "Hemp" for several days.

It may work but will blend in somewhat if this is your normal color. The product works well for about 5 - 6wks but then needs reapply. If not your normal color, choose a color that is closer to your normal color. At least it washes out! Good luck!

I would suggest mousse, that way you are assured better coverage.Editing to add: I used the rinse a handful of times before giving up on it, and switching products to a mousse temporary dye.

try using the conditioner that came with the package and leave it in for a long time. the highlights seem to fade fast, so in a few daysit will look fine

Don't apply both products, just use the night cream, and reapply pigment gel in am under makeup

I used 20% of another brand? Because Redken was unavailable everywhere. I would have to check but it was a similar product with no peroxide. Everyone was out of 20% so I had to send far away for it and time was of the essence so I went ahead with the other brand and ordered the 30% of Chromatics just in case it didn

I've seen a blog that showed great results from 50%. I don't remember the exact site but do a google search. he showed before and after images after one use and it faded a lot. I believe he used 50% for 4 minutes then reapplied for another 4 mins then neutralized and washed off. Im thinking to try this later but I also saw an article linking TCA to liver cancer so I'm on the fence about it. I definitely got no results trying to fade with glycolic acid, so it's either TCA or laser, but don't listen to people who say TCA doesn't fade tattoos.

I noticed chalkiness initially, but I applied less to see if that helped. It did, and also I noticed that after half an hour, there was no residual look. It needs time, like most make up, to meld with your skin I think.

I'm in the shade NC55 for MAC, and this works great for me, but it all depends on your undertone. I have yellow undertones in my inner face, and red undertones everywhere else, but I can use this as an all over. For yourself, I would try it out because I can use it on myself, and friends your shade, but again, be careful about your undertone. Undertone is everything, and can really mess up how powder/foundation looks on a person.

Yes. I usually just use water but baking soda and water may be even better. Start with a lower concentration and don't leave it on long. And a day or two later redo the same spot. Good luck!

I'm very pale, no freckles, and I had slight sun damage/ discoloration along my hairline. The discoloration is completely gone. I'm sure I will have to be vigilant with sunscreen to keep it from returning. It took about a month for all the darkness to fade.

From my experience it should be enough. But few things to note: 1. Check on a small patch. I did an initial mistake for similar thing which turned to different color. 2. I bleached that spot completely and applied. It worked for me. ( I am not an expert, but worked :) for me) 3. Let the trail part completely dry to see the difference, while applying it might look light and it gets darker. 4. Trying color in cotton swab and on material was different from my experience. As the cotton was pure white, but applying it on existing color it was different. ( basic thing on color combination but I went wrong with it initially and hence adding it) HTH.. Good luck

I've used this product for about 2 months and I love it. As far as pigmentations? I'm not sure what to say. I get a great looking color each time I apply it. I don't have any pigmentations, but I'm guessing it will not. I have two very large scars on each knee due to surgery and it seems to help them fade. I would guess it will color evenly so it may not help, but doubt it will hurt.

Absolutely. I can extend my foil highlight/lowlight by 2 weeks or more...even almost a month more. The color continues fresh and not drab.
