How long do I keep the colour on ? Doesn't specify time. Also instruction says to blow dry, does that mean I straight away blow dry , without rinsing ?

This is a leave in that distrbutes that blends in some color, then washes out the next day. Just put some thru your hair, and blow dry. You can use it everyday, I do. It does not completely change your hair color, it just blends in. I use the true steel on my bleach blonde hair, to cast a little ash. It also help neutralize brass and blend when your roots start coming in. You'll love it!

LOL, Yes I can help you, after you wash your hair use the smallest amount put through your hair, wait a few minutes and rinse, try to leave a little in and blow dry , this is amazing stuff espically for color treated hair or difficult hair (like mine) I LOVE this stuff!

no you do not have to blow dry. you can let it air dry but you will need to brush thru and style it after it is dry.

I only use regular polish and don't actually time it. I usually use the dryer for 2-3 minutes and they're tacky, but I dryunder the dryer after each coat. Then when I'm finished I put on Quik dry. I no longer work so I have the advantage of time.

Hi Colleen, What kind of lamp are you using? I have the cheap Sensationail LED one and I only do 60 second per coat - 2 minutes seems highly unnecessary unless you're using a UV lamp (which I recommend you get rid of... UV lamps tan/age your hands, go for LED!). What brand are you using for the polish colour? If it's not OPI, that might be why you're having issues. A lot of brands aren't super compatible, especially if you're using a drugstore brand (non-pro) with OPI. I use the OPI base & top coats mostly with OPI colour and it always lasts until I remove it or it grows off. If you find yourself frequently wetting/drying your hands (e.g. a weekend spent at the beach frequently in and out of the water) you might find it starts peeling because that amount of expanding and shrinking of your nails is going to make it difficult for the polish to stay adhered. If you have naturally oily skin/nails it might just mean that gel polish isn't going to work for you. But if you've had gel polish done at a salon and it's worked just fine, then something in your technique isn't working. Finally, get the OPI bond-aid - if that doesn't help the gel polish stick to your nails (I don't use it because I find it makes it too hard to remove), then I think you're out of luck with gel polish. Try shellac (chips like crazy on me but I know it works for other people really well).

A few days. But it will dry out your hair. If your hair is dry is takes a while for it to color. If it's wet not so much. I won't buy it again.

I had it done at the salon before purchasing it on Amazon: Use In place of conditioner. The salon used the spray nozzel that is sold separately and goes on the protect itself. I used a very small travel spray bottle (just pour it in), then sprayed it all over my hair and left it on for at least 10 minutes. Rinse and style. The salon left it on for 10 minutes also.

You leave it on for 30 minutes without heat, or 15 minutes with. I can't imagine doing this every time you wash your hair. It's a gloss treatment, not conditioner.

A little goes a very long way. I use a fraction of a drop for my older, color-treated, and short hair during and after the blow dry. If I go a day without washing, I add another fraction of a drop and refresh with a light blow dry. Humidity has always caused my hair to frizz miserably (not helped, I suppose, by the color treating). Now, even when I go sailing on a high humidity day, my hair is only minimally affected. But the oil still doesn't weigh hair down. This is a gift from the heavens.

Hi Lindsey, I only use this as a concealer. I use a small concealer brush to scoop a tiny bit of product out ( this product is very concentrated) dab gently on to my dark circles with the brush. Wait a minute for it to dry a little, maybe 30-60 seconds. Then I use my beauty blender lightly dab around and smooth it out. I would also apply a thin layer of Ben nyn banana powder on top to set (with a large blending brush or beauty blender if I'm lazy) . This would usually last me at least 11 hours. Hope this helps =)

If you dont wash it off within the three hour mark and sweat really bad a little will come off. I started using the "darker" amd it works alot better and does not come off with sweat

Blow drying does lighten it. Haven't had any problem with it coming off on a flat iron or curling iron, but it dulls the color a bit!

I use a little vinegar and water....let is set for no more than 15 minutes...then water only for 15 mins....then dry it off...just a little vinegar...you don't want to overwhelm it.

there are instructions on the side of the bottle. I have never followed them - just use common sense. many times have just added an ounce full strength and swirled it around - it will turn colors. put an ounce in and app 1 cup of hot water if you must mix it - that sounds about right - it is great stuff - works wonders . . . . .

The instructions suggest and it would probably be best if you waited 24 hours before washing your hair after you use the color. Also, a shampoo formulated for colored hair seems to help the color last.
