Do I need to bleach my hair first?
Pre-lightening is recommended when you want bright, high-saturation results, particularly on darker hair. Without pre-lightening, colors may appear deeper or more subtle.
Do I need to mix the formula with developer?
No. The semi-permanent formula does not require developer and can be applied after the ColorBox formula has been dispensed and thoroughly mixed.
How long does the color last?
Semi-permanent color gradually fades with washing. The exact duration varies depending on the selected shade, pigment coverage, hair condition, porosity and washing routine.
Can I refill the cartridges myself?
No. The cartridges are designed specifically for the ColorBox dispensing system. Refilling them may affect viscosity, sealing and dispensing accuracy.
Can I use the cartridges without a ColorBox device?
These cartridges are designed specifically for the ColorBox hair color creator system and are intended to be dispensed through the compatible device.
Is the formula vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. The ColorBox hair color formula is described as vegan and cruelty-free.
Does starting hair color affect the result?
Yes. Your natural or current base color can significantly affect the final result. Lighter hair generally produces brighter, more vivid shades.
Should I perform a test before coloring?
Yes. A patch test should be completed before use, and a strand test is strongly recommended so you can preview the actual result on your hair.
