How To Use2-in-1 Designer CombGET READYMake sure hair is dry, detangled & styled as you would normally wear it.Use an old towel to protect your clothing & household surfaces.Have paper towels and a clock or timer handy.Put on your gloves.STEP ONE MIX IT UP! Pull up the tab to remove plastic tip from Developing Crème [2] and unscrew nozzle. Shake Hi-Definition Highlighting Powder [1a] packette until contents settle at the bottom. Keeping away from face, tear as indicated. Pour entire contents of Hi-Definition Highlighting Powder [1a] packette into Developing Crème [2] bottle. Replace nozzle on Developing Crème [2] bottle securely. Place gloved finger over the tip, point bottle away from face and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds until totally blended. Unscrew cap of Hi-Definition Highlighting Crème [1b] tube and pierce the foil seal with outer end of cap. Squeeze every last drop of the Hi-Definition Highlighting Crème [1b] into the Developing Crème [2] bottle. Replace nozzle securely and, placing gloved finger over the tip, shake bottle vigorously for at least 15 seconds until totally blended. Clear nozzle of any unmixed product by squirting a little out. If mixture is still too thin, shake bottle for a bit longer.The mixture will turn a bright color to help you see where your highlights will appear. Don't worry, it is NOT the color your highlights will be.Once mixed, never reseal bottle or store color mixture in a closed container as it could burst. STEP TWO: HIGHLIGHTING WITH EASE!Squeeze the colored mixture from the bottle into either end of the 2-in-1 Designer Comb (read "CHOOSE THE HIGHLIGHTS YOU DESIRE"). Fill completely to the top to ensure best root to tip coverage. Place the comb against first area of hair to be highlighted, ensuring the teeth touch your part, at the roots. Slowly pull the comb down the hair. If mixture doesn't reach the ends, refill comb and place so that teeth overlap unfinished streak a little. Slowly pull down to the ends of hair. Continue to apply streaks in this way, on both sides of your part. DON'T GO OVER STREAKS ALREADY CREATED! Use the fine end of the comb to apply two or three streaks at the back of your head, using a mirror to help you. Be careful not to apply too close to existing streaks, particularly at the root area! Finish by using the fine end of the comb to apply subtle highlights to your bangs or hair framing your face. Place streaks further apart for increased subtlety. STEP THREE: TIME IT FLAWLESSLY! Leave the mixture on your head for the time determined during your STRAND TEST OR for 30 minutes. While you're waiting, pour any unused mixture down the drain. Once mixed, it will lose effectiveness after an hour. Tips from the Experts: Once a week substitute your regular conditioner for our Shine-Amplifying Conditioner to help maintain your vibrant, luscious shine. STEP FOUR: RINSE AND SHINE! Put on gloves. Rinse mixture off hair with warm water. Shampoo your hair thoroughly using a mild shampoo to stop the lightening process. Now, massage a quarter-size amount of Shine-Amplifying Conditioner [3] into your hair thoroughly. Leave on for 2 minutes before rinsing off. Dry and style hair as usual. Use the Shine-Amplifying Conditioner [3] once a week to maintain the beauty of your highlights for up to six weeks.

Choose the Highlights You Desire  2-in-1 Designer Comb Striking highlights – use the bold end of the comb on both sides of your part. Use the fine end of the comb on the back of your head and bangs. Best for hair that's shoulder length or longer, especially if worn loose. Subtle highlights – use the fine end of the comb all over. Leave a larger distance between highlights for increased subtlety – you control it! Best for short hair. Layered highlights – use a plastic clip to clip up the top section of your hair. Use the bold end of the comb to highlight the lower layer of hair first. Release another layer of hair from the clip and repeat. Continue to highlight each desired layer like this, working from the bottom to the top of your head. Best if you wear your hair in different styles. Retouching highlights – apply to root re-growth only – do not overlap onto any existing highlights. Make sure you place the comb so it's aligned with your previous highlights! For evenly spaced highlights, use the bold end of the comb all over! Let the spacing between the two streaks guide you on where to place the comb for the next pair of streaks – it's simple! But remember, ultimately there are NO RULES in choosing your style!!! Create your own personalized highlights however you want!

(The instructions are in your haircolor box.) It's an important step because it's the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting haircolor to achieve the resulting color.

Completely cover hair strand with mixture (or just root area if highlighting root re-growth only).Start timing. After 15 minutes (or 30 minutes if you want greater lightening), wipe the strand clean. If the strand is not the color you want, return it to the mixture and check the color every 5 minutes for up to a maximum of 45 minutes in total.

Here's to great hair!Clairol Frequently Asked QuestionsWHAT PRODUCTS DOES CLAIROL MAKE?Clairol makes haircolor products. Choose from Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos), Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos), Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) or Highlighting & Blonding to help you become colorwonderful™.SHOULD INDIVIDUALS WITH NATURAL, UNCOLORED HAIR USE DIFFERENT HAIRCOLOR PRODUCTS THAN THOSE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY COLORED THEIR HAIR?It depends on the desired result. If you are coloring your hair for the first time and only want to enhance your natural color, try a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product close to your natural haircolor. If you want to go lighter, you need to select a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) haircolor, then refer to the insert that comes inside your box of Clairol haircolor and follow the instructions for first time application.SHOULD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COVER GRAY HAIR USE DIFFERENT COLORING PRODUCTS THAN THOSE WHO DON'T NEED COVERAGE?Most Clairol haircolor products will blend or cover gray hair to some degree. If you have a small percentage of gray (not very visible), use a Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos) product, such as Loving Care. If you have a higher percentage of gray hair (up to 50%), use a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product such as Natural Instincts, which will blend away gray hair. On the other hand, if you have a lot of gray and want to cover it completely, use a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) product. If you have 50% or more gray, use Nice 'n Easy Gray Solution.HOW CAN I TEST-RUN A COLOR BEFORE COMMITTING TO COLORING MY ENTIRE HEAD OF HAIR?Strand test is a simple method for you to test haircolor on a portion of your hair before doing the entire application. (The instructions are in your haircolor box.) It's an important step because it's the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting haircolor to achieve the resulting color. A strand test will also help you determine the exact timing you'll need to color your whole head.WHERE CAN I FIND PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS?Product instruction inserts are inside your haircolor box.Additional Instructions - ColorIMPORTANT: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSHAIR COLORANTS CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS WHICH IN RARE INSTANCES CAN BE SEVERE.

Here's to great hair!Clairol Frequently Asked QuestionsWHAT PRODUCTS DOES CLAIROL MAKE?Clairol makes haircolor products. Choose from Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos), Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos), Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) or Highlighting & Blonding to help you become colorwonderful™.SHOULD INDIVIDUALS WITH NATURAL, UNCOLORED HAIR USE DIFFERENT HAIRCOLOR PRODUCTS THAN THOSE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY COLORED THEIR HAIR?It depends on the desired result. If you are coloring your hair for the first time and only want to enhance your natural color, try a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product close to your natural haircolor. If you want to go lighter, you need to select a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) haircolor, then refer to the insert that comes inside your box of Clairol haircolor and follow the instructions for first time application.SHOULD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COVER GRAY HAIR USE DIFFERENT COLORING PRODUCTS THAN THOSE WHO DON'T NEED COVERAGE?Most Clairol haircolor products will blend or cover gray hair to some degree. If you have a small percentage of gray (not very visible), use a Semi-Permanent (lasts through 8-12 shampoos) product, such as Loving Care. If you have a higher percentage of gray hair (up to 50%), use a Demi-Permanent (lasts through 28 shampoos) product such as Natural Instincts, which will blend away gray hair. On the other hand, if you have a lot of gray and want to cover it completely, use a Permanent (lasts until your hair grows out or you recolor) product. If you have 50% or more gray, use Nice 'n Easy Gray Solution.HOW CAN I TEST-RUN A COLOR BEFORE COMMITTING TO COLORING MY ENTIRE HEAD OF HAIR?Strand test is a simple method for you to test haircolor on a portion of your hair before doing the entire application. (The instructions are in your haircolor box.) It's an important step because it's the only way to see exactly how the shade you selected works with your starting haircolor to achieve the resulting color.
