Q: How do you apply ASP Extra Coverage Fashion Shades? A:

1. Perform a skin patch test 48 hours prior.
2. Mix 1:1.5 (color:developer) or 1:1 for extra coverage with ASP Crème Developer (use 3% / 10 vol for no-lift coverage).
3. Apply to dry or pre-washed towel-dried hair (pre-cleansing helps resistant grey).
4. Process 30–45 minutes (add 5 minutes for very resistant grey).
5. Emulsify, rinse, and shampoo with color-protect shampoo. For maximum coverage on very resistant hair, use 1 level darker or intense mix ratio.

• Even results without pre-mixing grey additives.
