How much colour?
If a customer has long hair, they should buy two boxes of hair colourant to get full coverage, suggests Morbach. If a customer is going for a drastic change they are also likely to need two boxes to get a more intense shade.
To stop colourants from staining the skin, advise customers to apply petroleum jelly or a skin cream over their forehead, hairline and nape of the neck before use.
Don’t worry, you can come back and finish the assessment in your own time.
