Hair Detox
Hairprint’s patented and gentle gray restoration treatment needs to be applied to clean hair that is free from residues. Synthetic ingredients such as quaternary compounds (quats) and silicones coat the hair and block Hairprint from working. These ingredients are called ‘tenacious film formers’ by the very chemists who formulate hair products. They are essentially hair make-up. But unlike make-up on placed on the skin, they are not removed. Also, please avoid protein shampoos, conditioners and treatments as they are also designed to coat the hair in order to create the appearance of healthy hair.
Please read carefully the list of ingredients below and then familiarize yourself with the ingredients in the shampoos, conditioners, and styling products you are currently using. These ingredients you want to avoid. When hair is truly clean color restoration is possible and the results will be longer lasting.

- Conventional shampoo, conditioners, and styling products.
- Hair bar shampoos, Castile Soap, and 100% Pure shampoos.

Treat your hair with:
- Use Chelating Shampoo twice before your Hairprint True Color Restorer Application, leave on for 5 minutes, rinse. If you notice that after using the Chelating Shampoo your hair feels sticky or oily please follow up with a second cleanse. Stickiness is a sign of excessive build-up of silicone and quats.

24 hours before application:
- Wash with Chelating Shampoo, leave on 5 minutes and rinse. Do not follow with any other products. If your hair is prone to being dry, you can use an apple cider vinegar rinse following this wash.
