- a vessel made of glass or faience - for mixing the components.
Paint and oxidizer should be mixed in equal volumes to obtain a completely homogeneous mass, after which you can proceed directly to the application of the coloring agent.
If the procedure of intensive clarification is carried out, then it is recommended to double the volume of the used oxidizing agent.
The staining procedure occurs in the following order:
- wash and dry hair,
- apply freshly prepared composition on the strands, departing from the roots by 10-15 mm,
- wait a quarter of an hour to 20 minutes,

Hair dye keen tone 9.1 + photo
Hello! Test paint Keen, tone 9.1. The original color is light brown with yellowness and regrown roots. The hair is very porous and the paint always leaves a lot. This paint has a very large amount and this is good news! One pack was enough, even left. I usually use 6% oxidizer, but it was not there, so I mixed 9 and 1.5. The texture of the paint is terrible. Not uniform with lumps. Painted on a dirty head. Put on the roots for 20 minutes, then on the main length and another 15 minutes. The color is beautiful, but it is washed off very quickly. From the ashy shade there will be no trace in a week.
Girls! What nonsense you write about the paint!
So, after reading all the comments, I have already begun to be afraid. My brown hair is a little red. I always used to paint with different professional paints to a blonde with the color 12.0, on my roots I got the very blond that I like so much. I decided to try Keen too 12.0 (platinum blond, but on my hair it is a natural blond, warm shade). I dilute 1 tube for 2 bottles of oxide number 6. I put the paint on the roots, held it for 40 minutes, washed it and everything)) Everything worked out smoothly and well, a little shade at the very beginning of the roots in beige, but this is almost not noticeable. I want to say that every master in his paint should be a pro. We ourselves can not guess if we get what we want or not. Maybe if I had painted this company in the salon it would have turned out better, but you can live like that too)
And further. what .. are you painting 12% platinum? Yes, I wonder how my hair never fell off. Themselves to blame and paint down.
My experience 7.1 + photo
Hair dye Keen, shade 7.1 ash-blond, Made in Germany.
About 2 years ago, I decided to go out of the blond in my light-gray ashy. But it was not there when I began to grow my hair, I found gray hair and there was quite a lot of it, so I had to decide something. to paint in blond again or to look for your blond tone.
At first, I was painted with Igor, which gave me a greenish tint, then with a few other cheap paints in blond. - it was a horror.
Then she decided on the famous Kutrin 6.16 marble lava - there is also a review about him.
After Kutrin, the hairdresser painted me in 3D staining level 5.
And after all this history, I acquired KEEN 7.1 with the hope of having a natural cold color.
My native tone is at level 7 with ash.
I took a non-samoach paint with 3% oxide for toning.
Divorced, put on regrown roots about 2 cm
Photo, here you can see the original color and paint on the roots:
25 minutes later she drew the paint along the entire length of the hair. left for 7 minutes
After proemulsirovala warm water for 5 minutes.
I washed away and that's what I have:
I didn’t notice a particularly unpleasant smell, the paint doesn’t flow, it is quite comfortable. There is no burning of the scalp. Hair dropped a little.
It seems all the rules, but the color is not pleased.
The paint is really taken unevenly on the hair, as many girls write.
In daylight, without the sun as a whole is normal, the hair is like light brown, but in the sun they are just red-brown. There is no talk of ash or ash. Alas.
If you need a cold blonde is not an option, alas.

I've been using Keen for two years now. Basically, I like her. A little dry strands, but I have them fat, so in my case it is not very significant.
Nina Yagodkina, 44 years old.
I like this tool, but it's hard to buy. We have to order from other cities. But the result is worth it.
Liza Petrova, 35 years old.
I paint only Keen in the cabin. At home it is difficult to find the right shade.
