How to Use
Read the leaflet and do the skin allergy test 48 hours before every use, even if you have used Colorsilk before. Put on the gloves, add the colorant to the developer bottle, and shake until blended. Apply to dry, unwashed hair, starting at the roots for touch-ups or working from roots to ends for a full application, then wait 25 minutes. Rinse with warm water until it runs clear, apply the after-color conditioner, leave it for two minutes, and rinse. Store unopened kits in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight, and discard any mixed color you do not use right away, since it cannot be saved for later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hair color will I get with Revlon Colorsilk shade 49 Auburn Brown?
Shade 49 is a medium brown with auburn red-brown reflections. On light or medium brown hair it gives a noticeable reddish-brown; on dark brown hair the auburn shows as a warm sheen in sunlight, and on black hair the change is subtle. It is lighter and more natural-looking than shade 31 Dark Auburn, which is deeper and more intense.
How do I apply Revlon Colorsilk 49 Auburn Brown?
Do the skin allergy test printed in the leaflet 48 hours before coloring. On the day, wear the gloves, pour the colorant into the developer bottle, shake, and apply to dry, unwashed hair from roots to ends. Leave it on for 25 minutes, rinse until the water runs clear, then work in the after-color conditioner and rinse again.
Is Revlon Colorsilk 49 ammonia-free, and does it cover gray hair?
Yes on both counts, according to the packaging. Colorsilk 49 Auburn Brown is an ammonia-free permanent formula, so there is no sharp ammonia smell during application, and Revlon states 100 percent gray coverage. Because the color is permanent, it grows out rather than washing out, so plan on a root touch-up every few weeks.
How many boxes of Colorsilk 49 do I need for long hair?
One kit is designed for one application on short to medium hair. If your hair is past the shoulders, or very thick, buy two boxes so you do not run out before the ends are saturated, which causes patchy color. The Pack of 3 and Pack of 6 options are the practical choice for long hair or regular root touch-ups.
