There is no recuperation time, and an aftercare kit will be provided with further instructions. The scalp will heal itself in a week. During the healing period, swimming, heavy sweating and sun exposure must be avoided.
Keeping the scalp clean is very important. Some areas of the scalp may be red from irritation for approximately 24-72 hours, and this is usually more pronounced on clients with lighter complexions.
After 1 month the applied pigment will cure to its final shade, approximately 20-30% lighter than initially applied. Wearing a hat or sunscreen during extended periods of sun exposure is your best protection in the long term.
