-
Couplers (e.g., resorcinol family) that determine the final burgundy tone.
-
Developer (commonly hydrogen peroxide) to lift and develop colour.
-
Alkaliser (e.g., ammonia or monoethanolamine) to open the cuticle for penetration.

Conditioning agents and emollients for slip, softness and shine after colouring.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will 4BG cover my greys?
A: Yes—when used as directed, Nice’n Easy permanent shades are formulated to cover greys and blend them with the rest of your hair for a natural result.
Q: How long does the colour last?
A: As a permanent colour, it won’t wash out; expect the shade to soften over weeks with washing and sun exposure. Root regrowth usually appears in 3–6 weeks depending on hair growth.
Q: Can it lighten my hair?
A: Permanent colour can slightly lighten natural hair but won’t significantly lighten previously coloured hair. For big lightening changes, seek a professional lightening service.
Q: Do I need an allergy test every time?
A: Yes. Perform a 48-hour allergy alert test before each application, even if you’ve coloured before.
Q: How do I apply it?
A: Mix colour crème with developer as per the leaflet. Apply to dry, unwashed hair. For first-time, saturate from roots to ends; for root touch-up, start with regrowth then refresh lengths briefly. Rinse until water runs clear and apply the after-colour conditioner.
Q: Will it work over henna or progressive dyes?
A: Results are unpredictable. Colour may not take evenly. Consult a professional or allow sufficient grow-out.
Q: How do I minimise staining?
A: Apply barrier cream along the hairline, wear the provided gloves, and wipe any drips immediately.
Q: Aftercare tips?
A: Use colour-safe shampoo/conditioner, limit heat styling, and protect from sun/chlorine to help reduce fade and maintain shine.
Q: Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
A: Many people choose to consult their health professional before colouring; always apply in a well-ventilated area and follow all directions.
Q: What if my hair feels dry afterwards?
A: Use the included after-colour conditioner and incorporate weekly masks or leave-ins. Reduce heat and ensure proper hydration.
