BioKap should not be used with Henna, or on Henna-treated hair. If your hair has Henna, wait at least 1 to 3 months before applying BioKap, and during these months wash your hair as often as possible in order to make sure Henna is completely gone before applying BioKap. The same applies for hair treated with Indigo powder.
If you’re unable to find the perfect colour in the BioKap range, you may mix different colours together, provided that they have the same development time.
Any residual hair dye that has been already mixed and is ready for use cannot be stored and used later. It is also essential to perform the patch test 48 hours before each application. This must be done, even if you have already used a colouring product from this or another brand, because individual sensitivity to the dyes may change over time. A preliminary strand test should be carried out to check the final colour. Proceed by mixing varying amounts of the chosen colour tubes in the same bottle of Nutrifix Colour Developer.

We recommend that you do a sensitivity test 48 hrs prior to any BioKap application and that you do a strand test on a hidden lock to make sure the final colour result matches your requirements.

Hair colouring products must not be used if the user:

All products in the BioKap Nutricolor range are “Nickel Tested” as shown on each pack.
The finished products of all production batches are subjected to analysis, which has always shown a maximum amount of nickel far below the safe limit of 1 ppm 0.0001%), below which clinical trials have never shown an allergic reaction to this mineral. Regardless, it is necessary to perform a patch test 48 hours before using the product.
In case of an allergic reaction during application, as for instance intense itching, skin burning or skin rash, immediately stop using the product and immediately rinse with warm water. In this case, before applying a new dye, consult a Dermatologist.
Results
BioKap dyes provide coverage of grey hair from the first application. For best results we recommend the following:
– with less than 50% grey hair, use a shade similar to your own to maintain your colour
– with more than 50% grey hair, use a darker shade than your own to achieve your colour.
The dye will disappear after a few washes. To prevent stains, however, you can apply the protective cream supplied in the pack, or another oily cream, around the edge of the scalp.

HOW TO
No, the product must not be used to dye eyelashes, eyebrows, beards, moustaches, underarms, back. The products are specifically formulated for head hair colouring only.
Delicato range: For correct application, the development time is a total of 35 minutes. It is recommended to apply the dye on any regrowth, leaving it on for approximately 20 minutes, and then distribute it along the length of the hair, leaving it on for another 15 minutes. In case there is no regrowth, apply the dye on the whole length and leave it on for 35 minutes.
RAPID range: 10 to 15 minutes.
The Hair Lightening Cream should be applied in the same way as the BioKap Nutricolor Dye, with some small changes:
– to lighten hair by 1-2 shades: apply over the entire length of the hair, leaving it on for 30/40 minutes;
– for highlights: apply to small sections using the special applicator, wrap in aluminium foil and leave on for 30 minutes.
Some guidelines: if your natural colour is
– dark blonde, your hair will turn light blonde
– brown, your hair will turn light brown
– red, be careful as the colour could become orangey
– dark brown/black, application is not recommended.
If the chosen colour is one or two shades darker than your natural colour, you can lighten your hair using BioKap Nutricolor Delicato Hair Lightening Cream*. If the chosen colour is one or two shades darker, you can apply a lighter shade of dye. Before doing any of this, it is advisable to wait 4-5 weeks from the first dye. If the chosen colour is much lighter or much darker, it is advisable to contact your hairdresser.
*Do not use it to lighten dark brown/black hair
Yes, it is. Each dye is different and because there may be allergies to even the most innocuous products such as certain foods (nuts, tomatoes etc.), it is essential to perform the patch test 48 hours before each application. This must be done, even if you have already used a colouring product from this or another brand, because individual sensitivity to the dyes may change over time.
Mix a small amount of BioKap Nutricolor Colouring Cream with an equal amount of Nutrifix Colour Developer lotion. As a container you can use a lid, a paper cup or a coffee cup.
Using a cotton bud, apply a small amount of the product behind the ear or in the crook of the elbow, enough to cover an area equal in size to about 1 cm square.
Repeat this two or three times, letting it dry in between. Close the colouring cream tube and the Nutrifix lotion bottle carefully, then wait 48 hours without washing, covering or touching the area.
If itching, redness or other skin abnormalities occur during this period, do not use the product and consult a dermatologist before using any other colouring product.
The skin sensitivity test is a sensible precaution that can reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of an allergic reaction, even in the event of a negative result. If, after this period, no itching, redness or swelling is evident, apply the BioKap Nutricolor Dye product.
