"Hi. Now you have to decide if you want to darken your hair, what darkening process or kit are you going to purchase. This kit right here is for touch ups. And that's if you just want to do a touch up on your scalp. If you just have a little bit of gray showing, that's what this little brush is for. You mix the color and work it like that. This kit right here is a full blown process. More like a professional line of products like we would use in the salon. And that's all of your steps where you mix your color with your developer. And here you want to make sure, this is very, very important if you're doing hair color, to know what color you want to achieve. There's always a guide on the side of the box that shows you what color you're starting with, what color you will end up with.

There's no other application. But this process also does not last very long. You would have to re-apply this every three or four weeks. So once you've decided which hair color kit you want to, want to use to darken your hair color, that's what this process is for, then you would go to the store, do your homework and process from there.
