AVCA Quick Touch Gray Hair Cover Dye – Dark Brown offers a practical way to color white hair and restore the appearance of natural brown hair. Its oxidative dye formula helps cover gray hair and white roots, giving hair a clear, even dark brown color in as little as 5 minutes. It features a dual-pump system that dispenses equal amounts of Part 1 and Part 2 when the center of the pump is pressed, making it easy to prepare and apply the dye in a shampoo-like manner without having to mix the entire contents of the bottle each time.
Its formula combines oxidative hair dyes with cleansing and conditioning ingredients, along with jojoba oil, Ceramide NP, collagen extract, green tea, and a range of hydrolyzed plant proteins to help maintain hair softness and shine during coloring. It also contains plant extracts to care for hair texture and the scalp, with application times adjustable between 5 and 13 minutes depending on the amount of gray hair and the nature of the hair. The Dark Brown shade gives a more natural, softer, and less intense appearance than black, especially on naturally brown or colored hair, with a practical 240 ml bottle that allows you to use only the amount needed to cover white roots and refresh the color as required.

Directions and Warnings:
- An allergy test is essential: Perform an allergy test 48 hours before each use, even if the dye or other dyes have been used before without problems.
- Hair dyes may cause severe allergic reactions: The formula contains PPD, resorcinol, and oxidative coloring ingredients, so safety instructions must be followed completely.
- Do not use the dye if you have previously had an allergic reaction to hair dyes or black henna tattoos, or if there is a rash, irritation, or wounds on the scalp.
- Do not use the product to dye eyebrows or eyelashes, and avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse the eyes thoroughly with water immediately.
- Wear protective gloves: Throughout preparation, application, and rinsing, and protect clothing and the skin around the hairline from staining.
- Make sure to dispense equal amounts of both parts and mix them thoroughly, and do not use either part alone or keep the mixture after mixing.
- Do not exceed the recommended waiting time; leaving the dye on for longer may make the color darker and stress the hair and scalp.
- Oxidative hair dyes are not recommended for anyone under 16 years of age, and consult a doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding if there are any health concerns.
- Stop use and rinse the hair immediately if severe burning, itching, swelling, or unusual irritation occurs, and seek medical attention if allergic symptoms appear.
- This is an oxidative dye, not a daily shampoo; use only as needed to cover gray hair. Keep the bottle closed away from heat, sunlight, and children, and review the package instructions before use.
