What to avoid with Cherry Cola

Using only red reflect without brown Looks pure red, not cherry cola — the brown /7 is essential for the drink effect

Very damaged or porous hair Reds fade twice as fast on porous hair

Professional tips

The key formula mixes violet /5 with brown /7 and a touch of red /6 reflect
Difference from black cherry: cherry cola is more brown, less black, warmer
Recommend lukewarm (not hot) water for washing — reds fade with heat
