  This mixture should form a creamy paste and be used immediately .

Yes. RefectoCil Lash & Brow Tint can be used on pregnant and breastfeeding clients . The product is applied topically and is not known to be absorbed in a manner that would affect breast milk or the breastfeeding process. However, results may vary due to hormone levels during pregnancy, and some salons may require a doctor's clearance before performing the service .

10. What aftercare products extend the life of the tint?
RefectoCil Styling Gel is highly recommended as the best product to use after tinting to maximize longevity. It contains D-Panthenol, which helps seal the color and prevents fading while nourishing the hair. Wait 24 hours before using RefectoCil Care Balm, as its high fat content can affect the tint result within this timeframe .
