After applying liver paste colored hair dye, it is important to let the color develop in the hair. This can take up to 30 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. Use this time to relax and avoid touching or manipulating the hair to ensure even color distribution.
After the time has passed, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for rinsing. Be careful to remove all excess color from the hair using warm water and mild shampoo. After rinsing, you can enjoy your natural liver paste colored hair with a healthy and shiny appearance.

Maintenance of liver paste colored hair
In order to maintain the natural look of your liver paste colored hair, it is important to use color safe products that preserve the color's intensity and shine. Avoid frequent hair washing to prevent the color from fading quickly. Also remember to protect your hair from the sun's harmful rays using hats or products with UV protection. Finally, you should ensure regular color touch-ups at a professional hairdresser to keep your liver paste color fresh and vibrant.

3. Protect the hair from the sun
Protect your liver paste colored hair from the sun's harmful rays by wearing a hat or scarf. The sun's UV rays can bleach and dry out your hair, which can ruin the natural look. Also choose hair products with built-in sun protection to minimize damage from the sun.
Use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to add extra moisture to your liver paste colored hair and protect it from environmental factors like wind and heat. These products will help maintain the intensity of the color and give you a healthy look that emphasizes the natural look you want.
4. Get regular color refreshes
To maintain a natural liver paste colored look, it is important to get regular color refreshes. This ensures that the hair remains smooth and fresh without unwanted wash-out or gray tones. Schedule appointments with your hairdresser for color refreshes every 6-8 weeks for best results.
When you get regular color touch-ups, your hairdresser can adjust the shades in your hair and add depth and dimension. This helps to maintain the natural liver paste colored look and gives a healthy glow to your hair. Be sure to follow the recommendations of your hairdresser regarding finishing at home for longer durability of the color.
