Yes, it’s generally recommended to perform a patch test with Helyx Hybrid Dye even if traditional tinting has been performed previously. Here’s why:
- Different Formulations: Hybrid dyes may have different ingredients or concentrations compared to traditional tints and dyes, which could potentially cause new sensitivities or allergic reactions.
- Individual Reactions: Clients may develop sensitivities over time, and a patch test helps ensure there are no adverse reactions to the new product.
- Safety First: Performing a patch test is a standard precaution to safeguard against potential allergic reactions or irritations, regardless of past experiences with other tinting products.
It’s best practice to conduct a patch test 24-48 hours before application to ensure client safety and avoid any unexpected issues.
