Do not exceed this time. Otherwise, you may not get the result you were hoping for.
Not the colour retention time you were hoping for. The entire chemical process of dyeing hair with permanent colours can be

pigments (approx. 10 to 20 minutes).
3. Colour synthesis from micropigments (approx. 20 to 30 minutes).
4. Crystallisation of pigments and reduction of the pH of the hair (approx. 30 to 40-
45 minutes).
As you can see, each step is very important, and this explains why dye exposure time is so long.
