Does HeySilkySkin work for all hair colours?

Yes however users with very light blonde, red, or grey coloured hair may need to complete 1-2 sessions more than, for example, a user with brunette hair. This is because our Handset targets melanin in your hair which absorbs the light's energy, and melanin is more present in darker hair colours.

Do I need to wear eye protection when using HeySilkySkin?
