Do I need the crystals to use this? What happens if I don't use them?

Yes you do. I used it without and my hair turned brown. Eventually the brown washed away, after about a month. THere is no comparison to using it with the crystals -- you must have them!

When I was buying this at places like WalMart or Walgreens..(yes, we used to could buy this product in Walmart & Walgreens) the crystals....then When I was buying them later at a beauty supply (I am just a consumer) the crystals weren't there...I have used it without the crystals and can't tell any difference...I think the crystals were mainly to make the color "adhere" to your hair after a fresh bleaching procedure...but I can't tell any difference between using them and not. Good luck. I can no longer find this product anywhere...the last time I bought some I had to get it here at Amazon.

Hi, I never use the crystals. I'm told that the crystals can make your color last longer, but I never use them. I use Clairol Torrids 100 base clear with 30 weight peroxide to bleach out my roots which aren't super dark. Then after washing that out, I put this toner on with a plastic grocery bag on my head for about 40 minutes. My color does fade over time but overall looks decent for about 6 to 8 weeks. Hope that helps you. Wish they didn't discontinue this product. It's a good one. The salons that see my color all really like it. Stupid companies keep discontinuing the good stuff :)

Mine came with a bunch of extra crystals. I had the ones pictured, in addition to a whole set of teardrop shaped crystals.

I have an automatic kitty litter box and use the crystals. I use the crystals that they recommend, and they are fairly small. I have bought others and they are a lot chunkier and did not work as well. My cat has no problems with the crystals .

Contact Amazon. Don't know if you can get more crystals or if you would have to return and exchange for new lamp but can't hurt to ask. Good luck. It is such a beautiful lamp that I think it's worth the bother of returning for a new one.

I personally use it with a cleanser. I just mix the crystals in with some face wash in my hand until it forms a kind of paste, and then use it to scrub my face. I wouldn't use it on it's own. It's going to need some kind of binder.

Mine was ready to go out of the box. But if the little crystals are not all the way blue then you should plug it in until they turn blue before use.

I just used the picture. That worked for me. However if you can't go by the diagram just do what looks good. When you start laying the crystals out it starts to make more sense where they go. Number of arms and cups verses the crystals. Just have fun....

No, you really shouldn't; they'll clang together as you're trying to hang it and just get in the way. I did however, assemble the crystals with the "key rings" that allows them to hang from the chrome plate before we put the light up.

Are you using the right crystals? They should only be the "hotfix" or have adhesive that will activate with the heating tool. I bought some crystals from the craft store thinking they would work but when they kept melting I realized they actually had adhesive stickers in the back. After that no more melted crystals

No they don't but if you are looking into purchasing these gemstones its good to do some research on both the shapes and crystals you are buying.these stones are very powerful and a great mediatory tool and for contemplating as well my favorite piece is the Sodalite

Howdy , yes you can rinse the crystals like I do under my pur water filter . I do a half crystals and half carbon l in my filter mix Tetra power filter 30 with the U assemble large filters and can usually get at least 5 days on it before cryslal/carbon/ filter floss bag change out . I have two large Goldfish ( 12" long and a 24 " plecasumas ) and of course they create alot of waste .

It will dry too thick I think for the crystals but you could try a sample to see if it meets your approval it will dry clear.

I never tried that. However I don't think it would work very well as the crystal is not porous. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have no crystals in mine. Get in touch with the Company and find out if this is normal.

I'm fairly (not 100%) sure you can't. I had no luck doing crystals, which surprised me. It worked out for me anyway. I was able to make a super saturated solution that I could use in place of the Alum that is sold as 'Barber Alum'. You could probably use a small container to hold a solution and add the scent, but I doubt that's what you are looking for.

Don't do it Crystal! That will not only burn your stockings it will most likely start a fire. I have had this unit for a year and something popped in it yesterday. Make sure you buy the warranty like I did. Good luck. Kind regards, itsbeautiful
