How long do you leave the color mixed with developer in your hair?

I have grey hair and leave it in for 40 minutes. You can leave it in up to 60 minutes--after that length of time it will stop processing.

My hair starts looking greasy about 36 hrs after washing. This buys me at least two days. I could probably go 3 more days without it looking horrible. My hair is mixed brown and gray, so I use this at night. When I brush it out the next morning, you can't see the residue anymore. Right after I spray it on, it does leave my hair looking more gray than normal.

Well that depends on how light your trying to go. If u just want some lift to a brown/light brown you can just use any 20 vol developer with this bleach up to 30-45 mins. Then apply the color ur going for. Otherwise if your trying to be really blonde and you have NEVER dye your hair before then use 30 vol instead you'll get a lighter result instantly. I do not suggest dying your hair more than once per day just becuz you want to be lighter and didn't achieve it the first time. Going from black to a much lighter color is a process and it may take more than once of dying. Btw I'm a license profession I hope this helps Well that depends on how light your trying to go.

No you can continue to store it in a cool place that is listed on the bottle, because it is a semi-permanent formula. It goes straight on your hair, no need to mix anything else on it. With permanent hair color, what you mix, starts to ruin after an hour or so. Bleach especially cannot be kept, if you are using a box bleach, because it starts to become combustible. But these, and MOST I can't speak for all, CAN be kept because I will keep mine for touch ups or add them in to a white conditioner to make it more vibrant. But I would buy them directly from Manic Panic or a Sally's.

You have to use a developer with any color. Developers come in different strengths depending on how much you want / need to lighten your hair.

the formula given to me by my daughter who is a hairdress in another state is 1 oz #7 1/4 oz #6.45 and 1 1/2oz of 20 vol developer. My hair turns out medium brown hair with some red hight lights. The front of my head is all gray and it covers it well. I leave it on for 25 minutes. I do just the roots then in the last five minutes i rub it through my whole head. Good luck.

Depends how much gray you have. Beware that the grey will pick up the red exclusively/ If you use RED henna, the drk brown is beautiful with red shading. But if you are grey you need to go 1 shade deeper, like chestnut. I used the RED on my daughters dark brown hair [ long] and she got a ton of compliments. If you are a little worried about to much red, just mix the henna with strong coffee, which is what I used to do when I worked in a salon . Henna does not lighten your hair, it only deposits color. Also the timing determines how bright it is. Keep the color on for only 45 minutes . Another factor is mixing the color and letting it set. If you mix and let it set for 1 1/2 to 3 hours before applying, your color will be redder. So if you mix the RED with strong lukewarm coffee and apply it to WET hair , let it set on your hair with a bag for 45 minutes , than rinse out, apply conditioner like it is shampoo[ this will help it set and will still clean your hair] you will have a knockout gorgeous color that will NOT be too red. Just some tips from someone that has done this many times[ still a successful hairdresser too.]Would love to hear how your hair looks afterwards!

I think u should focus on your ends since they are the most susceptible to damage. Also, protein treatments like this are meant to strengthen hair, and if u use it too often u will end up with very hard straw like hair. It works wonders when used between coloring or processing hair. The directions say to leave on for 30 mins, 45 mins for hair that needs it. I use it once every 6 weeks or so 1 cap full mixed in with a good deep conditioning mask.

After shampooing hair, towel dry it, then distribute foam throughout hair. Leave on 5-15 minutes (or longer if you want, you can put a shower cap on while it's in) then rinse it out, and use conditioner as usual. It's a semi-permanent color (unless a dark color is used on light hair, then it would be more permanent and probably never fade completely). But if you use the violet to take out brassiness in blonde hair like I do, then use probably once a month or so. I have used after dying hair with a box color and once after a salon coloring when the blonde was a little too yellow, and I've used on my natural blonde hair as well.

I got this in mid-March and had my hairdresser bleach out the bottom 5" and do an ombre. I brought home the other half tube and mixed it with conditioner that I use to touch up the color. As it fades, on me it's gone a lighter blue and purple with maybe a little green, but not much. It's actually a nice color mixture as it fades.

You could , but it is better when mixed with conditioner and left on a few minutes. I prefer to use it like hair dye. Put on dry hair all over my head and leave on for 25 min or longer depending on how vibrant you want it. It gives tremendous condition & shine to your hair

About ten minutes. It will hold its color for 4-5 weeks before you have to reapply to maintain good color. You can leave on less if your dog gets restless and wants to shake and spread the dye where you don't want it. Any overlap on areas not wanted can be quickly shampooed out.

It's a cream in a tube only you don't need to mix it with developer. All bleaching/lifting should be done prior to using the color.

It works well and it is not too light. Its darker than a strawberry blonde. My hair is really fine and shorter than yours and I use half of a box each time. I would say a full box would be plenty for you. Here's a tip....when you mix it, let it sit for at least 90 minutes before putting it on your hair. Then you don't have to leave it on as long. I have lots of gray to cover so I leave it in about 45 mins after letting it sit for 90. Sorry I can't explain the color better....but I really like it.

It is very easy to use. You just shampoo and condition your hair as you do normally, then apply enough of the product to coat your hair. I use 3-4 tablespoons. Leave it on your hair for three minutes, then rinse out. The color intensifies and looks richer with each shampoo. Covers my grey. Great product!

Hi, I bought it for my friends. They dye the hair for 1hr. It seems not enough at all. According to someone who used these products before, It should be 4hrs.

I mix a heaping tablespoon with conditioner and olive/grapeseed/jojoba oil and leave a plastic cap on for at least a hour
