Hi!! I used a 10 developer and did use the whole tube. I eyeballed it and used same amount developer as hair dye. Please be careful I just went to the salon to get new color and they had a hard time lifting the color out of my hair even with a 10 developer.. Good luck!!

No I do not I only use one ounce to 1 1/2 ounce of developer to cover my gray and leave for 45 min. Depends how much hair you have I am only covering my roots. If long hair maybe half the tube

It depends on your hair. My hair is long and thick. I only use a fourth of a tube for touch-ups on my grey new-growth. Then about every six months or so do I use a whole tube to refresh the rest of the hair. This hair color is the best I've used and last for a very long time.

The instructions are printed on the inside of the box.Pravana is NOT mixed 1:1 with developers like most dyes. You mix it in a ratio of 1 part dye to 1.5 parts developer. It is also a larger 3 oz tube not the standard 2oz size. For both these reasons the tubes are a good value.

I use it all because my hair is thick and long.I use the same amount of developer. You should always use tge same amount of each.

I use 10 to make it fill in my color if u use 20 it does make a little lighter of the color.

I don't really understand your question. This particular item is a processing solution. It is used with Redken Eq, demi permanent hair dye. If you use it alone, it won't do anything. It is 20 developer, but is specifically designed to be used with the Redken demi color. I hope that helps. The Redken Eq, is not semi dye. It is a demi dye, which means that it goes into the hair follicle,not on top of the hair, like semi hair color. The color lasts a longer time, than a semi dye. Infact, I don't believe that Redken makes a semi color anymore. I hope that helps. Anymore questions, I will try to help out the best I can:) I don't really understand your question.

I mix a few drops with the developer when I color my hair. Excellent product.

sIf I remember correctly the maiden henna is a dry formula that you mix with water. It is messy and takes a lot of product. I now use the "Surya Brasil" cream formula. I like it much better, easier to use and the color last longer. You would probably need three bottles of the product. I would buy two of each color if that's the color you want. I have grey hair and use the chocolate cream color and it comes our a brownish mahogany on me. good luck!

I recommend using a 30 or 40 level developer. if you use a 30 volume developer then you have to leave the bleach on your hair longer vs a 40 can be more damaging but you leave it on for less time. 40 is designed for non virgin hair...its harsh but effective. be sure to wrap your head in a shower cap or plastic and apply heat to speed up the processing time

For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver. (But I use SPLAT kit, their bleach is super amazing, my hair always got burned even just for 5 mins with other bleaches but with splat bleach I left for 1 hour and my hair doesn't have any problems^^) 2nd thing you need to know, The Pravana is not permanent color.my experience was that After 8or10 shampoos the colors get faded (with splat it's the same cause the both are not permanent) I hope you will have the color you want. Good luck. And share if you know how to get grey smokey hair color please. For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver.

Actually I used 2-3 tubes total for underarm I saw difference in color from 2nd tube I used but it seemed to me by using up the 3rd I noticed improving in color. I have to mention I wasn't applying regularly. I apply once a day. I applied other parts of my body so the tube wasn't for underarms only. I think you have to stop once you see a good shade and don't go over as it might go whiter than the skin around the armpits. I don't believe you will need more than 3 tubes for underarms only.

I also have super thick, long hair, and I found that one tube was plenty. I mixed it with toner (30 volume) so that basically doubled the volume of dye - and made the color longer lasting.

Because I was new to coloring my own hair, I purchased Wella Colorcharm Cream Developer, 20 Volume. Hope this helps!

it is a hair dye. it is used with the developer product, and I'm not an expert but the stronger the developer, the more life you'll get. keep in mind that when you lift, hair tends to get a reddish tint. But of all the hair colors, pravana has the best options for non-brassy colors if that's not what you want. just choose the color carefully. I love this brand.

My hair is color treated with dark n lovely Golden Bronze and I used it. Please see my review under the name Tiffany M. White, I have a lot of information about what I did. Its been 3 weeks, I think since I put the texturizer in my hair. Hair looks great, its shiny, but I still have a bit of shrinkage.

I use Indigo. I don't like the brassy orange so now I'm toning it down with the Indigo. Then, use 3 - 4 times the Indigo as the Henna. Hope this helps.

The result was really dark even though I mixed with 40-50% neutral henna (no color). The problem is the indigo color which will go very dark. I am experimenting now with Avigal henna, using their neutral, hazel and champagne colors. Not there yet, but close. I ended up getting salon highlights to lighten up the results from Lively Light Brown. They say to do a strand test, but I did not do that.

I use to manage a salon, I can honestly say to start with a good accelerator and then go to a bronzer once you develop color. Also, This particular bronzer is nice but leaves lines as if you were spray tanned, so definitely don't start with this if you are pale!

Almost all pravana requires bleaching first. Especially if you want a true color. I would recommend bleaching to a level 9-10. And make sure your hair is completely dry and free of conditioners before coloring.

I just mix it in like any other hair coloring and it comes out fine. Just work it into a section at a time and then make sure all hair is covered with the coloring solution.
