How is that at covering gray with 10 vol peroxide? How long do you have to leave on for best gray coverage results?
88148
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.

I use no lift (0 developer) and actually get some grey coverage. My guess is that 20 would be better. Or you could try 10.

Was wondering how you pick the developer? My mom had her hair colored at a salon here, and wants to do her own at home. So I got the color but I dont know what kind of developer to buy. She is all grey

Very few over the counter brow tints are going to be able to fully cover grey hair but if you're doing this on yourself and can reapply every week or so then you should get decent coverage. I'm an esthetician and use this in my salon. My clients who come in about once a month for tinting have all been very pleased with this product.

Apply color in bottle to dry hair. Use gloves included in pkg. (no mixing) Cover hair with plastic bag included in pkg. leave on 20-40 min. depending how much gray you have, or if you want darker results. Then rinse hair with water until water is clear. 'Apply conditioner that is included in pkg, wait 2 minutes and then rinse again. you are done. style hair as you normally would. PW

I have used the dark brown coloring on my hair which is approximately 25-30% gray. It covers the gray thoroughly. I do leave the product on for 30 minutes, which is longer than the directions recommend. Even with leaving it on for that length of time, my hair is soft and undamaged by the coloring.

Hi there..actually, I don't ever leave it on for it to get red...For me, I leave on for approx. 10-12 min. I've been use to this and I am Hispanic. I tend to wash with cool water and I can tell rather quickly I have a 'glow'. Now, about the 2nd or 3rd day, I am peeling just a bit. Not a lot, but a little exfoliation does take place. I hope this works for you. In fact, I have one more application and I need to order some more.

This formula is made to be rinsed off in 1-3 hrs depending on how dark they want to be. Use a different formula if you want to leave it on longer :)

I found it works better with NO hydrogen peroxide! I tried it with and without, and now I use it straight from the tube, leave on for 15 minutes, and wipe off gently with a damp cotton ball, and then a clean cotton ball. I use it to dye my eyelashes. It turned out much darker without the hydrogen peroxide. NO, I did not go blind. Lol! Also, the $12 is a great savings over going to the salon every 7 weeks or so and getting them done for $25 & spending the time. I love it!

No ammonia or peroxide. This is considered a temporary color. It will cover the gray, but will not lighten darker hair. You can find answers to your questions at the clairol natural instincts website.

I'm not sure. I still haven't finished my tube. A little goes a long way. I tend put a drop glob onto a tiny ceramic plate I have for cosmetics. I dab the brush into it, apply to hair, repeat. If I have a whole "halo" showing, I need probably 3 blobs, the size of finger nail. If it's just the sides, then just one is enough. The consistency is liquid, probably a bit thinner than ketchup. I tend to use it as an emergency treatment when my grays are showing too much and I haven't had time to color my hair but maybe for 4 or 5 days, not longer, so I don't use it a huge amount. I am very very gray under there so there comes a point when it's quicker and easier to color my hair again. I'm not sure. I still haven't finished my tube. A little goes a long way.

U have to clean and prep according to the Instructions. Did it in grey and have had multiple compliments of how nice it turned out. I even stretched the recommended coverage, made a gallon work for a 12` jonboat. Covered the bottom and sides with this great non skid durable coating.

3 drops of peroxide per small dollop of dye must be a paste consistency not running so that it does not get into the eye.Leave 7-10 or a little longer for desired intensity of color the longer you leave it the more that it grabs.

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.

None. Take a WET rag, hydrogen peroxide, and an iron. YouTube it. 1. Pour the peroxide into stain. 2. Put wet rag over 3. Put iron on high WITH STEAM on top of rag (just set it) for 10-30 seconds 4. Blot off- works on tons of stuff! Better for you than simple green nasty stuff too, and works better too!

I apply this after I shower. Make sure you are completely dry as random droplets will mar your color. Hold the can about 12-15 inches away and spray continuously, moving the can in long sweeping arcs. I've done it enough now that I'm able to get even coverage, but when I first started using it, I would smooth the product over my skin (with a gloved hand--or it will stain your palm). It sometimes takes a couple of days application to get a perfectly balanced tan.

not enough for totally gray. I would get the spray on color. It totally covers and washes out. I can't remember the name but most salons carry those spray on colors

I would suggest mousse, that way you are assured better coverage.Editing to add: I used the rinse a handful of times before giving up on it, and switching products to a mousse temporary dye.

This question sounds to me like you are NOT a professional Cosmetologist. THIS QUESTION DOES NOT INDICATE WHAT "WORKING VOLUME" OF PEROXIDE YOU WILL BE MIXING THIS BLEACH POWDER WITH... You need to be VERY CAREFUL when you USE or APPLY PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS like this. Chemicals like bleach CAN BURN someone's head, IF YOU ARE APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE SCALP, and if they have had STIMULANTS LIKE COFFEE or SUGAR within/prior to two or three days BEFORE application. DO NOT OVERLAP DURING APPLICATION, THIS CAN CAUSE THE HAIR TO BREAK OFF! You should be able to SEE what is going on THROUGH A CLEAR PLASTIC CAP, when you have bleach on anyone's hair. You need to shampoo the bleach off when it looks just a couple of shades DARKER than the lightness that you ultimately want the hair to be. If the hair looks light while wet, it's going to BE even lighter when it dries. BE VERY CAREFUL! IF THE HAIR GETS TOO WHITE, IT WILL TURN TO "MUSH" AND FALL OFF!
