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

You can certainly mix the henna together with the indigo and adjust the ratio for your desired color. It will still cover the gray, but the 2-step process provides better coverage. I find that whichever procedure I choose, the gray roots start to emerge after 3 or 4 weeks.

I just splat a whole bit of it on top over my wet hair after I shampoo and comb it through. Most of it washes out after the first shampoo. I just repeat. The color I'm using is close to my own color . . . it pretty much just covers the gray for me . . . nothing too dramatic.

Yes you can use it for just your roots but it pretty expensive to use that way but I do my roots first to cover the grey and then you can decide how long to leave it on the rest of your hair. I do 20 minutes on the roots and 10 on the rest but I have quite a bit of grey and I like mine a little dark. You could always do roots and then take it off of the rest of your hair after 5 minutes. Or just use it on your roots. This is the only kind of color that I have found that covers the grey and blends with the rest of my hair without the color difference. Great product for me.

Grey is by nature very hard to color. I recommend a test strip, as you should do any time you try a new product. I can tell you that Splat colors do saturate very well, however they will become washed out looking within a few weeks, though they never actually come out all the way on bleached hair. For a good look you should plan to reapply every few weeks. If you are planning for something that will be fun for now and then wash out then do not use this! Again, it doesn't ever come all the way out. Hope this helps. FYI...I love the Splat beach for a very high lift. I haven't found its match in taking dark hair to light yellow blonde.

My hair grows fast, so an application lasts me about 3-4 weeks, much like other hair dyes. If you leave the surya in your hair long enough when applying, it does a very good job of covering gray. I've not had problems with fading so much as my hair growing out. (I use black). Oh! there is a little bit that rubs off on pillowcases and the top of my white blouses, but not much. I try to really rinse well and I wash my hair a couple of times per week.

Sammy said to use less developer for grey coverage. Does anyone know how much less? Should I also increase processing time and/or add heat to processing? Thanks.

hello, what you need to do is, first determine what color you want to be... if you have grey or white roots, make sure you pick a natural color , like for instants.. natural brown , light natural blond.. use 20%peroxide... so mix 2 ounces of peroxide to one tube of the color with this product,,, if you need more info just ask me what you need to know.. i am actually a hair dresser and i have used this for yrs and it does have excellent coverage.... i also use other shades to mix with the natural color, meaning you need other tubes of accent color to mix with with your color for a more natural look... i hope i did not confuse you... hello, what you need to do is, first determine what color you want to be... if you have grey or white roots, make sure you pick a natural color , like for instants.. natural brown , light natural blond.. use 20%peroxide... so mix 2 ounces of peroxide to one tube of the color with this product,,, if you need more info just ask me what you need to know.. i am actually a hair dresser and i have used this for yrs and it does have excellent coverage.... i also use other shades to mix with the natural color, meaning you need other tubes of accent color to mix with with your color for a more... » Read More hello, what you need to do is, first determine what color you want to be... if you have grey or white roots, make sure you pick a natural color , like for instants.. natural brown , light natural blond.. use 20%peroxide... so mix 2 ounces of peroxide to one tube of the color with this product,,, if you need more info just ask me what you need to know.. i am actually a hair dresser and i have used this for yrs and it does have excellent coverage.... i also use other shades to mix with the natural color, meaning you need other tubes of accent color to mix with with your color for a more natural look... i hope i did not confuse you... « Show Less

I usually start in the front, where my hair is more gray. To make sure you get it all over, it is best to apply in sections. I start at the root of each section and massage to the ends. After you are done, Make sure you have massaged it in thoroughly. Then time it from 20 to 30 min. It really depends on how deep you want the color. I have a lot of yellow in my gray, so I leave it an hour. You can check it after 20 min and then go from there. Then you just rinse it out. I always shampoo first, then apply the color, then I apply my conditioner last. Make sure you rinse very well on the Born Blonde. It is very easy to use.

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.

I keep it on until it starts to burn or gets frosty. Probably 1-3 min. It depends on the,area of my face.

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.

The medium brown does cover my gray on the sides and hair line pretty well, but you have to leave it on for min of 20 minutes or even more. I even use it to get rid of the gray in my eyebrows. It doesn't contain any ammonia or peroxide , so it is does not last long. If you wash your hair everyday, then you will need to apply or at least touch up about every two weeks. If less often, a month. I love it because it is gentle and does not go bad if you do not use all of it at once. It lasts for a long time for touch ups. It comes right out of th ebottle..................no mixing.

this toner doesnt really "cover," so it will only neutralize your gray. it will very much lessen the gold! it might be a little on with light gray/ platinum side depending on what color hair your starting with

When i use this product, I apply in one long streak at a time, then give it like ten seconds and then wipe the streak alittle. Do this in front of a long mirror so that you can make sure the color is even. You need to repeat until you get the look you want, you should wear gloves to protect your hands and nails from discoloration.This process takes time and patience. Good luck

It stays on for me with primer about 6 hours an usually I'm on a motorcycle. You get light coverage unless you pack it on but it can get oily @pascal
