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.

You really need to bleach first, and I highly recommend the Sparks lightener and creme developer to do it. I also recommend going with the Ion color stay formula for conditioning, and keeping from fading. Message if you have any more questions. I love this color, and it's totally worth the hassle.

Apply to roots first, leave it in your hair longer, and/or put on a plastic shower cap and apply heat from a dryer, but make sure you don't sweat. If those don't work, use 30 developer and know that it will be a lighter color.

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!

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 usually only do portions of my hair which is very thick and long also, so I would buy two boxes (1 box = 100grams) if you want to dye all of your hair. Use 1 full box and half of the other. Keep the other half of the box for root touch ups.

No it doesn't you need to buy your own if your hair is vergin and dark you only need a 20 developer. If it's light use a 10, if it's dark and died use a 30 developer (when you root touch up only 20) no developer needed to refresh color. I hope I was helpful

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

Yes, you need to use it with the color cream, 1:1 same amount of color cream equal the same amount of the activation liquid. If you need a dark color use the 10% , and if you want it lighter use the 20%. I hope I answered your question. It's great product.

Chromatics color needs color to be used with Chromatics developer. Color Gels developer is made specifically for Color Gels. Chromatics is defiantly worth it!

My hair is almost passed my boobs I would use 2 bottles just to be safe! But I use two bottles because I mixed the color together, it's a pretty good amount of hair dye for one tube, but be safe than sorry and get two :)

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.

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.

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.

There are not directions on the packaging and I have absolutely no beauty training so I advise this only as what works best for me; I typically use about a pea sized amount of dye to about three - five drops of developer. I find it works best when it's still thick because it stays better on my lashes and brows, about the consistency of lotion or toothpaste. I also make sure to mix them well so that all of the dye is exposed to the developer. When I first started using this product, I was also very concerned about this ratio but have found that it's not really an exact science and if you're off a little bit you will still achieve the same results.

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.
