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.

The instructions suggest and it would probably be best if you waited 24 hours before washing your hair after you use the color. Also, a shampoo formulated for colored hair seems to help the color last.

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.

No .... Spray it in you hair I leave it in for 10 minutes and rinse out with cold water... Your hair will be amazing for about 3-4 weeks... I do this treatment every 3 weeks my hair is healthy for color treated hair...

I have short hair with many gray strands and want a natural look. Where the time chart says leave it on 45 minutes, I leave it 35. It colors the gray but much lighter like my natural highlights. I use only 1/6th bottle per application and it lasts almost a year.

Honestly I'm not sure I would leave mine in for 15 mins 30 max. What type of hair do you have and what ethic are you ? I think this is mainly for black people's hair.

I actually leave it in my hair for up to an hour sometimes. However, my haor stylist once said there is a thing called over conditioning. But i rather over than under. Hope this helpsm

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.

It depends what your hair color is: How dark or light -Black, dark brown, light brown? If it is a black you can leave it in for a long time. 4 hrs. medium brown you can leave it 2 hours, lighter 1/2 hour to be safe. Reminder: Remember to remove all rings, and no metal utensils, wood, glass, ceramic, plastic! Also a nice tip is if you use an egg it helps when you rinse the henna out immensely because you do not want to over rinse. I hope this helps!

In my experience, use lemon juice instead of h20, let it sit for several hours to let the dye release, apply to entire head, wrap in Saran Wrap, leave on for at least 8 hours, rinse well. Do not shampoo for a few days. To achieve the deep color, you will apply more frequently. Once you attain the color you want, then you maintain the roots with the same application process, while glazing the rest of your hair with a henna/conditioner mix left on for a shorter period. Be advised that henna looks bright reddish orange for the first few days and the mellows into a richer color in time. About a week after I henna, when the color has oxidized to the depth I like, I deep condition w/organic cold pressed coconut oil, wrap w/Saran Wrap, and leave in for as long as possible, at least overnight. Soften hairs, and seems to seal in that depth longer. With burgundy you will need to apply more than once to achieve that depth. It's a beautiful color that greatly changes based on lighting. If you have never hennaed before, research it well. Good luck.

it lasts until your hair grows out. The color does not fade. I love this product. And it's so easy to use. Colors in 7-8 minutes tops!!! does not stain your skin as long as you massage it wearing gloves while your are working it in.

I am a hairdresser who has been using this off and on for about 20 years. I'm a natural level 5 . I have mixed white now especially on the front right part, only about 25% grey throughout I would say. I have fine curly hair. Do not use heat or a cap. It needs to dry on your head. 1 hour is perfect. Do not shampoo out, just rinse though all the way through till water runs clear. I do not shampoo for several days, though you can after 24 hours. I use this and occasionally Clairol soy creme permanent haircolor in between henna treatments with no problem.

I know this is an all question but I would like to say that if this is your first time ever coloring your hair I mean if you have a virgin hair you don't need a 40 developer,that's too strong for your hair,you can do well with a 10 to 20 developer,since you never colored your hair before it will work fast.A 40 developer it is for someone who use hair color and wants to go from dark hair to blonde.

I leave it in my hair for about 20 min. After i rinse, I use Healthy Sexy hair's Color protecting conditioner and any dryness from the shampoo is gone. The longer you leave it in, the more vivid the results will be.

Usually you mix equal amounts of colors and developer. 2 oz. developer with total of 2oz. color, for example.

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.

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
