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 read about this concealer in one of my fashion books so I ordered it from Amazon. It is the best I've ever used and now will only use this brand. It is great. Problem is I have blonde hair and blue eyes, opposite of you so I don't know what color to tell you to order. Sorry

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:)

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.

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.

This developper is good for if you use the same color or a couple of shades lighter than your natural color. Always test in a small area before to apply on your entire hair.

Yes. The developer is the best part, because it is very low volume and will not wreck your hair. Get it wherever you buy the bottle of semi-permanent color. Put two ounces into the application bottle (looks like a ketchup squirter at a hot dog stand) and add the entire bottle of color. Shake gently, let it sit a few minutes, then apply to roots first. I feel like you can't go wrong with this stuff, but I'm not a professional.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

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.

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 will mix it with your hair color. You have 20 applications with the box displayed use only one application. You hair will appear darker and richer. I mix mine with black hair coloring.

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

I bought 2 just to be safe. Mine is thick, but not terribly long. I ended up mixing the color with conditioner. You don't need to mix with a developer (or toner as someone else said... not sure why you'd mix it with a toner), because it's more of a stain than a dye. It is super dark if you put the color straight on your hair, so I'd suggest mixing with conditioner to lighten it up and get the bright purple.

Yes you have to use a developer for this hair color. I have used 30 vol. and 20 vol. If your hair isn't dark you have use a lower volume.

I use a darker shade even though my hair is lighter. I had the same problem with the lighter shade. It was just too light to show up. Darker works really well and you can mix them til you get the right tone. My hair looks thick if my roots are darker and no one can even tell. you won't need nearly as much product that way.

yes. to lift and apply color use any good 20 volume developer. to lay down color only on light hair use 10 volume developer. if there a lot of grey you may want to choose a 20 v0oume developer such as grey be gone. good luck
