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.

Hey Gary, you need the developer to mix with Chrystal Clear, Crystal clear alone won't do much to your clients hair.... just so you know Crystal clear can be used by it self or mixed with a toner to get a better gloss. Basically crystal clear plus the developer applied to you hair it's like applying a clear coat of polish to your fingernails. hope this helps.

I use the non-tinted tube. I assume you are using the tinted version. I believe there are two shades of that NHD. Do you have the right shade for your skin tone? I sometimes will put the amount in my palm and let it warm up and it becomes easier to spread.

Also, since you are using a the light brown mix to achieve this color they mix a proportion of henna with a proportion of indigo. I don't know how familiar you are with henna but straight henna should be mixed the night before and let sit over night to allow to dye to release to its maximum. Indigo does not need this and will fade so it must be used once mixed or soon after mixed to achieve the desired results. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that and didn't let it sit over night because in that case you would not get the results you wanted.

Definitely use the medium. You can reapply to add depth of color. I think dark will be too much for fair skin.

This worked for me on my hennaed hair! I only use 100% lab tested henna and some indigo and cassia. After 2 applications I've gone from deep cherry ends to medium coppery ends and my roots are almost back to my original color with just a slight coppery tint. I'm going to try 2 more applications to try to even out the roots and ends.

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.

It's a cream in a tube only you don't need to mix it with developer. All bleaching/lifting should be done prior to using the color.

For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver. (But I use SPLAT kit, their bleach is super amazing, my hair always got burned even just for 5 mins with other bleaches but with splat bleach I left for 1 hour and my hair doesn't have any problems^^) 2nd thing you need to know, The Pravana is not permanent color.my experience was that After 8or10 shampoos the colors get faded (with splat it's the same cause the both are not permanent) I hope you will have the color you want.

You need liquid or creme developer to mix with this toner, that's it. Keep in mind that this is not a dye- it will not significantly change your hair color unless your hair is a very pale, pre-lightened blonde.

The quick answer I have is that it depends on two things: what color your hair is now, & how you prepare the henna. I highly recommend the techniques in this free henna book pdf.(maybe skip the first part which is history, the good stuff is a little ways down) http://www.hennaforhair.com/freebooks/hennaforhair.pdf I have used the technique twice now and am not at all disappointed like I have been with past hennas where I just boiled the water etc... Anyway, they will show you before and after pics of different types and colors of hair which helps a lot! Plus the lemon juice overnight thing works so well, my hair has stayed so well since I did it with this Silk and Stone (but I did a mix cus I have dark hair and wanted more dark auburn) I still get compliments, so this particular powder should do you very well assuming you use a good technique. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me =)

I also have super thick, long hair, and I found that one tube was plenty. I mixed it with toner (30 volume) so that basically doubled the volume of dye - and made the color longer lasting.

I bought only the one colour (3 tubes) which complements my hair colour and complexion. I don't know all of the colours produced nor available as I am not a seller. I hope this helps.

It works well and it is not too light. Its darker than a strawberry blonde. My hair is really fine and shorter than yours and I use half of a box each time. I would say a full box would be plenty for you. Here's a tip....when you mix it, let it sit for at least 90 minutes before putting it on your hair. Then you don't have to leave it on as long. I have lots of gray to cover so I leave it in about 45 mins after letting it sit for 90. Sorry I can't explain the color better....but I really like it.

I have very long, thick, dark hair and 1 packet (100g) was enough. Realize that you also need Henna powder to finish your dying process. Make sure you leave the paste in for at least as long as the directions say. Because this is natural, leaving it in your hair longer will not damage your hair, it will only make the dye stronger.

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.

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!
