Does anyone know what strength developer this kit uses? the Loreal Caramel one uses 35 volume, I need at least that for dark hair or it's too brassy.

this is recommended for dark hair as well as medium -- You can always throw a toner after frosting - if it is too brassy

I am a natural blonde and this product brings up a platinum color to the strands pulled. I would suggest contacting the company's hotline to determine the developer strength. Call us Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. EST, or Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST. In the U.S., you can call 1-800-252-4765 for English, or 1-800-477-7262 for Spanish.

This mixes with the actual hair dye to activate it.so u need the dye and this but the volumes are different. Example this one volume 18 is for dyeing grey hair better. This in my opinion is a very good product i use this brand only and #5 coloring. Hope this helps

I used 20 volume with it on my hair. The only real difference is that the 20 volume won't lift as much of your original color as 30 volume. If you have really dark hair and still want bright red you'll want to use 30 volume. My hair is naturally light to medium brown and using 20 volume it was still bright red.

Glad you asked. I have fairly fine hair but do color it which gives it volume.Best spray in the world is Rusk W8less Plus hairspray. I have tried them all. Try it, you will love it!

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.

We used a product at salon to remove the brassy buildup (actually two separate applications/appointments) and followed up with this.... I continue to use this and LOVE it... it truly has helped and I have not had an issue since. I had let color grow out to allow my natural "gray" and couldn't believe the build up that I was experiencing after working so hard to get to the natural state.... give this a try.... you won't be sorry.

I have used Aveda Blue Malva as recommended by my stylist for my silver hair, to help retain the silver luster without the yellow build-up some shampoos & conditioners cause. I liked it initially but after a week my hair was very dry ( I shampoo every third day & used Malva conditioner ). I switched to Pureology and haven't looked back ! Worth every cent. I use the Pureology hydration ( purple bottle ). Might try the Platinum based on the description, either or it's Purology so it's going to be a great product.

Honestly I think you may have to play around with it to find the right one. I bought natural and it was a little too dark, you can always buy a lighter shade to mix with one that's too dark. Your best bet is to go to a store and actually hold one to your skin before you order online. Also try the Loreal website

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 :)

I have used every brand at some point. Some work better than others. The best are Metallica and one coat cremes. Have fun!

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.

You will get a more intense result if applied to dry hair, or if your hair is extremely porous. I'm a big fan of T18 (White Lady) and have found that if I need to tone out very brassy hair, I will use 10 volume as opposed to 20. If you're wanting an extreme ashy look, try mixing with 10 & applying to dry hair. If you just need to neutralize, I would not recommend this route!

Not really. I stopped using it quickly because it dried out my hair, so perhaps i never really gave it a chance. The best is (was) ArtTech, but after Loreal bought the line, it seemed to have lost its effectiveness. Maybe you can still find the old bottles on the Internet somewhere. Good luck!

It turned my hair platinum blonde within 20 minutes. I had light brown hair to start with. I used a 40% developer with it.

If you have alot of hair do one more kit than toy normally would. I usually use two and needed three as there isn't much in this kit. 30 isn't as strong and won't damage your hair as much. So I would try the 30 first.

YES!! Use a 20 developer; I use ION sensitive scalp (comes in dark purple bottle from Sally's Beauty Supply). Make sure you keep a constant eye on it as it may turn your hair purple if you leave it on too long! But this stuff will absolutely take the yellow out of your hair and leave it that "Barbie" white blonde :)
