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.

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.

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.

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.

I just mix it in like any other hair coloring and it comes out fine. Just work it into a section at a time and then make sure all hair is covered with the coloring solution.

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.

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 use every 4-6 weeks. Remember sulphate shampoos will strip this out of your hair causing you to need to do more often. It doesn't lighten hair color. If it's only been two weeks and I have my hair processed I use it again after processing.

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.

I mix a heaping tablespoon with conditioner and olive/grapeseed/jojoba oil and leave a plastic cap on for at least a hour

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.

Yes find your exact color, I suggest two bottles get A plastic type bucket which can be used later to wash it. The this g is to comb out the hairs apply like normal then acordian the entire piece in the bucket poor left over in with pieces do not stir get a wooden spoon and just push it to just keep hair sunk, next. Bottle that hasn't been opened poor over and push with the spoon, try. Not to tangle OK keep it I. There for at least four days yes four if ya want it perfect . When washing put conditioned only no shampoo ever rui s the slip. Ice water and cold water mixed well with conditioner suave works great. Make sure hair is combed out properly' good luck Yes find your exact color, I suggest two bottles get A plastic type bucket which can be used later to wash it.

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.

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.

I got this in mid-March and had my hairdresser bleach out the bottom 5" and do an ombre. I brought home the other half tube and mixed it with conditioner that I use to touch up the color. As it fades, on me it's gone a lighter blue and purple with maybe a little green, but not much. It's actually a nice color mixture as it fades.

Well that depends on how light your trying to go. If u just want some lift to a brown/light brown you can just use any 20 vol developer with this bleach up to 30-45 mins. Then apply the color ur going for. Otherwise if your trying to be really blonde and you have NEVER dye your hair before then use 30 vol instead you'll get a lighter result instantly. I do not suggest dying your hair more than once per day just becuz you want to be lighter and didn't achieve it the first time. Going from black to a much lighter color is a process and it may take more than once of dying. Btw I'm a license profession I hope this helps Well that depends on how light your trying to go.

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.
