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.

Almost all pravana requires bleaching first. Especially if you want a true color. I would recommend bleaching to a level 9-10. And make sure your hair is completely dry and free of conditioners before coloring.

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

No u do not. Simply get the pravana In whatever color u want n throw it in ur hair. I suggest if u have longer than like shoulder length hair to by two bottles my hair is about 3 inches past my shoulders n I'm glad I got 2 bottles.

There are not directions on the packaging and I have absolutely no beauty training so I advise this only as what works best for me; I typically use about a pea sized amount of dye to about three - five drops of developer. I find it works best when it's still thick because it stays better on my lashes and brows, about the consistency of lotion or toothpaste. I also make sure to mix them well so that all of the dye is exposed to the developer. When I first started using this product, I was also very concerned about this ratio but have found that it's not really an exact science and if you're off a little bit you will still achieve the same results.

The blue and purple pravana should always be mixed with a clear pravana- and using the whole color (purple or blue) should never be used - that would cause your hair to turn a whole lot darker. I would use a whole tube of clear coat pravana and half a tube of color. Of course depending on length of hair also. If you have light hair and you were to use a whole tube of strictly blue or purple- this could cause your hair to turn basically black.

I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well. It took three applications to mostly strip my hair but it was a yellow, brassy color and not the light blonde I was wanting. I would assume the black would be difficult to lift because it's so dark. But if you're not wanting to use bleach on your hair, I would suggest this product. Although, for me at least, it didn't work as well as I was hoping. I ended up just doing a soap cap (shampoo and bleach mixture) to get it blonde. I should also warn you that the smell of Pranana is extremely intense and can only be compared to a dog's fart. The smell lasts for multiple shampoos. Hope this is helpful! I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well.

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 usually only do portions of my hair which is very thick and long also, so I would buy two boxes (1 box = 100grams) if you want to dye all of your hair. Use 1 full box and half of the other. Keep the other half of the box for root touch ups.

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.

Hi there, no, you don't need a certain amount, just make sure the parts of same size, so 1:1 colour to developer. Probably about 60ml (2 fl oz) of each is a reasonable amount, but depends on how thick and long your hair is....

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.

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 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.

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 =)

It really depends on how light you want to go, if your hair is damaged or if your willing to risk it being damaged. I'm black with thick hair and I use a sensitive scalp 20 volume developer. I wouldn't recommend anyone use a 40 volume developer as it can be very harsh on the hair. If you think you may bleach it more then once I would suggest a 20 or 30 volume.
