How is that at covering gray with 10 vol peroxide? How long do you have to leave on for best gray coverage results?

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 use no lift (0 developer) and actually get some grey coverage. My guess is that 20 would be better. Or you could try 10.

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

I simply cover the area with a visible coating--it disappears in a few minutes. It doesn't stain in my experience.

I don't dilute it, I paint it directly on with a fan brush and leave it on for as long as I can stand it. When I first started using it, that was one minute or so. Now my skin can handle leaving it on for 3 or 4 minutes. Then rinse it off with really cold water until it doesn't burn anymore, and I usually put a cold washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes and hold that on my face afterwards too.

I have short hair with many gray strands and want a natural look. Where the time chart says leave it on 45 minutes, I leave it 35. It colors the gray but much lighter like my natural highlights. I use only 1/6th bottle per application and it lasts almost a year.

I apply this after I shower. Make sure you are completely dry as random droplets will mar your color. Hold the can about 12-15 inches away and spray continuously, moving the can in long sweeping arcs. I've done it enough now that I'm able to get even coverage, but when I first started using it, I would smooth the product over my skin (with a gloved hand--or it will stain your palm). It sometimes takes a couple of days application to get a perfectly balanced tan.

Lacee, it works on my blonde hair, I have roots too and I've never seen any gray or white residue. It goes on matte and you just work it thru and brush your hair well afterwards.

It covered my gray. It lasts as long as loving care did.....but that depends how often you wash your hair. I get rid of my gray every couple of months.

works on my graying hair. I am about 60/40 light brown/gray and it covers gray and lightens well.

I keep it on until it starts to burn or gets frosty. Probably 1-3 min. It depends on the,area of my face.

Hi, Denise. Wish I could help. I've had it awhile, and stained it gray.I love it, though. :-)

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.

None. Take a WET rag, hydrogen peroxide, and an iron. YouTube it. 1. Pour the peroxide into stain. 2. Put wet rag over 3. Put iron on high WITH STEAM on top of rag (just set it) for 10-30 seconds 4. Blot off- works on tons of stuff! Better for you than simple green nasty stuff too, and works better too!

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

I am having the same issue and I tried different things like using a hot blow dryer every 5-ten minutes so the color can take on the grays,I also tried leaving it on longer and also adding sage to the mix,using hrgrogen peroxide beforehand to soften the gray hair. I read all their instructions and although it did leave my hair nice and shiny it did not cover most of my grays and I will not be using this product ever again. i tries 4 times so i just give up and will try Tints of Nature next.

You can certainly mix the henna together with the indigo and adjust the ratio for your desired color. It will still cover the gray, but the 2-step process provides better coverage. I find that whichever procedure I choose, the gray roots start to emerge after 3 or 4 weeks.

When i use this product, I apply in one long streak at a time, then give it like ten seconds and then wipe the streak alittle. Do this in front of a long mirror so that you can make sure the color is even. You need to repeat until you get the look you want, you should wear gloves to protect your hands and nails from discoloration.This process takes time and patience. Good luck
