Do I need developer with this product? I have level 2 brown with ash blonde highlights and my roots always turn very brassy. Thank you!

Depends on what you're asking. If you're just toning your blonde, use a Demi-permanent. It won't lift but neutralizes unwanted tones. But if you use any developer 5 Vol. and up, it will lift your base level. Which will cause warmth, at roots.

Dont really know what you are trying to accomplish. I use primarilly for OTC hair color since most the the OTC medium browncolor has WAY to much brassiness. This tones the copper or red tones down dramatically. I add 10 drops to my hair color priorto mixing all together. Hope that helps

Hey Blondie _ been there, done that!!! I know the balancing act. I Live it. Yes, this is the color you want, follow instructions and no brassy at all. Yay but, I fell asleep with it on for three hours, playboy white is what I got, not my favorite "Land O' Lakes" I have to fix it (been super busy) I will put a color on after doing roots to fix. Ok so your question- keep it about 1 hour with a shower cap (throw away process) yes it will be purple, and you will not have white hair it will be sexy blonde. From one to another xo

I love this product. I my hair is very dark before the gray showed up. If you have light brown hair it might not work, but med to dark yes. Also I towel dry after i shampoo and while still in the shower I comb my hair back and with he'd tilted back, squirt the product over the hair roots in the fron and middle of the head and brush it thru. Do not rinse. I then I finish showering I wrap a towel over my hair and then style as usual.. Warning: keep an old towel just for this, towel will pick up the grey tones of the product.

I depends on how dark natural hair is. My hair was light brown with some red in it. It will not produce a platinum blond but nets a realistic, ladylike believable blond that's not at all brassy. For some reason it was discontinued. If you have light hair, you wil not need to double-process by pre-bleaching.

This is a toner, not bleach. It neutralizes brassy tones. Yes, it needs to be mixed with developer.

No problem it is very easy - I haven't used it for a while but you mix it and then just apply it all over your hair and leave on for 10 minutes. I think it works well and is the best product I've found to get rid of brassiness.

When this happens to me, I carefully take a brown permanent sharpie or brown non sparkly eyeshadow. I carefully dab either on swiping w/ a towel where my seams show also in the part. It makes for a much more realistic looking, if you get it to dark you won't be happy, but dark enough to cover. There are probably tutorials on how to make roots on youtube. I buy expensive wigs w/ gradient roots, I think it looks more realistic. Hope that helps!

Yah I didn't have a problem with that. I have natural blonde hair and dye it dark brown and did root touch ups all the time with using this. It's nice it feels like a leave in conditioner when applying it.

Not familiar with naissant,sorry. I can tell you that if you are wanting to banish brassiness, in any haircolor, Nexxus will surely do the trick. It's very concentrated, so you use only a little amount.

I have am a natural blonde with dirty one roots. I used the product and when I went to my hair dresser she asked why my hair is orange. I would not use it on dark hair at all unless you want to have a pumpkin hue.

I'm not a professional, but I do use this color frequently. I don't think it would have any problem lightening medium ash brown hair. It's pretty strong. My natural color is dark blonde/light brown and my results are very similar to the photo on the box.

Not sure. My color is a deep brown with reddish auburn highlights. So far the Joico product seems to work for me as I alternate doing just new growth color one month and all of it the following.

Not really I used a few months ago and my roots don't look any darker, if you do it would be really subtle and you could just spray and it would go away!

I have red hair and gray around hair line. I used this and it made my roots look strawberry blonde (I used the dark red cream) I dyed it the 1st time left it on 45 min and my roots were brassy orange and the next time I left on for an hour and a half and looked natural red

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!!

Actually I have a dark brown hair so it's didn't effect on my hair but you can apply it just on the highlights by the brush this color is like a magic from yellow brassy to lightest ash tone I hope I helped you.
